  Man I feel bad because there is real filmmaking talent and artistic intent on display here. I think RaMell Ross is someone worth your time.

  But this very much did not work. It’s a complete failure of adaptation. To take what is one of the most pointed, concise, driving works of historical fiction ever and turn it into such an aimless bore is criminal.

  But the biggest sin of the movie is the mind boggling choice to film the ENTIRE MOVIE in first person pov camera. The whole thing feels like a video game. It’s confounding.

  Better Man 2024

  Oh…oh no. 

  I’m sure there is an audience for this (although I’m not sure who exactly that would be) but I don’t think I’ve seen a more baffling series of filmmaking decisions. I can’t imagine seeing this without having the director introduce it and explain what’s going on.

  This is a Robbie Williams biopic in which Robbie Williams is portrayed as a mo-cap CGI monkey. I just…I just don’t know what else can be said about this.
