This was... long. It was good, but outside Sensei and maybe Bob sucked. Not that they were portrayed poorly, but that they as people sucked. Perfidia seemed to be like something Tucker Carlson drew up in his mind. Lockjaw was just all over the place and his only defining characteristic was being an A-type personality who never unclinched his asshole. All the French 75 people folded immediately under pressure or just sucked at their jobs.

The first 40ish minutes felt like a movie. The following 2 hours felt like a movie that was probably 30 minutes too long. The Christmas Adventurer's Club is pretty hilarious because an organization like that would have the gayest childish name possible. They'd also probably secretly be fucking each other, but that'd probably be a little over the top.

Overall maybe 8/10, but fuck it was long.

Didn't get shut off but 3rd act dragged. Not really a movie I will ever see again, it'd get shut off. Not enough going on outside of DiCaprio and Del Toro. Lockjaw was a lowlight, per the reviews. He's overracting throughout and came across as a toon. He could have taken it down a notch and the scenes would have carried better.

Made it about 15 mins last night before shutting off, i'll finish a bit at a time but boy that main black chick is ugly as sin and every old white guy around is horny as hell for her. So yeah, Hollywood.

starts off way more action-y than I expected so thats nice. having a tough time placing the movie though since it leans heavily into anti-ICE/borders (starting mid 2010s issue), we have cell phones, but everyone is also driving old ass cars, using outdoor telephone booths, and there are parking coin machines everywhere. I assume a time skip to 15-20 year future is incoming but odd framing for the movie.

I already despise everyone on screen so thats great.

100% glad I am seeing this at home and not in theaters, I probably woulda walked out and been mad i wasted money

What a strange movie. The effect is similar to the zone you are in moments after waking up. Watchable but odd.

this was like a shitty 90s steven seagal movie without one liners or good action. dumb ending, boring the whole way through, and almost no story at all.

and of course its the top contender for Best Picture oscar winner, so yeah grats Hollywood on making boring shitty movies

the weird thing is i think tries to be super woke but everyone is so retarded that i can't really understand if its saying liberals are all idiots or it really thinks they are heroic? who cares. just go watch Marked for Death instead
