I watched it a few nights back and although I thought it was well-made, well-acted, and entertaining, here are the few minor gripes I had with it:

  1. The first 40 minutes were spoiled by the trailers. It felt like I was waiting for the movie to get going for a while. That's more of a criticism of modern trailers than the movie itself though.

  2. The deus ex machina ending felt anticlimactic:

    spoiler

That the council could/would just immediately band together to oust Ruffalo once they saw his abuses for the first time via one Google Glass recording felt very unrealistic and immediately negated the stakes of the whole movie imo

Overall I enjoyed the movie and think it's worth watching once, but I don't think I have a desire to watch it again.

I didn't really watch any trailers and watched it last night. I posted in the group chat with my friends that it was pretty mid during the first 40. Came out with the opinion that it was decent at the end if a bit cheesy.

My thoughts exactly

You did not cover up the spoilers really well. I want the press to know this

Mods. Mods!

Shoot my bad! I put my spoiler comment in spoiler tags, how could I have improved it?

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Whatever it is, don't affect the dots, the first "spoiler" (you can change the 2nd one), or the lines in anyway. You know how to preview stuff, right?

Yes, I had the spoiler tags surrounding the part of my second point that contained spoilers which I didn't alter. I previewed my comment and it looked fine to me. I think the moderators removed it because they considered the first part of my comment a spoiler which I didn't 🤷

EDIT: mods restored my comment and yeah I fat-fingered my spoiler tags

[–] RotundLadSloopUnion@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I restored it since there are untagged spoilers all over the thread anyway lol. If you want to fix the formatting feel free but you don't have to

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Thnx, fixed! 👍

Not only that but what a laughable misunderstanding of liberalism.
