Describe the setting (time and place) :

Hawkins, March 1986

Briefly summarize the plot :

 

Tells the story of the continuation of the collapse of a large mall in Hawkins caused by a terrible minster who turned out to be Russian. A monster that turned out to be developed from the research place of American scientists who have direct relationships with other parties related to the research of this terrible monster.

In season 4 it is described and the origin of the terrible monster is known. One by one the victims fell, died unnaturally until the teenagers at Hawkins who had visited upside down felt something odd, not about an ordinary murder case but this was the work of a scary monster who entered his mind and kidnapped him to another world, namely upside down.

It starts with a scene where the girl becomes a victim of Vecna, a terrible monster that takes victims one by one to destroy us, then Eddie, a teenager who often sells drugs, becomes one of the suspects even though he is the only person who saw the terrible incident. HAwkis squad believes in the terrible thing trying to contact El who has moved to another city for help..

Scenes I liked best in the movie :

 

1 In the scene where El begins to be confident in her decision and is determined to get out of Nina Project which belongs to Dr. Brenner that has been exploiting her all this time, El is firmly determined to go and eliminate anyone who stands in his way and with that determination, she can restore her superpower.

2. When the Hawkins Squad unite together to plan to destroy Vecna and save the entire city, they bravely and brilliantly brainstorm plans so well.

Scenes that I did not like :

 

When Lucas's basketball buddy Jason slanders Eddie and makes a pointless oration to stereotype Eddie as a murderer, it nearly thwarts the Hawkins Squad's plans to destroy Vecna.

Outstanding individual performances :

 

1.      When Max manages to fight the evil forces of Vecna and manages to get out of the cage that should have eaten her alive, thanks to Kate Blush's song, her wakes up and has the strength to escape from destruction.

Performances that were not so good :

 

When Vecna ate the students to make him strong and when he let El see his evil in front of her eyes

What was believable about the movie?

 

About cooperation, love, hope and a despair from each individual but can be dominated by happiness if we have good friends to fight from scary things together. 

Would you recommend that your readers see this movie? Why or why not?

 

I highly recommend it because this film picks up a story that is rich in meaning, about friendship, love, loyalty, family. The setting is extremely good,  acting was on point, it just all perfect.
