    3.5 hours of absolute misery, with the only moments of levity being when CGI is unable to mask the fact that DeNiro is ancient based on his posture while he kicks that guy’s ass, and the occasional insane Pacino line reading. Recommend!

    If I had a nickel for every movie where Kathy Bates does some damage with a hammer…

    For a movie that’s nearly 3 hours it’s shocking how much feels rushed here imo. Entire character arcs and emotional turns feel like they come out of nowhere, meanwhile they spend several full minutes beating us over the head (including two (2) verbal confirmations!) revealing a “twist” that was extremely obvious from the first 10 minutes of film. 

    Everything after the emotional centerpiece following the Water Planet fell a bit flat for me, but what a fucking knockout that sequence…

    This was pretty much fine. Scratches the surface on a lot of different themes and ideas but doesn’t go super deep into any of them. Ruffalo doing a silly Trump impression for 2 hours really feels like it was done during a different time, with a different expectations of how Things would be going right now. Weird to say a movie hasn’t aged well when it literally just came out, but it’s true.

    But it’s got some cute fucked up…
