I enjoyed it. I didn't think the ending was nearly as good

Really liked it. Probably not quite as good as the original for me, but nothing wrong with that

It had some funny lines and set pieces, but I thought the mystery of who did it was incredibly easy to solve. The ending was also over the top and didn't make much sense. I wouldn't watch it again but I don't regret having watched it either.

It's a real shame this dude absolutely must shove in bits about culture war and politics into everything he does, because it mars what would be an otherwise great movie.

I found it amusing it that he wrote it long before Elon Musk exposed himself to be a total idiot the past year (and particularly the past few months).

It's all just too in the nose, and the post-modernism just oozes out of this film. Most of these tropes are going to be meaningless to audiences in 5+ years.

I have no idea what this means, but he hasn't? He got stuck buying Twitter for a ridiculously overinflated price after getting sued to fulfill his contract and now embarrasses himself daily on the platform he owns, literally doing everything that he accused the previous administration of doing despite being a "free speech absolutist."
This movie may not have been written based on Elon Musk, but it certainly feels like it now. |

I'm still not actually sure it is a good movie myself, but it entertains very well until the conclusion where I think he just sort of couldn't quite out how to end it. |

He doesnt merely "shove in bits" about that stuff. It's the whole purpose of the thing in general. He makes movies to reinforce that white straight men are the boogieman of life. I'm shocked you got anything out of it at all.

Yes and a lot of that's a by-product of his getting involved with Twitter for no good reason.

Stock was way overvalued (possibly due to Elon worship!) and has now corrected like a bunch of others. Hard to assign a singular cause.

Basically, Hercule Poirot revised for current times.
An entertaining watch.
