Reviews

Shevenge received generally mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 4.5/10, reflecting a polarized reception. Some reviewers praised Vanessa Gomez's charismatic performance and the film's attempts at blending humor and action in a uniquely Filipino style. However, many critics pointed out uneven pacing and a lack of depth in storytelling, which detracted from the film’s overall impact. According to audience comments on platforms like IMDb, while the film offers entertaining moments, it struggles with coherence and consistency in tone. The action choreography was noted to be enthusiastic but occasionally over-the-top to the point of distraction. Reviewers from local media appreciated the film's creative effort to fuse comedy with a revenge plot but felt it fell short of delivering a memorable cinematic experience. Overall, Shevenge is seen as a niche comedy-action movie that might appeal to fans of genre parodies but may frustrate viewers seeking a tightly crafted revenge thriller.
