Well I thought the last one was slow and uninspired. Nothing really happening in it and the ending was bland. It's sad that the puppets looked better in the older films. They remind me of papermashie here.

I only like PM 1-5. For me that's where the series ended.

For the most part yes. Some of their new films have been ok. Killjoy 3 was one of the biggest surprises for me. The other two films were a steaming pile of shit, but the new one was actually entertaining. Now they've got Killjoy Goes to Hell coming out which I'm hoping stays as fun as the third.

Killjoy Goes to Hell is indeed a fun time.

The reviews from Full Moon fans are pretty stellar. Killjoy 3 was a surprising step up.

IMO you have to see the first two films first before you can truly appreciate Killjoy 3 and Killjoy Goes to Hell.

You probably shouldn't wish the first two films on anyone. It's a little cruel

I get what you mean though. Killjoy 3 probably isn't that impressive if you've never seen the shit-fests that came before it.

I think it's a good bad movie regardless.

I'm looking forward to seeing KGTH now.

The first Killjoy was without a doubt the single worst Full Moon film I've ever seen, thus I haven't watched any of the sequels.

The "sequel" trailers do look better though, so I might be up for watching them sometime.

It's pretty bad They redeemed themselves with the third film thankfully.

Well there was a long gap between 2 and 3. I guess Full Moon wanted to try again with the series and actually hired someone this time who could direct.

Dropping the urban setting and characters was a smart move and actually giving Killjoy some beefy screentime (it took too long to show him in the first two films).

I actually wish 3 & 4 would have rebooted the series. But they had to mention the events of the first film (2 is ignored).

I don't think directing was ever the issue in the first two films. It certainly had more to do with story and script. We had to watch these boring urban characters for about 40 minutes until we finally get Killjoy doing stuff. I didn't mind him in the first film but why should I have to wait so long for anything to happen? I went into the film for a killer clown, that's what I want from the start. It just makes you feel ripped off.
