Shortcut (II) (2020)
4/10
Can a movie be both really bad and kinda good?
30 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The major problems in this movie are the cheesy ending and beginning and the characters. 3 annoying AF characters, 2 bland characters. All stereotypes: the fat loser, the glasses- wearing nerd, the artist, the hot bad boy, the guy who's got a crush on one of the girls but has no real personality and is somehow the lead. I was getting irritated fast.

The lack of imagination they put into the characters, they put into the creature lore. That was insanely well done. The way they defeated him was also well done. I loved that part.

This movie just had me irritated at times. Especially with the shoehorned obnoxious (and somehow humorous) bad guy who takes them hostage. There was a trap, leading them on a shortcut. They come across another trap. Why was there the need for the second trap/ bad guy?

Additionally, what trip were they taking?? Where were they going?? What did the eclipse have to do with it really? What class is just 5 people? And they are so diverse these kids would never get along in real life. Adults need to stop writing teens if they can't comprehend what they are like.
