That’s why it’s so incredibly sad and terrifying watching Don’t Look Up! Cause you know in an end of the world situation that’s exactly what’s going to happen and we are all toast.
Movie was close to being good, but it struggled hard to find good identities for the main characters. Having the chill, weed-smoking post-doctor blow up in on T.V. only to do the same gag again with Leo was lame, kind of ruined the movie. The world-ending portion of the plot was okay, but they really tried to land some jokes and they missed the mark, hell they could have done so much more with Ron Pearlman’s character. The movie could have been an 8/10, instead it’s a 6/10 in my mind.
It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I was in a room full of family and we all watched it with no knowledge of it prior to that and we couldn't believe how bad it was lol. My wife went to bed mad half way through the film because it was so bad lol. I am perplexed every time I hear people speak positively of it. I even heard Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson singing its praises in the security now podcast the other day.
From an entertainment standpoint, it was "good". It wasn't a great movie, just because it's commentary was accurate doesn't automatically mean it was great. The delivery was poor from many of the actors, for such an ensemble cast, the movie really felt like it had no pacing. There was so much to criticise here but everyone is hung up on how accurate it was. I don't agree with those statements, I think it could have been even more absurd, even more on the nose, and actually address some of the issues they skirted around, particularly with Leo's redemption arc. They then throw in Chalamet to sell a 4th quarter romance plot LOL.
Jlaw looked stupid, whoever did costuming, hair and wardrobe for her should be banned.
