I hate what's happened to film in 2021 as much as the next guy, but I can appreciate when a film powers through all that nonsense and makes something really worth watching. Somehow.
**I'm not sure what trailers people were watching if they have the thought it didn't properly represent the film.**
Tonally I thought it was very accurate to the film. There were no surprises in that regard. Honestly it showed way too much of the movie, I regret seeing it after watching the whole film as it spoiled quite a few cool things I'd eventually see.
I've seen this happen with a few movies. Drive comes to mind, where people didn't pay any attention to the feel or mood of trailers, expecting Fast and Furious 14 but getting an actually fantastic movie instead... then walking out of the theatre like it's the movie's fault for being way better than you wanted it to be. If a trailer skillfully/accurately shows what a movie is about, it's on the viewer to judge accordingly. Very confusing.
This is my cynicism in film goers showing through, to each their own, but their negative reviews stating this movie is a 1 are completely false and is why I had to write my own review.
This movie won't be for everyone. Some people will hate it, like most everything else in the world nobody sees things the same way. This is for people who are looking to enjoy something different, not that the influences aren't apparent. See it for yourself, it will be divisive.. but for the people who enjoy it, they'll appreciate the effort, especially in 2021.
I hope people keep going out on a limb and having a little faith in the audience... then ignoring some of the stupider reviews so they can keep that faith and keep making entertaining movies.
