Overrated and overhyped
Admirable film.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
