Initial thoughts re: the Stranger Things finale, no spoilers...
It's fine. It puts a nice bow on the personal and interpersonal threads of all of the main characters, and frames the surrounding events in a very ✨️cinematic✨️ way.
But not everything works for me and there are loose ends??

I’ve got a 2026 resolution for some people.
Stop saying that you don’t consider that horror movie you liked “horror”.
Weapons is horror. Sinners is horror. The Substance is horror. Hereditary is horror. It is okay to admit you enjoyed a horror film, you pretentious prick.

Probably not a huge surprise, but Weapons is a great film. Not only is it a legitimate gateway horror, it's a unique multigenre project with excellent moments of suspense and, of course, Amy Madigan.

This sequel is quite a different beast than The Black Phone, both tonally and conceptually. The snowy, isolated camp setting pairs excellently with the Nightmare on Elm Street-influenced premise and an icy Grabber.

This is a taut, innovative serial killer thriller, featuring a very interesting concept which director Sean Byrne executes with fervor. Jai Courtney is brilliant and generates so much expert-level suspense.

Going into this movie with zero knowledge of the plot is best. The twist is great and the ensuing chaos is paced and structured very well. Sophie Thatcher excels in, arguably, her best role, and Jack Quaid is a gem.

So far, pretty good. Of course the latest episode is basically a whole bunch of setup for the finale, but that's to be expected from the grossly overproduced cinematic product that Stranger Things now is.
That being said... I look forward to seeing this journey out to its epic conclusion.
