© Blumhouse Five Nights at Freddy’s is one of the few video game adaptations that has a fanbase which completely adores their franchise. The one theatrical experience with Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 has highlighted that these movies feel like event films for them despite it being the complete opposite and not giving that effect for the general audience. The first movie didn’t offer much for newcomers, as it spent the majority of its runtime with a dull storyline, weak jump scares and good performances that only came from the kids. Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 releases 2 years later, and despite Blumhouse telling audiences they’ll be improving on the sequel by taking on the constructive criticism, this sequel lacks what any true sequel needs, and that’s a solid script with high stakes, performances that outdo the predecessor and production on a scale that highlights they’re going bolder, bigger and better. Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 only manages to get one of these aspects right for this sequel, and unfortunately, that’s not enough to consider this a movie worth watching for regular moviegoers. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 takes place a year after the events of the last movie. Abbie (Piper Rubio), Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) return as a new animatronic from Freddy Fazbear’s original location threatens to disturb their peace and enact their revenge. The movie opens up with a flashback in 1982 as we get to witness the horrific death of Charlotte (Audrey Lynn Marie) in the original Freddy Fazbear's location. This scene easily stands out among the rest of the movie, as it gives extensive detail into the operations behind a Fazbear location and showcases William Afton (Matthew Lillard) in action as he tries to snatch a kid away during a busy day at the pizzeria. For an odd reason, Emma Tammi, Scott Cawthon and Blumhouse have decided to cater this movie solely to the fans of the game, without any consideration for the general audience. Five Nights at Freddy's 2  © Universal Pictures While that's always a must with an adaptation, you must also cater for the audience that has no clue what the IP is. While the first movie lacked an engaging story and did poorly at injecting its lore into movie format, the second film does a better job of actually allowing audiences to better understand what took place within the pizzeria all those years ago and the overall world of Five Nights at Freddy's . Unfortunately, Five Nights At Freddy's 2 gets carried away with catering to its fans by leaving references around every corner and forgetting that to have a good movie, you first need at least a coherent story. Admittedly, this movie is a lot more fun and entertaining than its predecessor, which failed in almost every aspect. Five Nights At Freddy's 2 does a decent job of at least providing general audiences with a fun time, but that's about all it provides. This sequel may be underwhelming, but just like the first movie, Jim Henson's Creature Shop deserves all the praise for their work on the animatronics. We get new sleek, metallic animatronics this time around to fit the "toy" designs of Freddy (Kellen Goff), Chica (Megan Fox), Foxy aka Mangle and Bonnie (Matthew 'MatPat' Patrick), which look magnificent during every second they appear in the film. With their inclusion also comes the "withered" versions of Freddy, Chica, Foxy and Bonnie, which were animatronics used for spare parts that look creepier than anything seen before in this franchise and truly add to the horror aspect of the movie, delivering one of the greatest scenes of the two films. Outside of the outstanding work that Jim Henson's Creature Shop provides to this sequel and the eerie, 8-bit score that's composed by The Newton Brothers, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 doesn't offer anything else that's worth praising. The performances from our three main characters somehow feel worse than when we last got to watch them, and it's clear that it's the script and its writing which are failing them in a lot of areas. Scott Cawthon may be the creator of these games, but this movie is clear proof that sometimes, as a creator, you don't need to get closely involved in everything that involves your IP, and working from behind the scenes is better. He's not a movie writer, and it's evident from the incoherent and convoluted story, the rushed third act that doesn't feel rewarding with an anticlimactic ending, and dialogue that's beyond questionable. Five Nights at Freddy's 2  © Universal Pictures There are way more jumpscares in the film, but as we know with horror movies, inserting a lot of jumpscares doesn't suddenly make a good horror film and instead makes it rather boring. There was only one instance where a jump scare might've genuinely got me, which involved the creepy Marionette, which was one of the few highlights of this movie with how it possessed people, leading them to horrifying performances by Mackenna Grace and the few others who also got possessed in the movie. Grace rarely appears in the film, but she's one of the standouts with the short screentime she has alongside Megan Fox. If you're unfamiliar with Megan Fox's previous voice work, then quickly go watch a cutscene of Nitara speaking from Mortal Kombat 1. This abysmal voice acting led people to originally laugh at this casting, but Megan Fox is the one laughing now as she delivers a sinister performance as Toy Chica that almost carries Five Nights at Freddy's 2 but isn't anywhere near enough to trick you into believing that this is a good movie. As mentioned previously, one of the greatest scenes from the movie comes from Mike in a security room as he tries to disable the "toy" animatronics from causing chaos on the streets while the "withered" animatronics attempt to stop him. Unlike the first movie, which just featured Mike sleeping on the job, this scene recreates the point-and-click gameplay of the early Five Nights at Freddy's games and mechanics, specifically from its second game. Yet another moment for fans to point at the screen and scream, but it's a scene that feels earned and serves a purpose in the story despite being a way to cram Easter eggs down the audience's throat. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 , while slightly better than its predecessor due to its small entertaining factor, regresses in almost every other way possible. Emma Tammi and Scott Cawthon lose sight of what makes a great horror movie and how to adapt a video game, going back on all the fantastic work that other video game adaptations have worked hard towards. The actors are left with a weak and shallow script that hinders their performances, and while Jim Henson's Creature Shop continues to deliver phenomenal work on the animatronics by bringing them to life, they're massively underutilised in the movie when it comes to delivering a hardcore scare to its audience. The movie might be a PG-13 in America, which isn't any excuse for it to be as tame and bland as it is, but with the film having a 15 rating in the UK, it only makes the entire experience worse as you wait for gruesome kills to arrive, and they all happen off-screen with not a single spill of blood seen. There's more blood in a Marvel movie than there is in Five Nights at Freddy's 2, and for a film that's about a serial killer and the dead kids who possess animatronics going on a revenge spree, there should at least be a pint of blood spilt in these movies. Blumhouse has clear plans to continue this franchise with how the movie ends and its teases with the mid-credit scene and audio tease during the credits, but the best plan of action for this franchise is to either make them R-rated and go all out or sit back for 3-4 years, make a reboot in the form of an animated R-rated television show, and tell the story of Five Nights at Freddy's without catering to the fans with dozens of Easter eggs to keep their attention. There's a way to give the fans what they want ( Sonic the Hedgehog ), and this isn't it.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair © Lionsgate Audiences around the world had to view The Bride's (Uma Thurman) epic samurai-kung fu revenge story in two parts, Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2 , which originally were released six months apart. Two movies that felt drastically different from each other, and while people always had the chance to play both films back to back, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair offers a definitive viewing experience, as you get to see stories for the first time that Quentin Tarantino never had the opportunity to originally show. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair was first shown to people at Cannes in 2006, but it has now received a worldwide release, which includes the Production IG anime sequence and Tarantino's "The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge," a short created by Epic Games and The Third Floor in collaboration with Fortnite . It's the complete package that no one has been able to view until now, and it was completely worth the wait. Quentin Tarantino has always stated that Kill Bill was always one movie, so unfortunately, this doesn't count as his tenth and final film, and neither does " The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge, " but after viewing Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair , it's understandable why Tarantino originally wanted it as one movie. For those unfamiliar with the story of Kill Bill , it follows a woman called Beatrix Kiddo, aka The Bride, aka Black Mamba, aka many other names, who was once a part of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad run by Bill (David Carradine) but left to have a sweet and private life with her unborn daughter. Her wedding gets interrupted by Bill, with the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad slaughtering everyone at the wedding rehearsal, but unfortunately for them, the Bride survived, and after waking up from a four-year coma, she sets herself on a bloody and violent path of revenge for the death of her unborn daughter. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair © Lionsgate The most noticeable addition is that the Bride vs Crazy 88 is no longer in black and white, which was originally decided to stop the movie from receiving an NC-17 rating due to its intense and gory violence. Now you can witness it colourised and see the Bride in her iconic yellow biker jumpsuit covered in the blood of the Crazy 88 as she slices them down with her Hattori Hanzo (Sonny Chiba) sword. It's a minor change, but it really brings the intensity of the movie together and brings to life the brutality that Quentin Tarantino originally had in mind for the sequence. A very major change which was smartly edited for audiences who have never viewed Kill Bill before was the cliffhanger that appears at the end of Kill Bill: Volume 1 . That final line is removed from Bill, and instead the reveal is kept for the end of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair , making for what easily could be one of the best plot twists in cinema history if that's your first time viewing the movie. It allows fans of Kill Bill to have a whole new experience with the story while also making way for newcomers and allowing the mystery surrounding the Bride's history to linger just a little bit longer. In addition are two animated sequences, one by Production IG that expands the world and another by Epic Games and The Third Floor, which, truthfully speaking, wouldn't be missed but still remains an interesting addition. The Production IG animated sequence, which is seen for the first time, features the backstory of O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu), and it plays as the Bride tries to wiggle her big toe and before the start of the next chapter, which sees the Bride off to Japan to meet Hattori Hanzo. This specific backstory might be as gruesome as the entirety of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair gets, and due to it being animated, they can get away with that. It's a backstory that fleshes out the character of O-Ren Ishii and allows for the audience to connect with a character that was originally thought to be heartless and ruthless, and while Lucy Liu very much still remains that with the character, this animated sequence finally gives a reason for why she is the way she is, and it's a tragic and devastating story. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair © Lionsgate When Quentin Tarantino was first writing Kill Bill , it originally featured a scene that involved Gogo Yubari's (Chiaki Kuriyama) sister coming for revenge after the Bride killed her, and this scene would've taken place in California after Copperhead (Vivica A. Fox) had been killed. It was a scene that was cut because they couldn't afford to do another grand action sequence, and this is evident from the lack of action sequences in Kill Bill: Volume 2 , which is a bit more tame compared to its first volume. Tarantino and Uma Thurman have collaborated with Fortnite to bring this lost chapter to life, and unexpectedly, after having its premiere in-game, it also appears at the end of the movie. It's understandable why it was removed from the original draft, as it doesn't really add much to the Bride's journey and is just yet another inconvenience that feels detached from the overall story, but I think what's interesting from this entire collaboration is seeing how Epic Games can unite with filmmakers to bring to life their movies in ways that they haven't been able to before. It's filled with Fortnite gags but still feels like Kill Bill in nature with Tarantino's direction. However, if you're not a gamer or not too familiar with Fortnite , you might be confused with what's on the screen. Either way, I'd rather have a future of Epic Games providing these opportunities for filmmakers through the use of Fortnite than have certain corporations restrict filmmakers from theatrical use and limit them about what they can do. Overall, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is the definitive viewing experience for fans of Kill Bill and newcomers alike. It still stands as one of Tarantino's best pieces of work, and getting to view it as he intended honestly feels like an honour. It's slightly reedited to recontextualise cliffhangers and insert them as plot twists that allow audiences to connect with the Bride in the final chapter and understand her feelings in that very moment as we witness an ending that's more emotional than it ever has been before. It's the complete package with blood and guts, an iconic yellow jumpsuit, animated mayhem and a swift 4 hours and a half of pure, sweet revenge.

Ultimate Wolverine #12 © Marvel Wolverine’s journey through the Ultimate Universe has been a long and brutal one, and for readers, it’s been just as bloody. We’ve come a long way from Logan’s days as the Winter Soldier of the Eurasian Republic, and each step has brought him closer to becoming the man known as the  Wolverine. Unfortunately, that path of self-discovery has cost him the people he cherished the most. The Ultimate Universe is an unforgiving place, and Ultimate Wolverine  #12 is no exception. Logan has witnessed more death than most can fathom - so much that his life feels like a waking nightmare - yet he’s never been one to cower. This issue sees him returning to where it all began, seeking vengeance on those who manipulated him and those who murdered his friends. His return to the Eurasian Republic isn’t flashy, but it spells trouble for Doctor Alonya Prostovich, the head of Directorate X, whose exploitation of mutants and role as Logan’s former handler still cast a long shadow. Ultimate Wolverine #12 © Marvel Even with Sentinels guarding her, Logan’s relentlessness carries him straight to Prostovich, and his intentions go beyond simple retribution. Logan seems aware of the Phoenix specimen she’s been studying, suggesting that it may be one of the driving forces behind his return. Either way, once the Wolverine sets his sights on a mission, Prostovich has no leverage, and she quickly becomes entangled in whatever plans he has for her and for the Phoenix. Matters escalate further when the Rasputins get wind of the situation, setting the stage for a long-overdue confrontation among several of the series’ major mutant players. Condon delivers once again, offering a chilling look into Logan’s psyche while exposing the rot at the heart of the Eurasian Republic and its leadership. Cappuccio’s gritty artwork fits the narrative perfectly, capturing the cold, bleak atmosphere when necessary and shifting to something more explosive when the story demands it. Among the current Ultimate titles, this remains one of my clear favorites. I’ll admit I was worried this run might slip into the familiar Wolverine tropes we’ve seen for decades, and while it echoes them in a few ways, it works. Condon’s bleak, dystopian vision of the Eurasian Republic and the mutant struggle grounds those themes in a fresh and compelling context. Making heroes into villains tilts the narrative in interesting directions, and the Ultimate Universe is uniquely suited for a story this dark and personal. We’re heading into the endgame now, and I’m excited -maybe even a little nervous - to see what’s in store next, for better or worse, for our heroes. Ultimate Wolverine #12 © Marvel About Ultimate Wolverine #12 Release Date:  December 10, 2025 Written by:  Christopher Condon Art by: Alessandro Cappuccio Cover by: Alessandro Cappuccio Page Count: 31 Synopsis :  WOLVERINE'S ATTACK ON THE EURASIAN CAPITAL! After the devastation in ULTIMATE WOLVERINE #11, Wolverine is out for vengeance! And he's taking on the whole of the Eurasian Republic in this big, bad and bloody climactic issue…who will be left standing?
