Went to the Dolby twice recently to see Spider-Man No Way Home and West Side Story. Theatre is a great option for uptown especially if you want the Dolby experience. The both rooms are way to far if you’re in the Dolby. Expect to go for a hike.

I love that the theater is very Harlem oriented (there’s murals inside with inspirational figures). This theater feels like a theater stuck in time. It has no recliner chairs and the chairs are pretty much on the smaller side. I definitely recommend it though. They keep the theater clean and organized. One downside is that they always seem to be short staffed.

I heard others complaints about this theater. I have none. It’s always clean, and usually pretty empty when I go. A few times I had the theater all to myself!

Fun to be back at the theater with the usual awesome experience and service to see Venom. Only complaint there is is that there is no medium size.

Easy to get to the place. They're taking good COVID safe measurements. The food line for Premier members moves super quick. Overall a great time there.

I’ve been coming to Magic Johnson Theater for years, and while I love their new Dolby Theater experience, I have to say that the pandemic has set them back a bit on the concessions side. Before the pandemic, this theater used to offer the best concessions like burger and chicken sliders with curly fries, pizza, and more besides just your traditional popcorn, nachos and hot dogs. Unfortunately though, it looks like the pandemic has caused quite a setback in this area because when I went to see Ghostbusters: Afterlife, I noticed that they’d taken all the sliders, French fries, chicken fingers, etc.off the menu and now only offer macaroni and cheese bites and pizza in addition to the regular movie fare. In addition, they’re severely understaffed right now, so I missed the opening credits of the movie while waiting for my order to be ready. At this point, I might consider going back to the AMC on the upper West Side since they at least have reclining chairs in all their theaters unlike Magic Johnson. While I’m hopeful this theater is going to eventually turn itself around, it’s currently struggling to keep up with the other theaters nearby that simply offer a better overall experience. Magic Johnson may have my heart, but unless things change, other theaters may get my money instead. On a positive note, I did find that Magic Johnson was extremely clean in all the areas when I went, so that’s a definite step in the right direction!

They removed the arcade games. I loved this place because of the games I'm mad they are gone.

If I could give it a 0 I would. First of all the food is disgusting.the customer service has dehumanizing I rather play with roaches than to go here again. I have gone here for 3 times already but the latest incident ruined it. I sent my teenage kid to watch eternals and they told him, he needed a parent. A 16 year old needs a parent to watch a marvel movie? When have you seen that? Never please don’t go here it’s a bone fire waiting to happen.

Magic Johnson, it would be nice if you would foot the bill to renovate your/our Magic Johnson Theater in Harlem and bring it up to Safety and Health modification standards. Time, wear & tear by the normal public use have caused: Filthy Seats need to be replaced, old dirty carpeting needs to be replaced or super cleaned, the walls need to be painted fresh, the glass outer structure wall needs to be professionally cleaned on both sides, the elevators are dirty, the escalators don't all function, the bathrooms need updating of broken faucets and hand blowers and soap dispensers and toilet flushers, the food counters need updating, etc. Overall, the entire theater needs a make over big time especially now during a Pandemic! Magic Johnson show Harlem you didn't forget about us, and Please make Harlem's theater's name shine again, because right now, "The Magic Johnson Theater In Harlem" is looking really Unsanitary very sadly.

The chairs are a little uncomfortable. I love the AMC movie theater on 84th and Broadway reclining chairs.
