another bomb for miss americana TayTay

She's barely in it but looks like another box office bomb for Margot. Hope Babylon does well at least.

This has been all over my social media timelines with adverts since the red carpet and it looks dull. 
 

Silver Linings Playbook is one of the most overrated films… in existence.

Damn, Ehrlich's review was painful to sit through. Other than the fact that it seems to be a criticism of David O Russell as a person/director (very, very valid), he really said a whole lot of nothing about the movie itself lol.

 

Oh, and used it to take cheap film-Twitter-esque shots (Malek, DeNiro). Which is fine for film Twitter, but it really felt like that was seeping into what's supposed to be a "professional" review. Ony think that was missing was a Peter Farrelley crack   (again, maybe valid, but beside the point, it felt more like a rant than a review).

Why are people oddly defending this clearly terrible movie? 

 

I defend the theatrical experience harder than anyone, especially for original adult pictures, but this is clearly a bad movie. Yeah, DOR's stigma will dip into the reviews, but again, this movie isn't good

[Hatebox]

They’re marketing the hell out of this in the uk for some reason.

I’m... not defending the movie. I’m criticizing a poor review. Not because I disagree with the critic’s opinion of the movie (I for one am only going to watch it if I have friends who want to see it, it’s not something I’m going out of my way for). 
 

Criticizing a criticism isn’t the same thing as defending the thing that the person is criticizing (that’s a weird sentence lol).

It’s already annoying. It was nowhere up until that premiere last week and now it’s flooding my social media. 
 

It looks so unappealing

How is it a poor review? Because it mentions DOR's reputation? Why would his manic personality not be relevant to discussions about his filmmaking? this isn't the first time a director's background and context was mentioned in a review

I’ve seen so many Ads and I still have no clue what it’s about.

Yet @BestPicturePlutoNash keeps giving me confused faces. 
 

a 20% on RT and an average of 3/10, clearly I’m not the only one who thinks this looks like a bore.

[Saul Goodman]

Yikes! What a waste of this cast.

[Cmasterclay]

DOR aside, the trailer for this was shockingly bad and it featured the worst acting I've ever seen from Bale.

[Pinacolada]

Both 60s on Metacritic are rotten on RT

 

I think only 1 or 2 of the reviews so far are actually factored into the average rating on RT

Terrible. Im so over Margot Robbie. 

 

Biggest awards season critical flop in the past decade.

 

I expected better from David O Russell.

She's stunning but she doesn't have the range of Emma Stone or even JLaw. She just plays the same variation of characters, even in Babylon it looks like she's playing a version of Harley/Sharon from OUATIH.

Even JLaw? J-Law is easily the best of the three mentioned, and both Stone and Robbie are very good.

Meh. Russell peaked with Spanking the Monkey.
