All I'm Saying Is

I hate when studios produce movies that, you as a viewer (who was not in any form apart of the making of the film) are able to call out what is to happen. I want to be surprised! None of this was surprising and I felt as though I saw the movie, without seeing the movie. Studios more times than not, want the viewers to feel apart of the movie and I hate that tactic where you talk to the characters about what they should be doing. So, 1990s and beyond (for most, not all, but definitely most movies) Buying tickets or streaming (in my opinion) is as far as the inclusion should be considered. Everything else about the plot should be a surprise (or mostly a surprise) or else, what is the point? This movie is no different to 98% (not an actual calculation) of the movies that I have seen these past 28 years. I used to love watching movies and there are not many films that justify a continuation in watching film. I used to think the film industry was dying but now I am convinced (not based on this film alone) that it is dead. The writers strike has stopped for what? They need to go back to the drawing board. Very displeased in a lot of what Hollywood is/has done and it is safe to say, what will be done in the future. Television is no different from what I see. There are a few unicorns (both film and television) but not enough, again, in my opinion. Movies more times than not, tank or turn little to no profit. Shouldn't that be some sort of a wake up call? Well, obviously not. I just do not know what future really lies ahead for these industries.

Hollywood seems as though they have to insert romance into every film. I'm beyond sick of it at this point. Literally every movie seems like a romance movie despite being called action, horror, etc. in my opinion. Just give me the action. I was not pleased with this movie and actually walked out.

Movies are such money grabs as they have always been but the inclusion of romance (a love story) and all these other aspects to draw in or reach a multide of ages and sexes has destroyed the film experience in my opinion. This movie mirrors so many others. Most movies take 85% of the time to dedicate to back story (so that we the viewers can feel for the characters), then the last 15% is where the movie tends to shine. This was no different and such a let down. What did Dave Chappelle say when reenacting as Rick James? I wish I had two more hands so I can give this four thumbs down. I think I have to stop watching movies for an extended period of time and hope Hollywood gets back to being great again.

This movie is turning out to be one of the dumbest, slowest and unentertaining movies that I have come across which is loosely based on real-life events/people. I would skip through this whole movie if I could because damn, it is slow and it is almost two hrs. runtime. Matthew Johnson's character is really bring the movie "down". A big waste of money. If you like slow and boring, you'll love this film.
