Comment on Anyone else found Mickey 17 embarrassingly bad? (Just watched it)

It’s a messy movie. I think a lot of the more current jokes/references are going to age badly like when Futurama came back and made iphone jokes to be topical.
That said, I really enjoyed 60% of it so gave it 3 stars on letterboxed. At least it tried something new in its genre mashups. My personal theory is that big Bong struggles to direct English language films like this and Snowpiercer because he misses a sense of how the script sounds to a native speaker.

Yep agreed. On the English language thing, I suspected but don’t know enough about him and haven’t seen enough of his films to be confident enough to claim it. But it certainly seemed to me that the writing-directing-editing just was not landing at all. I think my problem is that I picked up on it fairly early on in the film and couldn’t stop it from distracting me from the films positives.
