Man I really wanted to enjoy this movie and just struggled with it from the start. Nothing works in this thing, the “Marty McFly” esque narration is just grating. I am not sure if is the break neck speed of the story or just how obvious and trite the social commentary is, all the jokes don’t land. Subtly has never been Bong Joon Ho‘s strength but man this thing just made my eyes roll and man it was tough being stuck with the biggest looser in the known universe..

The production values are spectacular.

I didn't love it but did like it, was entertained, didn't feel like I wasted my time watching it.

Yep. This.

I particularly liked Mark Ruffalo's ridiculous and horrible character.

That’s cool, I made it just over an hour into the movie and quit. I found it to be a total waste of time.
