Magic Mike's Last Dance hit the theatres this February, bringing an end to the steamy dance trilogy.

The final installment of the comedy-drama sees Channing Tatum reprise his popular role, with Salma Hayek Pinault starring opposite. The closing story sees Mike as a retired male stripper who leaves Florida to go to London with socialite Maxandra. The goal? To produce the raunchiest stage play in history, of course.

For some fans, the film is seeming to be an abs-olute hit, whilst other viewers were disappointed with the direction it took from the series' second installment, Magic Mike XXL. Here's what viewers had to say...
1.The gif says it all. Flustered much?
Back from watching #MagicMikesLastDance
2.This fan thinks the first two films had better energy. Would you agree?
Kinda mixed on #MagicMikesLastDance. Tatum and Hayek Pinault have ok chemistry and the dance sequences are pretty fun. However, it lacks the compelling spark or fun energy of the first two films. Supporting cast is forgettable and the ending is anticlimactic. Coulda been better. https://t.co/ZuSbGp960P
3.It's all in the one song for this fan:
#MagicMikesLastDance plays Suavemente. If you’re wondering why I gave it five stars.
4.Can all review criteria be broken down into these categories please?!
Lunch & Magic Mike today with my #BFF!Storyline: 9Selma's Passion: 10 Gawk Level: 10How cute is Channing: 10Dance Expertise: 10Fun: 10Everyone.........go!#MagicMikesLastDance @channingtatum
5.I agree that this movie probably didn't need to exist, but the dance sequence on the double-decker bus really did:
#MagicMikesLastDance has no real plot, no character development, several shots of cheesy souvenirs from London, and a dance sequence on a double-decker bus. I'm very confused as to why this movie needed to exist. 😄 Y'know, apart from showing a man tearing off his shirt, that is.
6.Good vibes all round:
In additional post thoughts after @magicmikemovie #MagicMikesLastDance... it tapped into the retired dancer/stripper from a former life and made me want to bust out those old moves again. Just good vibes! Go enjoy the film with friends! A Perfect Date Night Movie! #NRW @TheNRW
7.XXL is definitely my favourite of the Magic Mike films, too!
Enjoyed Magic Mikes Last Dance, despite most of the guys wearing jeans the whole time … Salma was 🔥 and thrilled @JoeManganiello secured Bubbles a cameo. Still think XXL is my favorite though.
8.This viewer didn't shy away from providing an honest and bad review of the film:
Though #SalmaHayek and #ChanningTatum are charming and a wonderful pair, #MagicMikesLastDance is an absolute mess of a film that reeks of an exasperated last attempt at milking the franchise for minimal cost. It’s tonally scattered and ridiculously scripted. Woof.
9.Thank god for "Pony":
#MagicMikesLastDance left a lot of its great ideas not fleshed out, while Channing brings his charm like always. But hey, at least they played “pony” to close out the trilogy. https://t.co/9QoZIyWBf0
10.One viewer is hoping this really is Mike's last dance:
#MagicMikesLastDance, hopefully, is just that. It strips away everything fun and funny about the prior films. Choosing dry humping over dancing. It wastes its talent thinking it's an elongated, So You Think You Can Dance episode. Full review out now:https://t.co/TyFdjYiG5K
11.This fan loved the energy and saw the movie as a love letter to dance:
I went to see #MagicMikesLastDance last night. I can’t tell you how much fun it was to watch a movie in a theater full of women (and one man who apparently took his gf on a belated Valentine’s date). The energy was so great! The film itself was a wonderful love letter to dance.
12.Whilst one watcher recommends spending your money on something else. Lol:
If any of you are thinking of going to cinema to spend your #valentines on watching the newest #MagicMikesLastDance my advice to you is: DONT! Utter snooze fest, lack of any chemistry, zero sparkle and total bore. Spend your money on Lelo instead 🤝
13.This fan seemed pleased to relive their Magic Mike London experience through the film:
Loved #MagicMikesLastDance & so happy to see this gorgeous man from @MagicMikeLDN in the film. He was at my first Magic Mike experience in 2019 & again in 2022. He just gets better. @Harrycarter_mml
14.Whilst this emoji says it all:
that first dance in #magicmikelastdance was just 😳
15.Anyone else find the final installment a little cringe?
First movie was so much better just cringe watching this @magicmikemovie #Magicmikelastdance
16.I'm just imagining the scenes:
#magicmikelastdance was fun until cinema staff told us to stop making a sound. Like seriously how are we suppose to react between @channingtatum scenes?!?
17.It's a stern no for this watcher:
Well, #MagicMikesLastDance was possibly the worst film I’ve ever seen in my life 👌🏼
18.Hands up if you liked Channing and Salma:
@channingtatum and @salmahayek are a duo we didn’t know we needed. I’m extra proud of being a Mexican woman tonight 🥵 Dios mioooo!! #magicmikelastdance #sexappealthroughtheroof
19.That rain dance though:
I need to know why no else is talking about the ballerina and Channing dance during #magicmikelastdance that is very much #StepUp … like Jenna Dewan was absolutely source material
