  Any thoughts on why it was awful?

    It was just all over the place. The story is so convoluted/ incoherent and storylines will start and stop at random without any sort of payoff. The actors all feel like they’re performing in different movies.

    The visuals were cool and there were a couple of funny moments, but I didn’t enjoy myself at all the entire time. It was just absolutely a mess. Just because you quote Marcus Aurelius doesn’t mean the movie is deep. It’s like it’s trying to make a point and never does because nothing connects in an impactful way.

      I appreciate you taking the hit and also your elaboration. My sis and I were planning to see it in theater, but maybe we’ll wait to stream if it’s a long 3 hours.

      Interesting. I wonder if it’s one of those movies that only get better with repeat viewings, or if it really is just bad.
