"Mickey 17," Bong Joon Ho's sci-fi satire, is shaping up to be a major money loser for Warner Bros. following its rocky box office reception.

I liked it. I thought Pattinson did an amazing job. The subtleness of his acting as the slightly different personalities was a master class.

I thought the final scene with Toni Collette was out of place and seemed to be added last minute? It was just a sudden tone shift and had some dialog to try and wrap things up...

But it wasn't bad enough to ruin an otherwise entertaining movie. I think the problem is that Mark Ruffalo's character should have come off as very comical and satirical, which would have played better 2 years ago. But now? It hit a little too "currently accurate" to be funny.
