I finally got around to finishing this movie in preparation for the event. I've seen almost every movie an HHN maze has been based on prior to the event (with the exception of Dracula: Untold, which still puts me to sleep to this day, and I honestly don't think I'll ever finish but hey, the maze was great). I figured I couldn't let the "haven't seen" record go any higher than just the 1, so I pushed through Frozen Empire. After 3 tries, I finally successfully completed the movie (walked out in theaters the first time about 35 minutes in, watched it on the high seas up until 58 minutes and gave up again, then finally completed the last hour just now on Netflix with the assist of 1.5x speed for the climax because I just couldn't take it anymore).
I gotta say, this is genuinely the worst movie an HHN maze has been based on lol I am including the sequels smashed into compilation mazes, like some of the crappy Jason and Freddy sequels. I would consider the film "Leatherface" to be the worst, but since it's just a character in the TCM maze and the film itself isn't being replicated, that one is skating by on a technicality. The first 2 Ghostbusters films are obviously great, but just didn't make a good maze, so my hope here is obviously bad-movie-into-good-maze. I really didn't think my expectations could get any lower for this one, but low and behold, they did. Saw the preview pix and it's not helping either.
My anticipation is very low and I almost wish I didn't finish the movie before so I could at the very least be surprised lol. Less than a week away, so we shall see how this goes.
