Magic Mike: El Último Baile

My wife and I saw this on opening night at the movie theater. Surprisingly, it was a decent crowd with mainly couples. The beginning was o'k , the ending was pretty good but the middle was absolutely borrrring!!!! It will almost put you to sleep. There was no chemistry , no character development and not much going on. Unlike the first two , Mike had rapport with his dance partners , this one had nothing. The dance partners were too old to be a stripping act so that would not work, but they could have come up with something better. This will probably be the end of this one, as I'm assuming this is going to get a thumbs down - all the way around.

This was supposed to go out with a bang. But it's fell way off the mark.

I know the original dancers were older now but i think they could've worked them in some how. This film just feels forced.

Salma Hayek plays a woman who probably didn't have much money of her own and was able to sway a wealthy British man with her physical assets and marry him, only to divorce him and come out of it with a big paycheck for herself. She's obviously a woman who never wants for anything and is extremely privileged and bored. So now her latest passion project is this "last show" for Mike. She's also a woman with huge self-esteem issues and likes to put words in peoples mouth in order to gaslight them into thinking they're saying something offensive to her. Hayek's acting just wasn't good in this. And honestly her character was annoying and took away from the film.

To put a cherry on top we're also forced to contend with a spoiled, entitled, wise cracking and stereotypical modern teenager who tries to come off as deep and philosophical with the intermittent narration of the ideology of dance. While this character isn't the worst in this film (Hyek's character is), it definitely doesn't add to the story.

In summary, the whole movie just didn't have the same energy or direction as the first two. It seems like this was a cash grab with aim of maximizing profits off of the Magic Mike name and franchise. I really thought this movie was going to be good. But we're just left with a product that was rushed and lazily written.

I went to see this film with my family. This movie almost commits the unpardonable sin of being dull.

This time "Magic" Mike is a bartender at a wealthy woman's mansion in Miami. After giving her a lap dance, she invites Mike to visit England and turn her ex-husband's theater into a burlesque show. She wants revenge on her husband and thinks this will be sweet vengeance. Why? Who knows, and by the time the film is over, who cares?

The problem with this movie is it is cold and emotionless.

The bigger problem is there is no chemistry between Salma Hayek and Channing Tatum. That ruins the film.

The idea that Salma wants revenge on her husband by turning the upper-crust theater owned by her husband makes me think that this movie would have been better with Joan Collins as the female lead. Is Magic Mike: The Last Dance the film Joan Collins never starred in?

Greetings, my fellow film enthusiasts. It's time to crack open a cold one and dive headfirst into the world of Magic Mike's Last Dance. Buckle up, folks, because we're in for a bumpy ride.

Let's start with the positives, shall we? The feminist edge to the story is a breath of fresh air. It's great to see female characters taking the lead in a traditionally male-dominated genre. The chemistry between Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek is undeniable, and they make for a compelling on-screen duo. The movie's opening scene is also quite the seduction, leaving viewers wanting more. It's a great way to hook in the audience.

However, this is where the praise ends. Unfortunately, Magic Mike's Last Dance is nothing but a cash grab that lacks purpose and direction. The film fails to capture the raw, seductive energy of its predecessor, leaving audiences underwhelmed. The characters are flat, and the plot is meandering, which makes it feel like the filmmakers didn't have a clear idea of where they were taking the story.

Furthermore, the movie's attempt at humor falls flat, with jokes that often feel forced or just plain cringe-worthy. It's like they were trying too hard to recapture the lightning in a bottle that was the original Magic Mike, and it just didn't work. In the end, the film feels like a cheap imitation of its former self.

In conclusion, Magic Mike's Last Dance is a disappointing sequel that fails to live up to its predecessor. While the feminist edge and chemistry between the leads are commendable, the lack of direction, flat characters, and forced humor make it a forgettable film. Save your money and watch the original instead.

Oh my, this is an AWFUL movie. I love Salma Hayek but even she can't rescue this stinker! The "narration" is dreadful. The plot is ridiculous--even for this type of movie, and boring. The characters are very poorly developed. The dynamic tension between the leads is not believable. A few of the dance numbers were pretty good but it's a long movie to watch for a few minutes of dancing. It just CANNOT BE that this was directed by Steven Soderbergh. Didn't he notice how stupid and disjointed this was? It leaves a stink on everyone involved. This review needs another 30 characters but how many ways are there to say--don't waste your time on this stupid bad movie!
