Wynonna Earp: Vengeance

I did enjoy the "Wynonna Earp" series, but I was unaware that they also spewed out movies. And thus, as I happened to stumble upon the 2024 movie "Wynonna Earp: Vengeance" by random chance here in 2024, I was taken aback by surprise, but needed no persuasion to sit down and watch the movie.

Writer Emily Andras put together a fair enough script, but I have to say that the script somehow failed to fully sink its hook in me and reel me in. Sure, the movie was watchable, but I was sitting with an overshadowing sense of 'pick up the pace and throw in something exciting' throughout the course of the 96 minutes that the movie ran for.

It definitely was nice to see Melanie Scrofano and Tim Rozon reprising their roles of Wynonna Earp and John Henry 'Doc' Holliday respectively. And they do carry the movie quite nicely. And I have to say that it was a treat to have the witty banter between Wynonna and Doc on the screen again. There is a great chemistry between Melanie Scrofano and Tim Rozon.

Sure, "Wynonna Earp: Vengeance" was watchable and enjoyable, especially if you enjoyed the series. But there was just something crucial missing from this 2024 movie.

My rating of director Paolo Barzman's 2024 movie lands on a five out of ten stars.

I love Wynonna Earp and the surrounding characters. I watched the finale and loved it. This feature had no pizazz or comedy. The humor was non existent. The plot was terrible. Everything fell flat on its face. It's like the people that wrote this had never seen an episode of Wynonna Earp. I am going to consider this as if had never happened. I have the entire show on dvd so that's all I'll ever need.

They could have come up with a hundred different scenarios that would have been more entertaining than this. Hell, I would have liked seeing Bobo again back for revenge.

It was nice seeing the characters back together that's for sure but come up something more substantial. I was just plain disappointed.

Wynonna Earp: Vengeance delivered everything I missed about the show and then some. The heart, the humor, the action, the emotion-it was all there and true to the spirit of the series. Every character felt like coming home, and the cast's chemistry hasn't missed a beat.

Melanie Scrofano shines as always, bringing both grit and vulnerability to Wynonna. The stunts (CSA-winning, and rightfully so!) were next-level. The writing was sharp, emotional, and funny-exactly what makes this show special. And the love? Still the beating heart of it all.

Vengeance reminds us why this story, and this fandom, matter so much. Here's hoping it's not the last ride. Looking at you, Tubi!

This movie is a continuation of this world and was also a gift to the most supportive fandom ,but is great as a stand alone . I would highly recommend going back and watching all four seasons where you will fall in love with these characters & really understand this crazy world of Earp . This franchise has created a world where everyone is welcome which is also a theme in the show . A world where the heroes and heroines may not look like your traditional type but will steal your heart while you cheer them on . This movie just won 7 Canadian screen awards including best writing , best actress and Best Movie !

I loved the show, but this is not a good movie.

The pacing is all over the place, mostly rushing from one plot point to another without hitting any of the emotional notes in between.

The plot itself is.. meh. It has some promise, but feels underdeveloped and - again - rushed.

The plot holes are numerous, the dialog is poor (the usually sassy, snazzy quipping is now mostly one-note crude), and even the acting is pretty bad. Which is weird as we know the actors are more than capable.

The special effects range from ok to awful, and I can't even grasp what they were going for with the "hellhounds". Community Theatre vibes maybe?

But most of all, the characters feel off and although emotional stakes are mentioned they don't actually _feel_ emotional.
