This was posted to r/moviecritic to collect some honest reviews. They are definitely quite varied.
Theory: at this point I feel like someone is more likely to comment if they were meh or didn't like the movie because that's the minority view? I mean, it'd be much less interesting for someone to make a post 10 months after the movie came out and was a mega hit and say, "breaking news: it's a great movie!"
Thoughts?
I mean, because most people liked it and tons of people loved it. It's not a fluke or accident that it was a smash commercial success, critically acclaimed, and won best picture and a lot of awards.
And yet, people in that sub are like, meh, why see it IMAX 70 mm when you can watch it on your 55 inch TV?
If you take the time to look through, there are actually reviews completely all over the place. It's interesting. Like seriously as low as people saying, it's the worst movie they have ever seen, and as high as people saying it is the best movie they have ever seen.
