Mildly surprised you didn't like it but not for one second do I believe this is literally the worst movie you've ever seen. Not a ****ing chance with as many movies as you see.

Go see it to find out. The less you know, the better.

This might be better than Get Out.
Get Out is so damn overrated.

. They straight up looked terrible, like a mix between 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and that Dinosaurs sitcom that aired on ABC in the early '90s as well, but somehow worse than both.

All I know is that I have only one other friend I know of who's seen it, who I talked to this morning, and he shares my feelings. I think he hated more than I did, in fact. That, and I was behind a couple complaining about it last night as I was exiting the theater. Those are the only "normal" people reactions I've been able to gauge.
As far as Twitter goes, though, it's been almost unanimous praise/enthusiasm, save for one tweet I saw from a critic I follow who didn't hate it, but thought it was trying way to hard.
So they should have had a scene like Richard Pryor's penny shaving in Superman 3...thus convincing us he could build the world's greatest supercomputer.TCTTS said:
This movie also puts a pet peeve of mine front and center with Stanfield's character, one who everyone is constantly praising for how brilliant and clever and amazing he is, yet we never actually see him be any of those things. He just magically/naturally has the best "white man" voice in the game, without any practice or effort, and what we hear from him in terms of skill on his calls is never anything special or worthy of the immense praise he's receiving. I just really, really hate when movies do that. When the writer doesn't do the heavy lifting to actually show the character being good at what he does and wow the audience with a skill on screen. Instead, it's just glimpses of conversations cut short or alluded to or people saying how much he's killing it. Granted, this movie isn't necessarily about telemarketers, per se, but that is a hugely prominent aspect, one that propels Stanfield's character throughout the narrative. Overall, it just cut so many corners in that regard.

I didn't hate it, and I give it credit for being really original at least... but it wasn't even remotely as clever as it thought it was. You could just see the director stroking himself thinking he was making some brilliant cult masterpiece.
