Chris Stuckmann reviews The Nun II, starring Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, Storm Reid, Anna Popplewell, Bonnie Aarons, Katelyn Rose Downey, Suzanne Bertish. Directed by Michael Chaves.
First nun wasn’t terrible It was panned by the critics and definitely wasn’t amazing but it was a solid first entry Much like the first Annabelle … same story there And then Annabelle creation dropped and it was fucking class Hoping this follows suit
@@w1ldcard1986 Nah, the first Nun was absolutely terrible. Lame characters, not enough Valak, cheap annoying jump scares all around. What's worse is that the first movie was pretty boring, more boring than Annabelle Comes Home tbh 🤷
@@w1ldcard1986the nun 1 was awful. That whole blood of Christ plot was incredibly dumb and the payoff with sister Irene spitting it into the nuns face just made it even more cringey.
@@Joshua-ch2ij yeah cool story bro It was decent … not the best in the franchise by any stretch but it was visually stunning and definitely not as bad as the critics made out
Going into a movie blind is always the best way. I was an 80s kid and one day I saw a cool movie title in the theater ad in the paper and decided to check it out. That movie was "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and I loved it. One of my favorite (movie) childhood memories.
Before the internet became a big thing most people did not read movie reviews so people liked or loved movies and other stuff that we are told that we are supposed to hate nowadays all the time in the past. Most people does not seem to realise that the reason why they usually think stuff are good or bad or why they think certain ways about stuff or feel certain ways about stuff is because they have been told to think and feel that way.
@@CyberLance26 yes people did check out reviews. If they didn't read them in the paper there definitely were movie reviews on TV I mean siskel and ebert would've been out of business if people didn't
@@queentron17 We did not have TV shows like that here where i live. Yes movie reviews existed in the past too but most people did not feel the need to check them out before seeing the movies. If a movie looked cool they just went and watched it. Also nowadays you can just search for movie reviews easy on the internet but they were way harder to find before the internet became a big thing. I dont think most people even thought about movie reviews much back in the day. It only became a mainstream and regular thing after the internet became big.
I am super happy that you enjoyed the Nun 2. The first one disappointed me too. Can’t wait for Shelby Oaks and cannot wait for your 11th Halloween special. I look forward to it every year. 🙌🏼😄
@LuisSierra42 Dude, read the writing on the wall. He no longer grades movies. Now he's ignoring Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. It's obvious he's buttering us all up for his flop of a movie and is afraid of the bad reviews it's going to get. Comon.
@@EarthsGeomancer Some of his short films are actually decent. I think he's just farming karma for himself or maybe he's just nervous, you know, it's sometimes terrifying to release your movie even if you think it's good
The second one was just as shitty. Chris gave me false hope and that’s why I prefer Jeremy Jahns. Wasted my time and money seeing this forgettable jump scare trash.
I was also pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this one. I watched the first movie again Friday and had it fresh on the mind going into this one and I thought 2 was WAY better. The story was more engaging and the characters were more fleshed out. The "goat" scene was a nice addition too. I will definitely see a part 3 if they make one
Totally agree, this film was 10 times better than the first and 20 times more fun, beautifully shot and lots to get your teeth into story, character and horror-wise, a wonderful and satisfying sequel ! :)
I did watch the first one then this one right after to be fresh minded and this one the nun 2 was incredible the jump scared got me and the goat scene goin down the stairs was just that creepy couldn’t look at it feeling like it hit that perfect feeling of watching a horror demonic movie we’re you have a huge feeling to look away cause it’s that creepy but yeah the nun 2 was top tier perfectly executed must see the nun 3 cause the post credits scene I know they have to make a Third to follow that up
I love how you can really articulate your points on a very comprehensive level. Most people that review films can’t do that. I miss watching your reviews good or bad.
Saw it tonight with low expectations too and it was a nice surprise! This sequel was a huge improvement from the first one, which basically sucked. I'm glad we share opinions on this one! Definitely go watch it people!
I’m sorry but you have bad taste in horror films. This was equally as bad as the first filled with jump scares and shitty writing. “Sister, you saved me!” 🤦♂️ I was never so eager to get out of the theater
I feel the opposite as a consumer about going in totally blind, specifically when it comes to these big movies. with smaller movies or A24 types, I'll go see it and figure out if i like it. but these big movies, that have been preceded by the absolute lowest form of schlock, I probably won't bother unless I do hear that it actually is decent.
i work at a cinema and ive seen a couple movies a day before they get released and i gotta say the feeling of seeing a movie without any predetermined views is so freeing. wish everyone could have that experience a couple times
What I really liked about this movie was that it just had that uneasy feeling throughout the film like you really don't know what's going to happen but you know something is coming up the character valak is just such a menacing antagonist
I like the Nun as a horror villain so i would like her to become like Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhes, Chucky and other old famous horror villains.
I would have the film focus on the Nun being the ultimate incarnation of evil, the main protagonist is a nun who is the ultimate incarnation of good, which is more powerful, good or evil? The story focuses on a little girl who’s had a tragic beginning and Valak wants to turn her evil, but the good nun named Alaina wants to keep her good, Alaina and Valak would be ying and yang, in a fight for the soul of a child.
I feel the same, I didn't expect that I'd enjoy it as much, and I didn't expect that I'd be thinking about it long after the credits rolled. I do agree that the character work was better here, and the story as well, which I think has a lot to do with Akela Cooper being behind the pen. It also made me want to see Taissa Farmiga and Vera Farmiga in a possible Nun sequel where Sister Irene meets Ed and Lorraine for Maurice's exorcism like what was shown in the first Conjuring.
Ever since I saw a blind viewing of BARBARIAN, I've been hooked on not watching trailers or reviews. I did the same thing with TALK TO ME and THE NUN 2. I will continue to do so, lol. The experience is so much better.
Just left the theater and I couldn’t agree more!! Much better than the first one. The third act was intense!! Also the crowd made it 10 times better! To me the first film overdid the “jump scares” this film was just perfect not too many but def the ones we had on the film were perfect! Don’t leave right away there’s an ending credit scene
Your comment about going in blind made SO much sense, thanks for pointing that out. I also found it helpful to stop scoring movies on various websites: despite the fun of it, I found it interfered with my enjoyment of the movie, and made it more of "another piece of film to catalog" and assign a "fair score" to. Doing things for external rewards never works.
I appreciate this so much; I too have come to just completely avoid all media info before I see something. Unlike most people, I actually do like the first film, and I am really excited about going to see this new one, especially after your review!
Going in blind is the only way. No trailers, reviews, ratings. Have been doing it since The Conjuring 1 when they gave away the clap scare in the trailer. Glad you're on board and spreading the good word!!
I think you make a really good point about how some critics approach movie these days. They tend to act like their in a flim studies classroom and go over things that regular film viewers to be blunt do not care much about. Basically what I want out of a review is a general sense of the movie and whether the critic enjoyed watching it and whether I'm going to likely enjoy it. Your review reminded me a lot of the review Roger Ebert gave Goldeneye when Gene Siskel asked him if he'd recommend it to people given all it's technicaly and script issues and Ebert responded with "You know what? I'd say if you are a fan of James Bond movies then you are really going have a good time with this film." Thats the kind of review I want.
When’s the last time this guy critiqued or didn’t like a movie? Everytime a youtuber gets in industry, they turn into such a positive Pete All of the sudden lol
He said awhile back that he wasn’t going to bash other people’s work anymore since he is now making his own and fully understands the amount of hard work that goes into making every film, even the “bad” ones. Pay attention, if you’re a fan you should know this.
Yeah, it's pretty odd. I don't remember really seeing a very critical review from him lately. I'm not an ardent follower of Stuckmann, but even so, what bruisermoore said sounds a bit nonsensical to me. You're not necessarily 'bashing' somebody's work by being critical of it. Frankly, being critical or negative shows filmmakers what they can do better in an actually impactful way. Even the movie score appears to have been done away with. But scores can give you a good idea of how much a reviewer liked the movie, and how close it is to providing everything the reviewer wanted. Otherwise, you're just left guessing based on very subjective terminology like 'good' or 'I enjoyed it'. Okay? Of course, as a reviewer you do need to be constructive in your approach.
@@bruisermooreif you’re a “fan”, you’ll know this is literally called selling out. It’s not a good thing, unless you desperately need friends and think Chris will become your next one if you keep kissing up lol
@@NetherlandsFirstthe truth is, being “critical” of someone else’s works is never going to do you any good in the toxic “creative” industry, such as the case of Hollywood film making industry.
The dialogue was endless exposition, then the priest in the library saying "I don't know much, I'm just a librarian..." only to go on to tell them who the demon is, what it wants, how it's going about it, how to beat it, and where to find the McGuffin to beat it.... is a example of why this movie is trash. Valak is a GOAT'd horror villain and the first two conjuring movies are legendary. Annabelle: Creation was good too. This is trash and it broke my heart.
I very much agreed on what Chris mentions about going into the movies or watching a new series without reading any other reviews or opinion especially from social media these days, because for me not only it takes away the fun and excitement from it but it's very true that it had already planted a certain conception into our mind.. Resulting us to 'believe' what was read/listened earlier, but with prejudice.
It's actually funny that Vera Farmiga's sister, Taissa Farmiga has a role in The Nun as part of The Conjuring Universe yet both of them played characters that aren't related to one another despite both actors are siblings in real life
@@MyZ001 Fun Fact : They have played a mother and daughter role in the movie At Middleton. Vera played the mom, Taissa played the daughter 😂 Taissa is the youngest, seventh child in the Farmiga siblings, Vera is the second. Both have a 21 year gap
It’s so stupid that they don’t have them be related, they both even have that supernatural premonition power. She might as well be her mother, or aunt or something.
@@alexman378 Well remember that Lorraine Warren is a real person, not fictional character unlike Sister Irene in The Nun so obviously they can't messed up her actual family tree 🤷
I’m with him on avoiding critic scores and such. I don’t really watch trailers anymore, unless I happen upon it or when I’m at the theatre. Frankly makes it so much more enjoyable going into it.
I totally agree with you about not seeing the scores online before going in to see this. I haven’t come across those scores at all on Twitter, but i did came back from the theaters after watching it, and the movie did work well with me; definitely better than the first one. I’m glad they didn’t add forced humor to Maurice like they did in the first movie.
Lol wow you thought Nun 2 was good? I wasted my time and money thanks to Chris’ false hope of this film being better than the first but it was boring and torture. I couldn’t wait for it to end.
was in the theater for "talk to me" and as soon as i saw the nun in the trailer I rolled my eyes so hard I passed out. and the trailer was exactly what I expected, none stop jump scares with obnoxiously loud sounds.
I really appreciate this review! I also wasn't impressed with the first one and don't remember it too well outside of being jarred by some sloppy editing. I haven't seen La Llorona or the first and third Annabelle movies, and was on the fence about this one, but if I get a chance this weekend I think I'll go for it. Maybe I'll do a double feature with Equalizer 3.
@@newmanboomin5291Thing is, I often end up enjoying movies others don't like, and even if I don't like it, bad horror movies are usually still fun to watch once. EDIT: Saw it earlier today and really enjoyed it! I thought it was a big improvement over the first one.
I have let opinions of others on line distort my view of a movie before I have even seen it. Going in I have this preconception that it is not good. I love that you realize that and let people know to decide for yourselves whether you are entertained or not. You are the only reviewer that I trust now. Keep on telling people what is good about a movie and we will keep watching. Take care Chris!
Nice review! I'm not a modern horror fan but I still really enjoy your reviews. And what you said about ignoring reviews and rotten tomatoes and seeing a film because you want to is spot on!!! That could be a video subject on its own...*hint hint*
The film is excellent the visual patterns imbedded in the picture are very well made not cheap at all actually very creepy and realistic looking. I knew it’s going to be good I remember the scene with the painting and the walking shadow in the conjuring and that was an excellent really well made scary transition. Even If you turn the audio off it will scare you a lot. If a film has the capability to do this you know it’s a good one
In the trend these days where horror directors are transitioning to making superhero movies, I'm actually interested to see if Michael Chaves could direct a superhero movie with a right material to work with
@@Jim-Halp1234 He's stuck with a mediocre script to work with. He can make a competent well made movie visually and can capture the actor's emotion good enough but he needs a better script to work with, that's pretty much it
@@Jim-Halp1234La Iiorona was the only bad one, The Conjuring 3 and The Nun 2 were pretty good. He doesn't have that much experience, give him some time and even with this little experience he made 2 decent horror movies
The first one is underrated imo. It's got hardcore gothic atmosphere out the ass and I like the simple story used a vehicle to (lightly, albeit) look at fervent fanaticism. Looking forward to this one.
The day after the Rotten Tomato scandal, Chris devoted a portion of his review to distancing himself from the site? Hmmm. I'm not sure how to read that...
Yaaaaass!! I love that you’re ignoring the scores and going in blind. I’ve been doing this for a while, starting with skipping all trailers of any movie I’m interested in, and it’s been a a game-changer (and I loathe that phrase). The Empty Man and Censor were two horror films I went into totally blind and LOVED them. Thanks for reminding us that going in blind is the most enjoyable way, Chris!
Exactly. I think Stuckmann's point doesn't make much sense here. Many people already have their opinion ready - they're determined to find and read the reviews they *want* to find and read, which usually support their preconceived notions and sensibilities. Those people can't be saved anyway. They will think whatever they want to think, regardless of having read a review or not. Personally, I've never let a review *determine* my views - I'm not even sure a review has that power. What reviews CAN do, is put you in a certain mindset - looking forward to something or not. That said, watching the movie and seeing how you were wrong dispels that mindset. It's your own responsibility to learn to accept other people's opinions while still making up your own mind. Avoiding reviews or review scores is not the answer, that's just babying people.
It’s funny cuz I really enjoy the first Nun and the second not so much 😅 Glad you enjoyed it. I also dont like to read reviews. I’m feel I’m the only one who actually liked The Flash too 😆
Well said Chris! Saw it tonight with my daughter and I felt it was a fun watch. I went in with low expectations too but there were lots of cool different things. I enjoyed it and no not the best film I’ve ever seen but it was fun.
I definitely enjoyed the film more then I was expecting too (this is coming from the perspective of someone who hasn’t seen the first film). The mark Kermode “quite, quite, quite NUN” format definitely holds true certainty holds true. However I’d say I found about 50% of the jump scares quite effective but I did see the film in 4DX so I big part of the scares for me more had to do with the sudden shaking of the seats rather then what was on screen. Ultimately the story was very enjoyable and the characters were easy to connect too, the performances were decently other then some pretty Rocky accents (though a lot of that had to do I think with me being Irish and being quite picky in what makes a good Irish accent, but to give cretic to Susan from naria when the accents was it was very accurate it just had a tendency to slip with certain words and phrases) at the end of the day it’s a fun film to watch in a packed cinema but do I feel a compulsion to ever watch it again ? No, but I’ve left the cinema more disappointed with films I’ve been hyped for. In conclusion from the perspective of a hipstery horror fan its a pleasant surprised that’s very enjoyable despite being flawed
i watch the movie blind as well and with low expectations. Somehow it still disappointed me. Im not saying you are wrong however this movie has all the bad qualities as the other conjuring franchise movies have. A nice potential yet failed delivery. I felt the jumpscares were predictable and the way people kept checking out spooky areas by themselves was repulsive. Im not saying directing is easy, but you shouldnt make your scary or chilling moments consist of a lazy writing. I say the best thing about the movie was valek killing the girl in the beginning. I wasnt expecting that and when i seen it I thought maybe nobody was safe yet i was wrong. Nearly everyone survive, the devil goat was pointless, got held back by three teenage or younger girls and a school teacher. The nun of course didnt do anything and that ending to me was underwhelming. If you like it, Im glad for you. Me personally thought this was at the bottom of an already failing franchise.
I actually watched this movie the same as you, I didn't read reviews I stayed away from the scores and I actually was feeling it was going to be a better movie because of the director and editor which turns out I wasn't wrong at all, however I will say the visions and the many logic jumps felt to me that WB may have had a hand in cutting the movies length down, I felt like there was missing script, missing scenes or sequences and I don't know what it was. I give it a 7/10 because it not only entertained me but kept me invested in the story all the way through. I love the direction wan wants the universe to go in, however WB seems to be suffocating it's own creators and I really, really hope that stops because they're harming themselves.
I agree that it is better not to know anything about a movie, even the critic or audience rating. However, if I'm not planning to watch a movie either way, a high score may convince me to watch it. But if I am interested in seeing a movie already, I really don't want to know!
I love the contrast between Chris and Jeremy's reviews for this movie. Just goes to show that there's still something for everyone in the horror genre!
I gotta say Chris, I've really come to love your new, non critical, non graded approach to movie reviews. Your channel used to be mine and many others go to place to check if a movie was worth seeing, but I think many of us stuck around as much as we did due to your love for films that was always so present in your content. And seeing your new form of review, where you'll only talk about a movie if you've got something you want to say about it, or about your experience with it, has been wonderful. It feels like there's a lot less pressure to explain and judge a movie in a sense, and it just feels like a guy talking about the thing he loves, while knowing what he's talking about and knowing how to talk about it to an audience. All of this to say, keep doing your thing, you're awesome, can't wait for Shelby!
One of my favorite vids you've done and not relating to the movie itself. We all really need to not look at reviews before seeing something. I agree with you that it can affect our experience. Keep up the great work Chris 🔥🔥🔥
I wish I waited for Jeremy Jahn’s review before seeing the same jump scare bore fest that is the Nun 2. Wasted time and money. Cheesy writing too. “Sister you saved me!” 🤦♂️
@@EarthsGeomancerwhat a sad life you have . you're spamming the same comment everywhere,must be hard to be lonely virg*n copy pasting comments to feel worthy
holy cow.. this is the first movie in a long time that i walked out on halfway through.. and i've seen some lack luster movies.. this movie was mind numbing.. and i had a strong drink in me before watching it.. i can't imagine watching this sober.
I'll tell you EXACTLY how I felt about this movie seeing it TWICE to truly summarize this movie up for those people on the fence about seeing it. I was sooooo bored from beginning to middle that I wasn't sure about this movie. THEN... the 2nd act kicked in and wow not only did it get my attention and entertain but it made me want to see the movie again. Many will be bored seeing the first part of this movie on a first viewing cause it's good but not great and audince members wont know much about whats going on but on a repeat viewing when you know what's to come the beginning dialog of the movie makes more sense and the movie is actually more intriguing believeit or not. Can't wait to see this with a big crowd as things get better towards the end.
Good tactic setting us up before your movie comes out Chris. Just go watch it don't look at the reviews wink wink. Says the guy that made his entire career criticizing movies lol
@@w1ldcard1986It's a decent film but the only thing running through my mind is why didn't they send more priests to help the good nun? They basically told her to eff off and deal with it on her own. Shaky story but the visuals are decent.
@@PrimePrius As a moderate fan of the franchise, I enjoyed it about as much as the others. Only thing I don’t get is how is Maurice still possessed/the Nun still exist in The Conjuring 2 if the Nun was defeated twice already in the ‘50s
@@comaofbowls84 so in reality they couldn’t really destroy the demon, just banish it back to hell. Now the main reason why they didn’t just do the same thing in ‘The Nun’ is because the gateway to hell was completely smashed during WWII, as they stated in the movie. So sending Valak back to hell when he/she can just bounce right back would be pointless. Which is why they try to destroy Valak rather than just banish him. This obviously doesn’t work, as Valak manages to escape by possessing ‘Frenchie’. But, the important point is that at the end of ‘The Nun’ the gateway is sealed up, although it does show a lot of cracks. We can assume that by the time ‘Conjuring 2’ takes place Father Burke has already informed The Vatican about the gateway and they have sealed it up properly like it was done in the past, allowing Lorraine to safely banish Valak by speaking his name, without the fear of him just coming back out into the monastery.
I'm gonna be honest chris I usually watch jeremy jahns reviews before yours but man do I appreciate your takes on certain movies that dude can be such a snob when it comes to horror and comedy films and I appreciate getting a second opinion from you so I don't miss out on hits like this
I might be in the minority but I miss when Stuckmann would trash awful movies. I get it, he’s working in the industry now. I got my hopes up when I saw he’s reviewing Nun 2 but alas, he liked it. 😢
It might take a while for him to trash movies harshly once he has a lot of movies to prove how good he is as a director in the industry. I mean Tarantino can trash any movie he wants and he can get away with it while he is working in the industry because he has made a lot of great movies in his entire career, same goes to Martin Scorsese dissing Marvel at that time Basically Stuckmann needs a huge ego in order to trash a lot of awful movies while he's working in the industry to survive. Atleast that's how I see it 🤷
I love your new take on going in blind. This is why I truly believe you are the GOAT of reviews. Please keep up the good work your work is appreciated. Cheers man!
Wholeheartedly agree with the approach to watch the movie, then read/watch reviews. I’ve been doing that for some time. I caught this movie last night and completely enjoyed it. Yes, I caught the leaps in logic and some poor edits where things happened off camera but I was invested in the story and characters. I find it interesting no one has yet mentioned the mid credits scene. I don’t know if it’s still a scene prequel to the first conjuring, the way The Nun (1) showed us Frenchie in his future or if it’s straight up teasing The Conjuring 4. And why did we see the Warren’s hallway as we did? Again, great movie. Look forward to hearing more of your efforts to view movies unbiased. I wish you well in the endeavor.
It feels weird hearing Chris recommend people watch movies blind. While I could see some movie buffs enjoying that extra layer of discovery theaters are freaking expensive and some people that have the money are short on spare time. A buddy of mine watched a movie on opening night with his wife and three kids without checking any revues. That movie was the LAST AIRBENDER.
I gave up on the habit of checking reviews and ratings before watching a movie a long time ago. I noticed that doing that subconsciously influences your opinion. Now I just go and watch the movie
Would 100% agree with the tomato meter bias. When I watched BVS, I was hesitant bc I saw it’s score. But after seeing it. I think it’s really well done. Might have some missteps but over all it’s all good. Others can be the opposite. There are a lot of movies where the score is high but when you watch it, it’s not living up to its score.
I'd love to go and make up my mind about most movies. However, films have become incredibly expensive to watch and saturated over the decades, and most people don't have time or money to wade through the large amounts of cinematic garbage flooding theaters over the years lately. I don't really look through rotten tomatoes anymore, but I can't say I'm really going to theaters either.
It was definitely better than the 1st 1. I feel like they could have shaved off at least 10/15 minutes and it would have been a much tighter and efficient film. Also I have some issues with the lore of the demon and the fact that it was actually still the Nun when it originally took the shape of the Nun to hide among the sisters. Once it was no longer among the sisters it should have take another form. Guess that would kill the franchise though🤷🏾♀️
“Behold…. the blood of Christ.” “Holy shit!” *”The holiest.”* The first Nun movie was terrible, but damn would I be lying if I said I didn’t have fun watching it😂
I genuinely loathed this film. It was abysmally bad. Uninspired and boring. Chris, I'm a LONG time fan but this review felt like you were paid to say what you said here. I'm shocked. Oh, and it completely contradicts the scene in Conjuring 1 where Frenchie is possessed because of what happened to him at the end of The Nun 1.
Honest opinion, this one has a good story, but the first one was more scary. This one relied heavily on jump scares and didn’t give that feeling like you need to look over your shoulder like the first one did. I say the 1st one was better
I really appreciate that despite the fact that most people agree that this movie is as bad as the first one, you skipped all the bad reviews and went into the movie with a clean mindset for the film. I did this as well, and I also thought it was a very solid film compared to the first one. Idk why people think your selling out to a “bad” movie when in reality your just sharing your genuine opinion and not nodding to everyone one else just cuz it’s the majority. Really appreciate your dedication to filmmaking man, and am super looking forward to Shelby Oaks.
I get it. You're a new director and judging others feels icky. But your comment of "preconceived ideas" doesn't make since. Its a judgement on the marketing. And that is okay. It's okay to judge the marketing and the presentation of a movie based on what you are presented. It only make since. It's okay. Don't judge the movie on these constraints. But if a marketing campaign presents a movie in a way and your experience is different, its okay to judge it based on ""preconceived ideas" considering those are the metrics you have been given.
I remember going to watch The Nun with my friends over the movie theater and it was so bad we were laughing the whole time Glad to see the second one did better!!
Saw it. Definitely worse than the first. For those who enjoyed it, I’m glad you did. I went in with super low expectations and still thought it was a stinker.
Pleeaasseee review “talk to me”!!! It’s an excellent horror movie, made by a couple of RUclipsrs🙌🏼 Totally blown away by how good it was. Hereditary level movie🔥
WTF??? Not even close 😂😂😂 Talk to me was trash. Unlikeable characters. The 2 jerks who have the statue don't even get their comeuppance. The kid who you at least felt bad for stupidly participates on getting possessed. Then the movie is ruined by the party possession montage. The move is more funny. No scary scenes whatsoever except for the kid getting his face mutilated which was more gory than scary. Not to mention the stupid predictable ending. Just a trash movie. Nowhere close to Hereditary.
This is rated R???? Why ??hahahha i thought this was so tamed u can make this a pg,, when i watch it there is no sense of dread and boring and uninterresting the people in theatre were snoozing...
@@sonson2815 Yeah, I saw it today. No idea how Chris likes this trash. Was a long slog of boring and cheap jump scares. The final five minutes did not make up for almost two hours of yawnfest.
@@richnewman yes i think cris now doesnt trash movies anymore unlike before.. i honestly like the first one atleast there is some dread and bleak atmosphere in that movie.. this one is meh
Looking forward to this one. Glad to hear a positive review from Chris. Heard another review from another RUclipsr who had come straight out of the theater and didn’t like the film. She really sounded like she knew exactly what she wanted to say about the movie and I had a feeling I’d regret her opinion. I trust this guy. We were going anyway. Now I’m confident I won’t be disappointed
Don’t trust Chris. Trust Jeremy Jahns. Chris gave me false hope and I ended up wasting my time and money on this jump scare bore fest with shit writing. Waiting for another horror to top Evil Dead Rise or Hereditary.
Wow, I have some pretty conflicting thoughts here. I did enjoy the magazine stand scene, but that was about it. I thought Storm Reid's character had the most interesting potential that just kind of fell flat, and that the story of the head priestess and her son was far too similar to the story of Burke and Daniel in the first film. Also, I understand the whole crux of this series/style of film is that the characters are GOING to do stupid things and I should just kind of accept that but the teacher's daughter following her bullies into the abandoned chapel, and even Sister Irene following the little boy around the dark city streets alone just seemed sooo far out of character, especially Sister Irene who is posing as having learned from the experiences of the first movie. Spoilers: I also thought that the sequence with the beast roaming the halls was SUPER underwhelming. He was supposed to be the literal embodiment of Satan but all he does is stab a child in the shoulder. Overall, I do think it is better than the first film but not by much. With the similarities between character beats and even overall structure with how the artifact is uncovered and used, I felt that The Nun II wasn't doing much different. Just a slightly better retelling of a similar story from the first, where the more interesting bits fell flat.
The last time I was this early… the first Nun still had a good rating.
lmao
First nun wasn’t terrible
It was panned by the critics and definitely wasn’t amazing but it was a solid first entry
Much like the first Annabelle … same story there
And then Annabelle creation dropped and it was fucking class
Hoping this follows suit
@@w1ldcard1986 Nah, the first Nun was absolutely terrible. Lame characters, not enough Valak, cheap annoying jump scares all around. What's worse is that the first movie was pretty boring, more boring than Annabelle Comes Home tbh 🤷
@@w1ldcard1986the nun 1 was awful. That whole blood of Christ plot was incredibly dumb and the payoff with sister Irene spitting it into the nuns face just made it even more cringey.
@@Joshua-ch2ij
yeah cool story bro
It was decent … not the best in the franchise by any stretch but it was visually stunning and definitely not as bad as the critics made out
Going into a movie blind is always the best way. I was an 80s kid and one day I saw a cool movie title in the theater ad in the paper and decided to check it out. That movie was "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and I loved it. One of my favorite (movie) childhood memories.
It still holds up too!
Before the internet became a big thing most people did not read movie reviews so people liked or loved movies and other stuff that we are told that we are supposed to hate nowadays all the time in the past.
Most people does not seem to realise that the reason why they usually think stuff are good or bad or why they think certain ways about stuff or feel certain ways about stuff is because they have been told to think and feel that way.
@@CyberLance26 yes people did check out reviews. If they didn't read them in the paper there definitely were movie reviews on TV I mean siskel and ebert would've been out of business if people didn't
He know his own movie Shelbys Oats is going to suck and have a low Tomato Meter score. 😂 He went to film school. Did you know?
@@queentron17 We did not have TV shows like that here where i live.
Yes movie reviews existed in the past too but most people did not feel the need to check them out before seeing the movies.
If a movie looked cool they just went and watched it.
Also nowadays you can just search for movie reviews easy on the internet but they were way harder to find before the internet became a big thing.
I dont think most people even thought about movie reviews much back in the day.
It only became a mainstream and regular thing after the internet became big.
I am super happy that you enjoyed the Nun 2. The first one disappointed me too. Can’t wait for Shelby Oaks and cannot wait for your 11th Halloween special. I look forward to it every year. 🙌🏼😄
Shelbys Oats is going to suck. That's why he is encouraging people not to look at Rotten Tomatoes 😂
@@EarthsGeomancer have you seen it?
@LuisSierra42 Dude, read the writing on the wall. He no longer grades movies. Now he's ignoring Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. It's obvious he's buttering us all up for his flop of a movie and is afraid of the bad reviews it's going to get. Comon.
@@EarthsGeomancer Some of his short films are actually decent. I think he's just farming karma for himself or maybe he's just nervous, you know, it's sometimes terrifying to release your movie even if you think it's good
The second one was just as shitty. Chris gave me false hope and that’s why I prefer Jeremy Jahns. Wasted my time and money seeing this forgettable jump scare trash.
I was also pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this one. I watched the first movie again Friday and had it fresh on the mind going into this one and I thought 2 was WAY better. The story was more engaging and the characters were more fleshed out. The "goat" scene was a nice addition too. I will definitely see a part 3 if they make one
Totally agree, this film was 10 times better than the first and 20 times more fun, beautifully shot and lots to get your teeth into story, character and horror-wise, a wonderful and satisfying sequel ! :)
there's a post credits scene where the conjuring guy gets a phone call from a priest, so yeah, there's most likely going to be a third
@larrybird9425 yeah I saw that.
I did watch the first one then this one right after to be fresh minded and this one the nun 2 was incredible the jump scared got me and the goat scene goin down the stairs was just that creepy couldn’t look at it feeling like it hit that perfect feeling of watching a horror demonic movie we’re you have a huge feeling to look away cause it’s that creepy but yeah the nun 2 was top tier perfectly executed must see the nun 3 cause the post credits scene I know they have to make a Third to follow that up
3:46 Chris prepping everyone for Shelby oaks
I love how you can really articulate your points on a very comprehensive level. Most people that review films can’t do that. I miss watching your reviews good or bad.
Saw it tonight with low expectations too and it was a nice surprise! This sequel was a huge improvement from the first one, which basically sucked. I'm glad we share opinions on this one! Definitely go watch it people!
Was it though? This movie was less than mid tbh
I’m sorry but you have bad taste in horror films. This was equally as bad as the first filled with jump scares and shitty writing. “Sister, you saved me!” 🤦♂️ I was never so eager to get out of the theater
The first movie was fine
i liked the first movie much better
This movie was horrible and boring who paid you to say this?
I feel the opposite as a consumer about going in totally blind, specifically when it comes to these big movies. with smaller movies or A24 types, I'll go see it and figure out if i like it. but these big movies, that have been preceded by the absolute lowest form of schlock, I probably won't bother unless I do hear that it actually is decent.
I loved the part where the girl was begging for her life and Valek said: “Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn …”. Truly inspirational.
Go and write this shit on woke ass movies. This was a good movie.
Chris you should review “The Mist” 2007, I saw that film yesterday and oh boy that ending is something else
i work at a cinema and ive seen a couple movies a day before they get released and i gotta say the feeling of seeing a movie without any predetermined views is so freeing. wish everyone could have that experience a couple times
What I really liked about this movie was that it just had that uneasy feeling throughout the film like you really don't know what's going to happen but you know something is coming up the character valak is just such a menacing antagonist
Bruh that movie was ass
that's good to know. Valek has been one of my favorite supernatural villian and i have been craving a good flick with her since conjuring 2.
I like the Nun as a horror villain so i would like her to become like Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhes, Chucky and other old famous horror villains.
Want a good horror? Evil dead rise or Hereditary. A psychological horror. Anything besides the same jump scare bore fest that is the Nun franchise.
I would have the film focus on the Nun being the ultimate incarnation of evil, the main protagonist is a nun who is the ultimate incarnation of good, which is more powerful, good or evil? The story focuses on a little girl who’s had a tragic beginning and Valak wants to turn her evil, but the good nun named Alaina wants to keep her good, Alaina and Valak would be ying and yang, in a fight for the soul of a child.
I feel the same, I didn't expect that I'd enjoy it as much, and I didn't expect that I'd be thinking about it long after the credits rolled. I do agree that the character work was better here, and the story as well, which I think has a lot to do with Akela Cooper being behind the pen. It also made me want to see Taissa Farmiga and Vera Farmiga in a possible Nun sequel where Sister Irene meets Ed and Lorraine for Maurice's exorcism like what was shown in the first Conjuring.
Ever since I saw a blind viewing of BARBARIAN, I've been hooked on not watching trailers or reviews.
I did the same thing with TALK TO ME and THE NUN 2.
I will continue to do so, lol.
The experience is so much better.
Just left the theater and I couldn’t agree more!! Much better than the first one. The third act was intense!! Also the crowd made it 10 times better! To me the first film overdid the “jump scares” this film was just perfect not too many but def the ones we had on the film were perfect! Don’t leave right away there’s an ending credit scene
It wasn't even scary, indisidious was scarier lol.
My entire theater was laughing the whole time
@@SSJGengaryou rly took ur time to say that man just do somethin useful atp
Your comment about going in blind made SO much sense, thanks for pointing that out. I also found it helpful to stop scoring movies on various websites: despite the fun of it, I found it interfered with my enjoyment of the movie, and made it more of "another piece of film to catalog" and assign a "fair score" to. Doing things for external rewards never works.
I appreciate this so much; I too have come to just completely avoid all media info before I see something. Unlike most people, I actually do like the first film, and I am really excited about going to see this new one, especially after your review!
Going in blind is the only way. No trailers, reviews, ratings. Have been doing it since The Conjuring 1 when they gave away the clap scare in the trailer. Glad you're on board and spreading the good word!!
I think you make a really good point about how some critics approach movie these days. They tend to act like their in a flim studies classroom and go over things that regular film viewers to be blunt do not care much about. Basically what I want out of a review is a general sense of the movie and whether the critic enjoyed watching it and whether I'm going to likely enjoy it.
Your review reminded me a lot of the review Roger Ebert gave Goldeneye when Gene Siskel asked him if he'd recommend it to people given all it's technicaly and script issues and Ebert responded with "You know what? I'd say if you are a fan of James Bond movies then you are really going have a good time with this film." Thats the kind of review I want.
facts!
You should review “Talk To Me” next
It’s amazing and incredibly scary
When’s the last time this guy critiqued or didn’t like a movie? Everytime a youtuber gets in industry, they turn into such a positive Pete All of the sudden lol
He said awhile back that he wasn’t going to bash other people’s work anymore since he is now making his own and fully understands the amount of hard work that goes into making every film, even the “bad” ones. Pay attention, if you’re a fan you should know this.
Blud got anime pfp💀
Yeah, it's pretty odd. I don't remember really seeing a very critical review from him lately. I'm not an ardent follower of Stuckmann, but even so, what bruisermoore said sounds a bit nonsensical to me. You're not necessarily 'bashing' somebody's work by being critical of it. Frankly, being critical or negative shows filmmakers what they can do better in an actually impactful way.
Even the movie score appears to have been done away with. But scores can give you a good idea of how much a reviewer liked the movie, and how close it is to providing everything the reviewer wanted. Otherwise, you're just left guessing based on very subjective terminology like 'good' or 'I enjoyed it'. Okay? Of course, as a reviewer you do need to be constructive in your approach.
@@bruisermooreif you’re a “fan”, you’ll know this is literally called selling out. It’s not a good thing, unless you desperately need friends and think Chris will become your next one if you keep kissing up lol
@@NetherlandsFirstthe truth is, being “critical” of someone else’s works is never going to do you any good in the toxic “creative” industry, such as the case of Hollywood film making industry.
Why isn't he giving ratings like before 🙂🙂
He has already explained this months ago. Look for his explainer video about the changes.
He shouldn't review movies any more if he can't be objective@@maeannengo4908
The dialogue was endless exposition, then the priest in the library saying "I don't know much, I'm just a librarian..." only to go on to tell them who the demon is, what it wants, how it's going about it, how to beat it, and where to find the McGuffin to beat it.... is a example of why this movie is trash.
Valak is a GOAT'd horror villain and the first two conjuring movies are legendary. Annabelle: Creation was good too.
This is trash and it broke my heart.
I agree with you 100 percent
Took my wife and we walked out towards the end.. lol
Movie was boring asf, it made me laugh a couple of times because of how bad it was.
I very much agreed on what Chris mentions about going into the movies or watching a new series without reading any other reviews or opinion especially from social media these days, because for me not only it takes away the fun and excitement from it but it's very true that it had already planted a certain conception into our mind.. Resulting us to 'believe' what was read/listened earlier, but with prejudice.
It's actually funny that Vera Farmiga's sister, Taissa Farmiga has a role in The Nun as part of The Conjuring Universe yet both of them played characters that aren't related to one another despite both actors are siblings in real life
Obvious thing is obvious.
Oh, it's her sister? I thought it was her daughter😆
@@MyZ001 Fun Fact : They have played a mother and daughter role in the movie At Middleton. Vera played the mom, Taissa played the daughter 😂
Taissa is the youngest, seventh child in the Farmiga siblings, Vera is the second. Both have a 21 year gap
It’s so stupid that they don’t have them be related, they both even have that supernatural premonition power. She might as well be her mother, or aunt or something.
@@alexman378 Well remember that Lorraine Warren is a real person, not fictional character unlike Sister Irene in The Nun so obviously they can't messed up her actual family tree 🤷
I’m with him on avoiding critic scores and such. I don’t really watch trailers anymore, unless I happen upon it or when I’m at the theatre. Frankly makes it so much more enjoyable going into it.
I totally agree with you about not seeing the scores online before going in to see this. I haven’t come across those scores at all on Twitter, but i did came back from the theaters after watching it, and the movie did work well with me; definitely better than the first one. I’m glad they didn’t add forced humor to Maurice like they did in the first movie.
He just k iw his own movie will suck and will uave a low score. Doesn't want people to see the low score. 😂
Lol wow you thought Nun 2 was good? I wasted my time and money thanks to Chris’ false hope of this film being better than the first but it was boring and torture. I couldn’t wait for it to end.
was in the theater for "talk to me" and as soon as i saw the nun in the trailer I rolled my eyes so hard I passed out. and the trailer was exactly what I expected, none stop jump scares with obnoxiously loud sounds.
By way s
Friend: Are you going to see this movie?
Me: Hell nun

I really appreciate this review! I also wasn't impressed with the first one and don't remember it too well outside of being jarred by some sloppy editing. I haven't seen La Llorona or the first and third Annabelle movies, and was on the fence about this one, but if I get a chance this weekend I think I'll go for it. Maybe I'll do a double feature with Equalizer 3.
Don’t waste your time on Nun 2. Trust me. It’s just as bad as the first. Nothing has changed
@@newmanboomin5291Thing is, I often end up enjoying movies others don't like, and even if I don't like it, bad horror movies are usually still fun to watch once.
EDIT: Saw it earlier today and really enjoyed it! I thought it was a big improvement over the first one.
Since he started making movies, this guy likes every movie now.
Yep he sold out
The first time I’m this early for a Stuckmann review and it’s for The Nun 2
LMAO same
I have let opinions of others on line distort my view of a movie before I have even seen it. Going in I have this preconception that it is not good. I love that you realize that and let people know to decide for yourselves whether you are entertained or not. You are the only reviewer that I trust now. Keep on telling people what is good about a movie and we will keep watching. Take care Chris!
Same
Nice review! I'm not a modern horror fan but I still really enjoy your reviews. And what you said about ignoring reviews and rotten tomatoes and seeing a film because you want to is spot on!!!
That could be a video subject on its own...*hint hint*
The film is excellent the visual patterns imbedded in the picture are very well made not cheap at all actually very creepy and realistic looking. I knew it’s going to be good I remember the scene with the painting and the walking shadow in the conjuring and that was an excellent really well made scary transition. Even If you turn the audio off it will scare you a lot. If a film has the capability to do this you know it’s a good one
Didn't expect this movie to be reviewed, considering how bad the first one was
The second was too.
You can always rely on Chris to give a thumbs up to a bad movie.... it's his new brand. 😆
@@aviergaz1199 no it wasn’t

@@vladutfrasincar6262 conjuring 3 was absolute garbage compared to the others and everyone knows that

The first one is underrated imo. It's got hardcore gothic atmosphere out the ass and I like the simple story used a vehicle to (lightly, albeit) look at fervent fanaticism. Looking forward to this one.
The day after the Rotten Tomato scandal, Chris devoted a portion of his review to distancing himself from the site? Hmmm. I'm not sure how to read that...
Yaaaaass!! I love that you’re ignoring the scores and going in blind. I’ve been doing this for a while, starting with skipping all trailers of any movie I’m interested in, and it’s been a a game-changer (and I loathe that phrase). The Empty Man and Censor were two horror films I went into totally blind and LOVED them. Thanks for reminding us that going in blind is the most enjoyable way, Chris!
Hey Chris I love your content! You should review the Terminator movies you haven’t covered since you’re doing classics
You dont need to avoid reviews to have preconceived thoughts on it, how hard is it to make up your opinion while youre watching it
Exactly
Exactly. I think Stuckmann's point doesn't make much sense here. Many people already have their opinion ready - they're determined to find and read the reviews they *want* to find and read, which usually support their preconceived notions and sensibilities. Those people can't be saved anyway. They will think whatever they want to think, regardless of having read a review or not.
Personally, I've never let a review *determine* my views - I'm not even sure a review has that power. What reviews CAN do, is put you in a certain mindset - looking forward to something or not. That said, watching the movie and seeing how you were wrong dispels that mindset. It's your own responsibility to learn to accept other people's opinions while still making up your own mind. Avoiding reviews or review scores is not the answer, that's just babying people.
It’s funny cuz I really enjoy the first Nun and the second not so much 😅 Glad you enjoyed it. I also dont like to read reviews. I’m feel I’m the only one who actually liked The Flash too 😆
Well said Chris! Saw it tonight with my daughter and I felt it was a fun watch. I went in with low expectations too but there were lots of cool different things. I enjoyed it and no not the best film I’ve ever seen but it was fun.
I definitely enjoyed the film more then I was expecting too (this is coming from the perspective of someone who hasn’t seen the first film). The mark Kermode “quite, quite, quite NUN” format definitely holds true certainty holds true. However I’d say I found about 50% of the jump scares quite effective but I did see the film in 4DX so I big part of the scares for me more had to do with the sudden shaking of the seats rather then what was on screen. Ultimately the story was very enjoyable and the characters were easy to connect too, the performances were decently other then some pretty Rocky accents (though a lot of that had to do I think with me being Irish and being quite picky in what makes a good Irish accent, but to give cretic to Susan from naria when the accents was it was very accurate it just had a tendency to slip with certain words and phrases) at the end of the day it’s a fun film to watch in a packed cinema but do I feel a compulsion to ever watch it again ? No, but I’ve left the cinema more disappointed with films I’ve been hyped for. In conclusion from the perspective of a hipstery horror fan its a pleasant surprised that’s very enjoyable despite being flawed
i watch the movie blind as well and with low expectations. Somehow it still disappointed me. Im not saying you are wrong however this movie has all the bad qualities as the other conjuring franchise movies have. A nice potential yet failed delivery. I felt the jumpscares were predictable and the way people kept checking out spooky areas by themselves was repulsive. Im not saying directing is easy, but you shouldnt make your scary or chilling moments consist of a lazy writing. I say the best thing about the movie was valek killing the girl in the beginning. I wasnt expecting that and when i seen it I thought maybe nobody was safe yet i was wrong. Nearly everyone survive, the devil goat was pointless, got held back by three teenage or younger girls and a school teacher. The nun of course didnt do anything and that ending to me was underwhelming. If you like it, Im glad for you. Me personally thought this was at the bottom of an already failing franchise.
Just got back from the theatre! This review is spot on! I had fun but it wasn’t great nor was it bad
Above average movie for sure but I am glad to have watched in theatre in big screen with all audio affects
I actually watched this movie the same as you, I didn't read reviews I stayed away from the scores and I actually was feeling it was going to be a better movie because of the director and editor which turns out I wasn't wrong at all, however I will say the visions and the many logic jumps felt to me that WB may have had a hand in cutting the movies length down, I felt like there was missing script, missing scenes or sequences and I don't know what it was. I give it a 7/10 because it not only entertained me but kept me invested in the story all the way through. I love the direction wan wants the universe to go in, however WB seems to be suffocating it's own creators and I really, really hope that stops because they're harming themselves.
I absolutely agree that it was much better than the first, this one actually had something going on
You basically shoot in your own foot, by saying watching reviews/opinions before a movie is pointless.
Not everyone reviews are objective. A lot of personal bias goes into bad reviews that can totally paint a work of art and some of lesser value
I have been avoiding reviews and scores of any sites for the past 2 years and it made my experience 1000% better thanks for pointing that out Chris
I may go to see this solely due to this review 👍🏽
Save your time and money. Chris gave me false hope. Listen to Jeremy Jahns. He’s spot on with the review.
@@newmanboomin5291 why are you replying to every comment loser
Was an average movie at best. Chris doesn’t do real reviews anymore.
Movie sucked alot
I agree that it is better not to know anything about a movie, even the critic or audience rating. However, if I'm not planning to watch a movie either way, a high score may convince me to watch it. But if I am interested in seeing a movie already, I really don't want to know!
I love the contrast between Chris and Jeremy's reviews for this movie. Just goes to show that there's still something for everyone in the horror genre!
Chris, doesn't say anything negative about movies anymore.
I gotta say Chris, I've really come to love your new, non critical, non graded approach to movie reviews. Your channel used to be mine and many others go to place to check if a movie was worth seeing, but I think many of us stuck around as much as we did due to your love for films that was always so present in your content. And seeing your new form of review, where you'll only talk about a movie if you've got something you want to say about it, or about your experience with it, has been wonderful. It feels like there's a lot less pressure to explain and judge a movie in a sense, and it just feels like a guy talking about the thing he loves, while knowing what he's talking about and knowing how to talk about it to an audience. All of this to say, keep doing your thing, you're awesome, can't wait for Shelby!
One of my favorite vids you've done and not relating to the movie itself. We all really need to not look at reviews before seeing something. I agree with you that it can affect our experience. Keep up the great work Chris 🔥🔥🔥
He just wants people not to look at the poor score his own movie will get once it comes outs. Shelbys Oats. He went to film school. Did ypu know?
I wish I waited for Jeremy Jahn’s review before seeing the same jump scare bore fest that is the Nun 2. Wasted time and money. Cheesy writing too. “Sister you saved me!” 🤦♂️

I genuinely have no idea how Chris can say what he's saying in this video without laughing at his own absurdity.
Yeah that magazine rack scene was oddly very well done. Wasn't expecting something that creative in a movie like this.
I'll tell you EXACTLY how I felt about this movie seeing it TWICE to truly summarize this movie up for those people on the fence about seeing it. I was sooooo bored from beginning to middle that I wasn't sure about this movie. THEN... the 2nd act kicked in and wow not only did it get my attention and entertain but it made me want to see the movie again. Many will be bored seeing the first part of this movie on a first viewing cause it's good but not great and audince members wont know much about whats going on but on a repeat viewing when you know what's to come the beginning dialog of the movie makes more sense and the movie is actually more intriguing believeit or not. Can't wait to see this with a big crowd as things get better towards the end.

@@w1ldcard1986It's a decent film but the only thing running through my mind is why didn't they send more priests to help the good nun? They basically told her to eff off and deal with it on her own. Shaky story but the visuals are decent.
@@PrimePrius As a moderate fan of the franchise, I enjoyed it about as much as the others. Only thing I don’t get is how is Maurice still possessed/the Nun still exist in The Conjuring 2 if the Nun was defeated twice already in the ‘50s
@@comaofbowls84 so in reality they couldn’t really destroy the demon, just banish it back to hell. Now the main reason why they didn’t just do the same thing in ‘The Nun’ is because the gateway to hell was completely smashed during WWII, as they stated in the movie. So sending Valak back to hell when he/she can just bounce right back would be pointless. Which is why they try to destroy Valak rather than just banish him. This obviously doesn’t work, as Valak manages to escape by possessing ‘Frenchie’. But, the important point is that at the end of ‘The Nun’ the gateway is sealed up, although it does show a lot of cracks. We can assume that by the time ‘Conjuring 2’ takes place Father Burke has already informed The Vatican about the gateway and they have sealed it up properly like it was done in the past, allowing Lorraine to safely banish Valak by speaking his name, without the fear of him just coming back out into the monastery.
Omg!! What did you win!? A golden dildo!? Congratulations!! 🎊
I'm gonna be honest chris I usually watch jeremy jahns reviews before yours but man do I appreciate your takes on certain movies that dude can be such a snob when it comes to horror and comedy films and I appreciate getting a second opinion from you so I don't miss out on hits like this
I might be in the minority but I miss when Stuckmann would trash awful movies. I get it, he’s working in the industry now.
I got my hopes up when I saw he’s reviewing Nun 2 but alas, he liked it. 😢
It might take a while for him to trash movies harshly once he has a lot of movies to prove how good he is as a director in the industry. I mean Tarantino can trash any movie he wants and he can get away with it while he is working in the industry because he has made a lot of great movies in his entire career, same goes to Martin Scorsese dissing Marvel at that time
Basically Stuckmann needs a huge ego in order to trash a lot of awful movies while he's working in the industry to survive. Atleast that's how I see it 🤷
You’re just to addicted to negativity maybe get a life and take time off the internet

I love your new take on going in blind. This is why I truly believe you are the GOAT of reviews. Please keep up the good work your work is appreciated. Cheers man!
Wholeheartedly agree with the approach to watch the movie, then read/watch reviews. I’ve been doing that for some time. I caught this movie last night and completely enjoyed it. Yes, I caught the leaps in logic and some poor edits where things happened off camera but I was invested in the story and characters. I find it interesting no one has yet mentioned the mid credits scene. I don’t know if it’s still a scene prequel to the first conjuring, the way The Nun (1) showed us Frenchie in his future or if it’s straight up teasing The Conjuring 4. And why did we see the Warren’s hallway as we did? Again, great movie. Look forward to hearing more of your efforts to view movies unbiased. I wish you well in the endeavor.
It feels weird hearing Chris recommend people watch movies blind. While I could see some movie buffs enjoying that extra layer of discovery theaters are freaking expensive and some people that have the money are short on spare time. A buddy of mine watched a movie on opening night with his wife and three kids without checking any revues. That movie was the LAST AIRBENDER.

@@farttruster8715what the fuck?

I gave up on the habit of checking reviews and ratings before watching a movie a long time ago. I noticed that doing that subconsciously influences your opinion. Now I just go and watch the movie
All the trailers released for this movie were filled with jump scares. Really hated all the trailers.
I totally agree with how critics reviews change the way we watch movies. I’ve stopped looking all together. I def want to watch this movie.
Would 100% agree with the tomato meter bias. When I watched BVS, I was hesitant bc I saw it’s score. But after seeing it. I think it’s really well done. Might have some missteps but over all it’s all good.
Others can be the opposite. There are a lot of movies where the score is high but when you watch it, it’s not living up to its score.
I'd love to go and make up my mind about most movies. However, films have become incredibly expensive to watch and saturated over the decades, and most people don't have time or money to wade through the large amounts of cinematic garbage flooding theaters over the years lately.
I don't really look through rotten tomatoes anymore, but I can't say I'm really going to theaters either.
It was definitely better than the 1st 1. I feel like they could have shaved off at least 10/15 minutes and it would have been a much tighter and efficient film. Also I have some issues with the lore of the demon and the fact that it was actually still the Nun when it originally took the shape of the Nun to hide among the sisters. Once it was no longer among the sisters it should have take another form. Guess that would kill the franchise though🤷🏾♀️
“Behold…. the blood of Christ.”
“Holy shit!”
*”The holiest.”*
The first Nun movie was terrible, but damn would I be lying if I said I didn’t have fun watching it😂
Easily the best quote from that first movie. lol
3:46 Chris is speaking facts right here!!🫡
I don’t trust ppls reviews for the most part anymore
It was trash
Im surprised this franchise found a way to count past one.
Chris grew up with the nun 😱
Jawan and Jailer review?
I genuinely loathed this film. It was abysmally bad. Uninspired and boring. Chris, I'm a LONG time fan but this review felt like you were paid to say what you said here. I'm shocked.
Oh, and it completely contradicts the scene in Conjuring 1 where Frenchie is possessed because of what happened to him at the end of The Nun 1.
Honest opinion, this one has a good story, but the first one was more scary. This one relied heavily on jump scares and didn’t give that feeling like you need to look over your shoulder like the first one did. I say the 1st one was better
Stuck man is just preparing his viewers for the bad reviews his movie gonna get?
Worst thing you can do before watching a movie: watch a trailer that lengthens more than 1.30 mins and check “critic” points.
I really appreciate that despite the fact that most people agree that this movie is as bad as the first one, you skipped all the bad reviews and went into the movie with a clean mindset for the film. I did this as well, and I also thought it was a very solid film compared to the first one. Idk why people think your selling out to a “bad” movie when in reality your just sharing your genuine opinion and not nodding to everyone one else just cuz it’s the majority. Really appreciate your dedication to filmmaking man, and am super looking forward to Shelby Oaks.
I get it. You're a new director and judging others feels icky. But your comment of "preconceived ideas" doesn't make since. Its a judgement on the marketing. And that is okay. It's okay to judge the marketing and the presentation of a movie based on what you are presented. It only make since. It's okay. Don't judge the movie on these constraints. But if a marketing campaign presents a movie in a way and your experience is different, its okay to judge it based on ""preconceived ideas" considering those are the metrics you have been given.
I remember going to watch The Nun with my friends over the movie theater and it was so bad we were laughing the whole time
Glad to see the second one did better!!
Saw it. Definitely worse than the first. For those who enjoyed it, I’m glad you did. I went in with super low expectations and still thought it was a stinker.
True
Is there a reason why James Wan does not do trilogies? 😶
Pleeaasseee review “talk to me”!!! It’s an excellent horror movie, made by a couple of RUclipsrs🙌🏼 Totally blown away by how good it was. Hereditary level movie🔥
WTF??? Not even close 😂😂😂 Talk to me was trash. Unlikeable characters. The 2 jerks who have the statue don't even get their comeuppance. The kid who you at least felt bad for stupidly participates on getting possessed. Then the movie is ruined by the party possession montage. The move is more funny. No scary scenes whatsoever except for the kid getting his face mutilated which was more gory than scary. Not to mention the stupid predictable ending. Just a trash movie. Nowhere close to Hereditary.
Why is this movie rated R? I've been reading/watching reviews but haven't seen anything that seems to warrant that rating.
This is rated R???? Why ??hahahha i thought this was so tamed u can make this a pg,, when i watch it there is no sense of dread and boring and uninterresting the people in theatre were snoozing...
@@sonson2815 Yeah, I saw it today. No idea how Chris likes this trash. Was a long slog of boring and cheap jump scares. The final five minutes did not make up for almost two hours of yawnfest.
@@richnewman yes i think cris now doesnt trash movies anymore unlike before.. i honestly like the first one atleast there is some dread and bleak atmosphere in that movie.. this one is meh
How much did they pay you?😂
Right!!! This movie was trash and he knows it
It's better than the first nun tho@@kingfancy7317
Do you think people need to watch the first Nun to appreciate this one? Your review now intrigues me.
Looking forward to this one. Glad to hear a positive review from Chris. Heard another review from another RUclipsr who had come straight out of the theater and didn’t like the film. She really sounded like she knew exactly what she wanted to say about the movie and I had a feeling I’d regret her opinion. I trust this guy. We were going anyway. Now I’m confident I won’t be disappointed
Most reviews are saying it's better than the first Nun but still has issues so it's better but I'd say lower your expectations a bit
Don’t trust Chris. Trust Jeremy Jahns. Chris gave me false hope and I ended up wasting my time and money on this jump scare bore fest with shit writing. Waiting for another horror to top Evil Dead Rise or Hereditary.
Wow, I have some pretty conflicting thoughts here. I did enjoy the magazine stand scene, but that was about it. I thought Storm Reid's character had the most interesting potential that just kind of fell flat, and that the story of the head priestess and her son was far too similar to the story of Burke and Daniel in the first film.
Also, I understand the whole crux of this series/style of film is that the characters are GOING to do stupid things and I should just kind of accept that but the teacher's daughter following her bullies into the abandoned chapel, and even Sister Irene following the little boy around the dark city streets alone just seemed sooo far out of character, especially Sister Irene who is posing as having learned from the experiences of the first movie.
Spoilers:
I also thought that the sequence with the beast roaming the halls was SUPER underwhelming. He was supposed to be the literal embodiment of Satan but all he does is stab a child in the shoulder. Overall, I do think it is better than the first film but not by much. With the similarities between character beats and even overall structure with how the artifact is uncovered and used, I felt that The Nun II wasn't doing much different. Just a slightly better retelling of a similar story from the first, where the more interesting bits fell flat.
