    The professional reviews are hilariously mixed, I’m pretty sure Coppola unwittingly made a movie that also serves as a litmus test to see how pretentious and up your own ass you are.

    The honest reviews are basically, this made no sense, I don’t know what he was thinking. The positive reviews can be boiled down to “if you have to ask, you’re not sophisticated enough to understand”.

        I’d say less, because the movie makes itself completely clear that it’s a fable about power and greed.

        The reception of it appears to be, but prob only because Coppola is seen as more prestigious by critics because he never made a batman movie.

          I don’t think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious. It might even make him moreso, if only because of The Dark Knight. He was able to pour even more money into whatever he wanted to after that.

          He’s still one of the few directors that have full control over their movies.

          What movie did you make?

          Or are you the only one that’s eligible to have an opinion?

              Ah so you’re the only person allowed to have an opinion, and no one else can. Cuz you’re special, right?

                I only pointed out that your snide comment would mean something coming from a filmmaker, whereas just some rando shitting on a unique piece of art doesn’t mean much.
