MaXXXine | July 5, 2024 | A24 | The next follow-up to the movies X and Pearl

[Mad Max007]

Pearl was Joker for a lot of women. I see this doing even better.

This movie is a porn parody, so I was expecting cheap looking posters.

So there was a surprise screening of MaXXXine at  the double X/Pearl event (Pearl didn't happen), all reactions are positive with some mixed ones, stating that they liked two previous films more

What if I had never seen the previous films and went to this screening to watch them before the third one, then what?

Then you are still fine cuz Maxxxine is continuation of X and they showed that movie before screening M.

But  I get that some fans were a bit bummed

I didn't like X at all, but I liked Pearls a lot. Pretty curious to see how it goes with this one.

[Krissykins]

I adored X and liked Pearl. 
 

Dying to see this, I booked a secret screening so I’m hoping it’s this.

As big fan of X and Pearl this was my least favourite of the three. PM me if you have questions.

The rankings are somewhat irrelevant imo since the movies seems very different.
 

Is it good?

It's ok. Pearl was a character study. this is more plot driven. It stumbles when it comes to plot, twists and police investigations. the 80s video nasty era isn't that fresh either. I'm sure people will be screaming how amazing it is on twitter but I felt the runtime on this one.

Hated the last two but I’m so excited for this. Love how unapologetically camp the whole thing looks, and I feel like I could watch gorgeous women in fashion from the 80’s for hours so maybe this is just catnip for me haha

I equally liked X and Pearl but if I had to say which is my favorite I would say is X.

 

Let's see where Maxxxine lands.

That is….interesting. 

It must be nice to be excited for a threequel to two films you hated. 

[Insomnia]

I know this is asking a lot but....

 

Is there even a slight chance this beats Civil War for A24's biggest opening? It seems buzzy.

[Flopped]

I agree with it being "just ok"
