David Ehrlich gave it 4/5.

Its over.

Succession crossed with Batman Forever?!?!

 

[ThomasNicole]

Not that the reviews are great, but they’re better than most of what Hollywood puts out 

 

Which makes it funny the discourse that nobody wants to buy it because it’s too bad lol

[excel1]

This is certainly a unique marketing campaign behind it. It's becoming one of the most talked about films of the year, someone is going to buy it.

These reviews, all of them, are selling me so hard on this.

‘Megalopolis’ Review: Francis Ford Coppola’s Mad Modern Masterwork Reinvents The Possibilities Of Cinema

Best movie ever from Deadline.

 

First letterboxd reviews are all over the place.

 

 

I absolutely love the desperation in the language used by critics trying to hitch their wagon on the back of potential Oscar-bait movies

 

Quote

Watching Anthony Mann’s The Fall of the Roman Empire and eating cheese afterwards would be the only way to replicate its fever-dream grandeur

 

Like, sir.... what the fuck is he talking about?

62 on MC now

 

Reviews between awful and great

When pretentiousness and cringe synergize into one.

Yeah Megalopolis sure sounds like Oscar bait. Going to win all the Oscars.

[WittyUsername]

At this point, I think critical raves would’ve been more boring for this than polarizing reviews or even overwhelmingly negative ones. 

[Lucas]

The Oscars don't give a single shit about anything that is being described in these reviews lol

[Maggie]

The reviews on Letterboxd are so bad. I don't think this has any chance of recouping that insane budget.

[Speedorito]

Critics were obviously held at gunpoint at forced to give this film negative reviews in order to sink this film and the GOAT.

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

Late-Period Coppola being divisive?

Moderation

 

We are not doing this. Continue this further and you’re getting a threadban

[interiorgatordecorator]

this feels like something that needs to come out next week, not 7 months from now; if you're going for "its divisive, watch it" marketing you cant have critics sitting on it for half a year
