Just saw it today with my daughter… great great movie. Definitely deserves the hype.

But is it Kenough?

I thought it was pretty fun and enjoyable. My GF thought it was a bit boring though. Not for everyone surely, and I think it could have been better but still a solid 7/10 by me

[–] CheshireSnake@iusearchlinux.fyi 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just finished watching it maybe ~2 hours ago. I agree with the 7/10. There were parts that were boring (and imo cringey), but overall it was interesting. Nothing game breaking and could be better, but still a good watch.

[–] HidingCat@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

6/10 for me, but yes, it's fun and gets uneven, with said cringey bits.

Go woke, go ~~broke~~ rich?

[–] neptune@dmv.social 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It turns outs "woke" doesn't have a definition nor really a unifying theme, and that marketing a film to 50+% of the population can actually work.

[–] some_guy@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I’ve asked dozens of republicans and not one of them can answer the question: “what is woke?”

[–] LollerCorleone@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, Greta Gerwig just completely invalidated that right wing slogan.

[–] JonVonBasslake@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Nah, it's been invalidated several times and yet they hopelessly cling to it as if it still meant something. And if some LGBTQ+ friendly film happens to bomb or at least not make that much profit, they will parrot it once again with further gusto.

It could have done without the car chase Chevy ad, but I thought overall it was far above my expectations. Not surprised it's doing well, the whole movie theatre were laughing out loud.

[–] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that the worst of it? Maybe I should see it... I mean I liked the first Michael Bay Transformers movie despite the ludicrous product placement.

[–] greensage@lib.lgbt 3 points 1 year ago

It's closer to the first Lego movie than Transformers. If that helps

[–] ricecooker@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I read somewhere else that no one expected this movie to do so well. This and the Taylor Swift Eras tour is killing it!!

[–] teydam@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

strange that two weeks ago the opening was like 150 mil a giant success, but maybe that just goes to predict or correlate with this number in some way. Giant opening means great buzz, means more sales. etc. guess it worked out. I need to watch it but probably will just do so at home.
