Everything everywhere all at once. The hype made this a let down, it wasn't even that good and I love weird thought provoking sci fi. This was just a goofy movie that is forgetable

Oh, I'm so glad you were not a fan. I thought I was the only one. The hype from friends was overwhelming, and I was excited to see it. BUT my wife and I couldn't finish the movie. The idea that she was THE worst version of herself was interesting, but everything else was just absurd.

There Will Be Blood. Wooden acting, almost nothing happens, the soundtrack is earsplitting noise, but everyone loves it because of the "milkshake" meme at the end.
Fuck that movie. Walked out on it halfway through, read about what "happened" afterwards later (spoiler: fucking nothing) and regret nothing.
An alternative way of saying you don't enjoy subtext.
What did you think of No Country (same year, similarly dark, more action and different theming)
Is that a blockbuster though? PTA movies are more on the art house side in my opinion
Sure seemed like one from the amount of fucking goddamn hype it got.
It was a big hit when it came out, I remember that (I'm not sure why it made such a big splash). I also remember walking out and feeling underwhelmed because it was so hyped up (I was also 10 years younger). I've since become more familiar with Paul Thomas Anderson's work and have a better understanding now. I can tell you, There Will Be Blood is a masterclass in production and storytelling. But I also understand it's not very appealing narrative and may turn many off.
