I just checked it out last night, i had a feeling it was a fun project for the actors, regardless of the overall quality, i wanted to see how they enjoyed performing.
To be honest i didn’t hate it. It was longer than it should be, sucked itself off while also having awkward theater kid feeling moments. But i didn’t find it as disjointed as everyone talked about, if you watch some media that’s figurative you’ll be fine, it’s mostly more or less just a linear narrative following the main characters.
Honestly it wasn’t the worse use of my time, for me. My partners watched with me and one left feeling frustrated at the conclusion (no spoilers) and felt their time was wasted, while the other just could not have their attention held, there were a lot of ‘i am deep’ shots that if you dont enjoy that you just wont.
All that is to say I didn’t pay anything for it, so i had less reason to come in with any expectations. Oh, and I never found I liked the Godfather or his other “classics” so i came in expecting an old man’s passion project and that’s what i got. The actors felt like they had a blast so i couldn’t help watching the whole thing for them.
All and all, if you can see it for free and appreciate it for what it was (a fun bad movie) i think it’s fine. If anything i found the ending to be a bit saccharin for a movie that tried to be dark? Some of the parts wrapped up ridiculously im still kind of stunned.
It’s wild this mf made an Atlas Shrugged-ass movie while everyone out here is living like Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle.
Read the room, guy
Nice theater tho!
I don’t understand what you are saying but I want to.
Care to tell me what is the message of atlas shruggs and the jungle are?
Atlas Shrugged is the conservative wet dream of “what if the rich people that totally do all the work and hold everything together got tired of the poors being so whiny and ungrateful and stopped.” It’s an-cap fan fiction.
Ayn Rand wrote robber baron fan fiction
And then died living off social security and Medicare.
Like a true hypocrite
S’what I said
“Robber baron” needs a resurgence for modern times
The Jungle was a book exposing the nightmares of the industrial revolution, especially in the meat packing industry.
From reading the penny arcade blog about it and watching the trailer, it seems to be an arthouse movie that just happens to be made by the most famous people on earth. You might love it or hate it but most people just won’t get it either way
For $120 million.
Damn, cinema tickets have really gone up in cost
To be fair, that includes a large popcorn.
Sounds to me like some self indulgent, pompous, crap but that’s just me.
I agree, it was shallow and pedantic.
perfect place to fuck in a theatre
My favorite part is when the main character shouts “its megalopolin time” and then he megalopped all over the place
I have to ask. What about this movie is so bad
I haven’t seen it, I hadn’t even heard of it until yesterday. But you don’t get a flop THIS epic without some Morbius tier blunders
I haven’t seen it and, although I know it gets panned a lot for various reasons, I highly recommend at least reading the snippets of reviews of the film by critics to get an idea. Even a lot of the so-called positive films are basically ‘this movie clearly sucks, but I liked it anyway.’
Basically, it’s a very expensive, pretty, and totally incoherent mess of a film that a few people feel is profound but most people think is a colossal piece of shit.

Also, some theaters have a lady stand in front of the screen and lip synch to a specific scene and then leave for some reason. Don’t ask me to explain that.
Edit: also, that link provides you with gems like this one from Richard Roeper-

It sounds like what people should have thought about Inception, but everyone instead apparently fucking loved that movie.
All the hate given toward Megalopolis makes me want to see it. Before that, I wasn’t interested just based on the poster.
I eventually want to see Megalopolis too.
I like watching art house movies and then figuring out what I don’t like about it. Even the ones everyone loves. Magnolia was one people loved and I just didn’t get.
Yeah, well the thing is for me a lot of those types of movies are great but some are absolute trash. And then there are some that I have a lot of mixed feelings about. I don’t really get most David Lynch movies for example, but I’ve rarely felt like watching them were a waste of time because at least you’ll see something interesting. Then there’s total bizarre experience films. I have no fucking clue what Holy Mountain was, but I was fascinated by it.
The issue with this film however seems to be that not only is it incoherent and rambling, it’s also incredibly dull.
Have you seen it or are you just repeating other people’s opinions?
I’ve seen it and that’s a fair summary.
I literally said seems to be
Ya but i heard there’s an Amy Plaza face sitting scene. Seems like this years movie of the year to me.
