You've got to see Everything Everywhere All at Once - it's an awesome movie! I used to avoid it, thinking it was just another sci-fi film that got popular in theaters, but boy, was I mistaken. The story is really well-crafted, the visuals are stunning, the acting is top-notch, and it even tugs at your heartstrings unexpectedly. I watched it last night and was blown away. Seriously, don't make the same mistake I did. Go ahead and give it a watch. I'd easily rate it 8.5/10, heck, maybe even a 9!

I'm a weird guy, I'm more of a light hearted fun show/movie enjoyer. This is probably why I don't like Breaking Bad or this movie that much. I do recognize that both of these works are very well done and deserve the praise they deserve but they don't particularly suit my tastes. It just feels too heavy for me to enjoy.

It was a stupid generic relationship drama with sci fi and fantasy elements thrown in haphazardly to disguise how utterly boring and mundane it was. The Actors, Artists, and Crew all did a great job, but the actual story was the same drivel every other relationship drama is.

The weird humor ruined the move for me. Especially those hotdog hands so disgusting.

It was okay. I don't mean this as a 'review', but I saw it a couple of months ago and I don't really remember what the point of it was. The most interesting thing to me was the dude that played the husband was Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Some of the humour was pretty cringe to be honest. I'm also a massive Michelle Yeoh fan, so that's how I was coerced into watching it in the first place.

It's a very polarizing movie for some reason. I really enjoyed it, so much that I've rewatched it a few times.

What I can't understand it that some people absolutely fucking loathe the movie, just visceral hatred, and I've never seen a good explanation as to why this is.

Because people who want to watch a movie to escape from their daily lives don't want to spend 90 minutes in the closet of a tax office.

That's a pretty big mischaracterization of the movie.

Well then I guess my enjoyment of the movie was mischaracterized as boredom and discontent.

Didn’t it win an Oscar as well?

[-] zuxron@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Oh, I believe it did win an Oscar! But you know what? Awards don't always tell the whole story. There are plenty of fantastic movies that didn't receive awards, and on the flip side, some not-so-great films have somehow managed to snag lots of awards. So, it's best not to put too much emphasis on awards alone! Enjoying a movie is what really matters in the end.

High-profile awards like the Oscars are not given for excellence. They are just an advertisement for a movie that the producers can buy. It says nothing about the movie other than that it was made by a big and rich studio.

I said to myself wtf multiple times during the movie and the end was the biggest 'wtf did I just watch?'

I loved it

I concur with the first part.

There was just nothing enjoyable about it for me.

I mean, this is one of my favourite movies in years and this would have been a great post to make 15 months ago when it came out. But since then it's had great word of mouth from audiences, a fantastic critical response, and won a tonne of awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars.

Nobody is underestimating the brilliance of this film at this stage.
