Nick!

I was looking forward to this movie so much. So many big names that I adore, and direction from FFC. I avoided trailers because I wanted to unwrap this gift in the moment, in the theater. Hot garbage. Uninspired, poorly acted, contrived nonsense. I was trying to like it. I was trying to enjoy it. I was trying so hard to believe it was going to get better if I just stuck it out. Finally I had to get up and leave the theater a little more than halfway through. It was just so bad. I've seen positive reviews of this and can only chalk it up to an emperor's new clothes. So disappointing.

This is one of those movies where you just keep asking yourself: How is this, this bad?

This movie is brilliant. Quality cast, direction, and writing. Hope it gains notoriety for how great it is.

80% from Rotten Tomatoes huh? Guess I can't trust them anymore. Watched this with my mother. She loves all kinds of movies. She even loves movies that aren't very good, which usually has me keeping my criticisms to myself afterwards. Even she thought this movie was garbage. Amazingly bad even though Stillers acting is great. Literally goes nowhere with underlying messages that fall flat or outright just miss the mark. I don't mind a wandering theme to a movie, but the wandering itself at least needs to be enjoyable, and it was far from that.

This is a brilliant movie and one of the best in the genre that I have seen in a while. I have so many good things to say about this movie that I literally don't feel like writing that much. Near perfect in all aspects, creating an engaging experience.

Despite the obvious big budget and wonderful visual effects, this movie never stops feeling slapped together. There is some surprisingly good acting in a few scenes, but that doesn't overcome the many moments of terrible acting and directing. The scene in which Toby Jones makes his first appearance as the black market auctioneer is some of the most cringeworthy acting I have ever seen in a major motion picture. I am curious how many takes they did before deciding that would be the one people would pay money to see. All in all, this feels like a rough draft, or a hybrid dinosaur that should have never made it to the auction block.

So the guy who made this movie released Beach bum or whatever recently. Made me remember that I wanted it to be known, on record on the internet somewhere, how terrible this movie is. This movie is one of those ones that will give you nightmares, not due to the movie itself, but because of how bad the movie actually is. I wish I had worse ways to describe its sheer uselessness of existence.

A brilliant cap to a brilliant trilogy. If you didn't enjoy this trilogy and appreciate the depth of artistry shown, you simply don't understand movies and you probably shouldn't be a critic. The negative reviews of these three movies is truly a testament to how lost professional movie critics actually are. Truly a shame considering the impact they have on moviegoers. Much like the society keeping the three main characters out of the view of the public. You have to wonder if the movie itself is aware of such a parallel, and mocking it with its ending. Quite nice.
