Just how dire is Hollywood’s dependence on intellectual property? The “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie wasn’t even this week’s most desperate attempt to bring an old brand into multiplexes. Not that rebooting ABC’s “Fantasy Island” for the big screen was an inherently bad idea — the 1977 television show’s “‘Twilight Zone’ in paradise” vibe is always sunny and evergreen — but there’s a real whiff of desperation to the way that Blumhouse has dusted it off, and this slapdash programmer is such a complete shrug of a movie that it feels almost defiantly apathetic from the moment it starts. Dumb in ways that range from inane to insulting, but always growing duller by the minute, this new “Fantasy Island” is only…

Mr. Roarke: "The problem with having it all is that usually someone else wants it to.”
SYNOPSIS: When the owner and operator of a luxurious island invites a collection of guests to live out their most elaborate fantasies in relative seclusion, chaos quickly descends.
My fantasy is for Jeff Wadlow to one day direct a horror film that is actually halfway decent, but hey, considering this film made more than 6x than that of its production budget, it must be doing something right, right? Wrong. Although there is…

Just abysmal.
It’s not worth putting in the energy to critique this because it’s so apparent that minimal energy was put into its own creation, but the detail I cannot get off my mind is that there’s a man in this movie whose GREATEST, UNRESTRICTED FANTASY was to join the military.

this is like lost for dumb people
Review by Tony the Terror😼🏳️‍🌈 👻 ★★★★ 29

I went to see a movie in the theater y’all! That’s all thanks to Parker Brennon for getting me to be social and I hope it’s the first of many movie dates! And I loved this! I dunno, maybe I just lack the analytical movie critiquing skills to give an appropriate review, but from a purely entertainment standpoint I really really enjoyed it!
I don’t even get all the negativity and I’m not sure if it’s because other people are too harsh or because I’m not harsh enough and it doesn’t matter because I’m just glad I got to see a fun movie on the big screen. It’s totally ridiculous and doesn’t really make a single lick of sense if you think…

FANTASIES RARELY PLAY OUT AS YOU OR I MIGHT EXPECT. BUT THEY ALWAYS PLAY OUT EXACTLY AS THEY SHOULD...
PROS:
~Maggie Q. makes a respectable effort as a desperate woman who desires the life she never had. Sure, her storyline is kind of cliche but you feel for her through the film. Besides this, the interaction between Lucy Hale and Portia Doubleday is an interesting aspect of the movie to a certain extent.
CONS:
~The mystery element of the island isn't properly explained. Only one fantasy is supposed to be satisfied but some characters conveniently break the rules. Furthermore, why do the different fantasies intersect each other and what are the overall qualities of the island?
~The ending twist makes…

It is easily the biggest “oof” of 2020. Not that this was expected to be great; but being something Blumhouse has been marketing like crazy should have meant better things were in store. Lucy Hale just hasn’t done it for me thus far in her career. From Truth or Dare, to her awkward New Years Eve presence; I’m starting to think it just isn’t going to happen. To make matters even worse; the character she plays is so poorly written. Every character falls into a trope, a cliché category, or they just come off as a complete imbecile. The four story threads interweave in the opposite of a seamless way. Timelines…

lucy hale is a menace to society
Review by ramonsoo ★½

Nah, malísima. Te ves el tráiler y parece que va a ser buena pero es que el entramado de plot twist y traiciones que hay es lamentable. Nada tiene lo más mínimo de sentido y aparecen cosas random como zombies, piedras mágicas y mierda por la puta cara.
Review by Shakti Krishnan ★

WHATS GOING ON?
The worst character by far is the magical Fantasy Island™️ whose magic is unexplainable and incoherent.
All its twists contradict eachother so hard, by the last 20 minutes I wasn't really invested.
Not worth the watch

If “Eh” Was a Movie
This movie is not good, but it’s not bad. It’s not interesting at all, but it’s not complete garbage. It’s the most middle thing I have ever seen.

Review by Dan Kawecki ★★

This film wasn't good. It's full of plot holes, there are exactly zero scares (even the jump scares are unimpressive), and the characters are beyond dumb. That said, I wasn't bored, even if all I was doing was being snarky at the stupidity of it all.

i wanna stop living in a world where lucy hale is always the main character
Review by Kathryn ★★

Favourite characters were those models who locked themselves in the panic room. Were they real? Were they part of the fantasy? What were their motives? Whatever, they're my kind of guys.
