I'm not saying no one reviewed it I'm saying they're not really engaging with the subject matter. Very superficial reads of the movie.

You read all 245 reviews?

First, I read enough! I've read a bunch of reviews by the publications and people I respect, like the critic mentioned in my post (I don't really care what BobReviewsMovies.net says). Second - c'mon with that argument, really?

>(I don't really care what BobReviewsMovies.net says).

That isn't one of them, I checked.

>Second - c'mon with that argument, really?

This conversation seems disengenuous, to me.

Saw it yesterday in a theater 30 miles north of L.A where majority were 60+ year older people.

The first two hours were great and everyone laughed a lot. But once Tobey McGuire's character was introduced I thought it went off the rails and fizzled out.

I still enjoyed it overall but movie was very unfocused and long.

>it fell apart in the last hour or so

> I mean, they included fucking Tron - I highly doubt Chazelle thinks that's the pinnacle of filmmaking.

and um excuse me what? the fuck? Tron was amazing

I’ll never understand why people care so much about what critics think.

Good but not the pinnacle really

I think Babylon plays much better to us fans who like movies about 'Hollywood' than it does to critics and it is a bit of a rambling mess with some fun nuggets along the way. I don't think we need a different review process as much as a better movie

Sorry didn't realize I was tarnishing Tron's Legacy by saying it's not the pinnacle of filmmaking and more indicative of technological achievement.

I don't care if they like the movie or not. I like reading criticism, regardless of whether I agree with the opinion. My point was the criticism of Babylon seems undercooked. I'd rather read an insightful pan than a superficial rave.

I havent seen the movie, but your 2nd paragraph that summarizes the movie has got to be one of the most pretentious summations Ive ever read...

seriously, what you love about the movie is that it has diversity in the opening scene, antiseptic boxes, and LGBTQ and whitewashing?

I feel like you watched the movie with a progressive buzzword bingo card...

What in the fuck are you talking about?

Read the reviews and find out.
