I haven’t read the original book but I enjoyed the movie, which felt like it mostly earned its big, melodramatic heartstring-tugging moments.

I really want to rate this higher, but it just doesn’t embrace the weirdness of Tsutomu Nihei’s manga as much as I would like.
I know nothing about ZZ Top’s music (other than the obvious hits) but I really enjoyed this.
Though I appreciate what Chloé Zhao tried to do here, the results were flat and unremarkable. Also, when is the MCU ever going to address the giant Celestial corpse in the ocean?
I can’t remember the last time I hated a movie as much as I hated this one.
An absolute train wreck. A fascinating train wreck. But a train wreck, nevertheless.
Really enjoyable action scenes, but the comedy was too broad and over-the-top. Still undecided as to whether I’ll watch the sequel or not.
