Really great movie which was fun. I didn't feel the dark gritty Predator vibes going on here, from the original movies. The new spin is very more PG. Some monsters look like they came from Fantastic Beasts... but, eitherway, great VFX, action scenes and I liked Elle's take on the character(s). Hope they can build further on it, but could be a bit more darker.
I love Tron, and was eagerly anticipating the next installment. Saw it in IMAX, and felt every beat and bass through my core, of possibly the coolest soundtrack since Fight Club. Visually insane! The sets, the VFX, the design,... loved it!
But, the story is like a bed night-story. Very thin, with not much character development, which leaves some of the amazing actors left with whatever they can do of a lazy script. The amount of plot holes were just getting annoying. It missed soul and a decent plot. But, would still recommend to watch it in the cinema, if you are interested to do so. Even for the visuals and sound, you are in for a treat!

I have read a few reviews of people and a lot of people complain about the approach of making this series, as too fictional and not much accuracy. Well, this is Ryan Murphy... we all know by now, this ain't a docu series and his approach is more vulgar, loud, dramatic and often sexual.
For me the faults lay more into the stories, which getting very muddled halfway the season. I can't understand anymore what Murphy wants to feed us as a true story, and what is not. More specific the love story and Ed Gein's love interest perception on him. I feel it starts more to feel as series filler story, as we need to get to 8 episodes. It looses it's tenacity. This season probably could have been told in maximum 6 episodes, and this should be more the approach. Sometimes there is more to tell, than other "Monster" stories. That been said, the acting performances, set design, world creation, costumes, cinematography,... are all on point again. It is a series which is hard too binge watch, as it is a lot too swallow. But if you are new to the series, try to approach it on a more fictional level.
