I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.

As for its box office? That depends. It’s R-rated and the literal ninth movie in the franchise, so we’ll see what sort of draw it is. Critical acclaim is not the giant box office indicator you may think, and it’s going to have to do well through word of mouth. This is also the second weekend of It Ends with Us, the blockbuster Blake Lively feature, and I expect that may be strong enough to hold on to the number one spot.
I’ll see it tomorrow and report back if it’s as good as critics claim, and now I’m looking forward to it.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations. We want our readers to share their views and exchange ideas and facts in a safe space.
