Boy oh boy! This thing is beyond terrible! I don't know why I started it in the first ,place, and I'm even more confused as to how & why I made it all the way to the end. The premise, I think, has the potential to be fairly interesting, and with a competent cast & crew, we might've had another cult classic here. Sadly, though, "competent" is something that this cast & crew are not! The acting is so, so bad, to the point where it became legitimately distracting. Acting is hard, I get it, and I'd certainly be no better than most of these folks... but I'm also not trying out for acting roles. Even worse than the acting was the audio. The mixing was comically bad. Like, 1990 handheld VHS camcorder-with-no-dedicated-mic bad. Unbelievably, appallingly awful. The very last scene was probably the best scene of this cinematic atrocity. That the best scene (arguably) in the whole movie featured no dialogue or acting or even movement, is a pretty telling statement on the overall quality of this garbage. Just watch the Human Centipede instead

I wanted to like it. I tried to convince myself to like it. I have a higher tolerance them most for weird, artsy fare... But, man, this thing was terrible. It's hard to understand why so many critics were so hyped about it.

It wasn't too bad for the first bit. I especially enjoyed the multi-colored strobe-light-on-face scene. And, surely, there were other things I enjoyed. Probably. But then there was the part where the girl got out of bed wearing glow-in-the-dark face paint and glared at the camera for a few minutes. She next ripped apart and stomped out a stuffed ape, and followed that up by glaring at the camera for a few minutes more. The only thing I remember after that point is some dude in glasses (maybe?) looking at the camera and speaking with a very calm, deliberate voice. And... credits. I didn't like this one, sadly, even though I really, honestly wanted to.

Slow, boring, & predictable. My family doesn't agree on much we all universally hated this film.

I've watched hundreds, maybe thousands, of films and TV series in my 40+ years. I've loved a lot of it, and I've probably disliked a lot more. Even so, I cannot recall ever watching anything I've hated with the intensity or for the reasons I hate this disingenuous, manipulative piece of garbage. I'm not one who typically writes reviews, but my god this thing deserves to have some of the hype tamped down. I'll spare you the details, because so many other reviews have said it better than I ever could. Just read the viewer reviews by Hanna G. And Jun Kee; they're absolutely on point.

I bought this, choosing to ignore all the negative reviews and the hate this game received upon release, assuming it was just folks piling on the hate for a game with a troubled release. Man, was that a mistake. My problem isn't with bugs or story or world-building or representation; I can't even get far enough into the game to experience any of that stuff. The controls, at least on a gamepad, are absolute trash. Aiming a weapon with any precision is nigh impossible, and even just looking around is a herky-jerky, nauseating ordeal. I've spent hours tweaking settings and scouring the internet for recommended settings, but nothing has made it feel good (or even acceptable) to play. Despite the years of anticipation for its release, the $50 it cost me, and the hours I've wasted trying to make it playable, I'm done with it. Cyberpunk 2077 is, by a large margin, the most disappointing game I can remember in my lifetime. The only saving grace for me is the free Stadia controller and Chromecast Ultra that came with my purchase.
