I literally had to remind myself a few times what I was watching,... No Rick, Morty as a sidecharacter and an episode that seemed like an unrelated cartoon made by a bunch of old rappers to get back into the spotlight...

This should have just been some YouTube special.

Very ok. Doesn't feel like the same show anymore. They rushed through the potential biggest storyline of Rick prime to get to this?

WTF did I just watch. Was this written by chatgpt? Worst episode of the season and for the entire show in general.

Easily the worst episode of the series.

Yeah it was meh compared to the other episodes prior this season.

Easily the worst episode of the season

I don't know if it's because of the last episodes or what, which were good, but this episode felt really 'meh' story-wise. What I appreciate about this season is the maturity that the characters have developed and how that reflects in stronger and healthier dynamics. So, I liked this episode for showing the growth between Summer and Morty, specially on her side.

This episode feels like it focuses on a different family to tell it's story even though that's likely not the case. It wasn't fun or entertaining. It's probably my least favorite episode featuring Summer and of this season.

I want to watch that opening scene on repeat.

But in the 2.5 hour version of this movie, I failed to make any connection to any of the characters. So watching it, it was just a bunch of stuff happening. I felt no investment or reason to feel anything during good times nor bad for any of the characters. Those things were just things happening.

Hopefully the 4+ hour version of this movie fixes that, because as it stands I was expecting more. This movie is a bit of a let down.

Like a tour of the optometrist's: there's a lot of grind and not enough spectacles.

Ridley Scott made the dubious decision to focus the lens of Napoleon Bonaparte's biopic on his love life rather than his military expertise and failures.

So, instead of examining his expansion into the Americas and the political savior faire required to unify a divided France (by, for example, naming the Place des Vosges in Paris after the first French region to send taxes to the empire), we get overlong scenes of him having bad sex with his wife while both of them wear all the clothes.

Not to mention, and I won't because I'm alone in this, that the movie is made entirely in English, which is the intellectual equivalent of watching a civil war movie where the North and the South run around speaking German.

Nope, sadly, instead of a film worthy of an emperor we get a pile of reenactments based on some famous paintings.

The last 3 episodes have been really consistent.

There is something off about the new season, a different vibe.

So meta that I think he (and I) missed the point of it all.

Not my favourite Wes Anderson movie, but certainly has all key elements of his usual work. Its a little heavy in the amount of characters, which since is a theatre play, it multiplies by two: the chracter and the "actor" that plays the chracter. The layers in which the movie unfolds is a bit confusing at times, and doesn't get too deep beyond the main one. The "story" is ok-ish enough. Its an ok Wes movie, but i don't think is even in the top 3

Visually, quite good. But I think I just didn't understand what was going on. I recently watched a bunch of Wes Anderson movies and liked every single one of them. Grand Budapest Hotel was amazing. I just didn't get this one.

In this film, a theater is narrated that does not have a strong story.
Famous and capable actors in the majority of a weak and boring story, I was not satisfied with this movie as a whole

I have no idea what the film is even trying to say.
I don't understand the whole story.

When it's coherent it's fine. But it's not very coherent. I don't care if that's the point, it's just boring. Why should I care about these characters and their interactions with each other? And to take it deeper why should I care about the character's characters? If you're going to give me a fictional documentary you could at least make it digestible like a real one. The way this was done just leaves more questions than answers and more boredom and confusion than anything else.

Stylistically it's neat, some lines are good and some scenes I think I understood. But honestly you're better off just watching something else that's not so far up it's own butt. Might have worked better as a TV show. Either way, don't bother.

These new Wes Anderson films look the same picture over and over again to me. I don’t get the simplicity of the dialogues nor the characters’ expressions. It seems an empty film, it has no content, though artistically beautifully directed.

all style and no content, skippable

I can understand why a lot of people love this movie, but for me I think there were too many things going on in this movie. Of course the design and production were amazing as always with Wes Anderson movies, but the play within a play idea was a bit too much. I think this also prevented any depth in a lot of the characters since there was simply too many ideas ideas being thrown around.

If you're a fan of Wes Anderson movies, although with all its characteristic style, it's not as good as his other films. If you're not a fan of Wes Anderson, avoid like the plague, you'll definitely will hate this movie.

Verification that incredible creativity, great sets, a bucket list of famous people and great actors doesn't always make a great movie. You still need a good story to tell

I think it's time I accept that Wes Anderson films maybe just aren't my thing. I really loved The Grand Budapest Hotel, Fantastic Mr Fox, and also Isle of Dogs, albeit to a lesser extent. But every other Wes Anderson film I've watched has just failed to really grip me. Sure, this is an undoubtedly gorgeous and quirky film, but visuals aren't enough to carry an entire film for me. I absolutely adored the scene where the alien came down to collect the asteroid, that was definitely the stand-out scene of the entire film for me. But nothing else throughout the runtime managed to keep me properly engaged. It's a shame, because I'm always excited going into these films, especially considering that they're filled with actors I adore, but they just seem to not click for me more often than not.

This is just a movie about a movie about a play about a play. And that's where the disappointment lies.

There's no arch. No heroes or foes. No obstacles to overcome. Nothing gets solved, and there's no real payoff. It's just a story within a story within a story and you the audience is expected to marvel at how terribly clever it is. It's incredible clever. But it's not very watchable.

Ultimately it's just a series of scenes, one after another, that you don't care about.

I would rather shit in my hands and clap than watch this movie to the end.

This was the first movie I have ever walked out of the cinema after 45 minutes.

It's not bad, but boy how this movie would benefit from an extra 20 or 30 minutes of runtime. It feels like it fails to develop a lot of key moments that would elevate it from a decent movie to a Pixar movie

"Elemental," the new Pixar film, pleasantly surprised me. It's better than I initially thought, but it doesn't quite reach the heights of my favorite Pixar movies. However, what it lacks in comparison, it makes up for with a lot of heart. The concept of Fire and Water becoming friends is a unique and endearing touch that adds a special charm to the story. It might not be a Pixar classic, but it's a heartwarming addition to their collection. :fire::droplet::movie_camera:

Buncha boring fusspots on this site! Instead of judging this movie against other Pixar movies, or other movies with similar plots, just enjoy it for what it is: a gorgeous movie with inventive little details (I especially liked all of the Fire clothing being made out of metal and glass), a great soundtrack, and an excellent message throughout about race, racism, immigration, and how people treat each other. My mom and I just watched it and while yes, it's not Pixar's strongest, and we both liked Inside Out better, it was still a fun hour and forty minutes, and the sort of movie where if I spotted it on TV, I'd probably hang around to watch it.
