When this film came out I made being Oliver Pike my whole entire character for several months. I kind of still love it a little for giving me that, not to mention for Paul Reubens hamming it up with aplomb. Oh, and you can have endless fun telling fans of the TV show that this film is better.
Like is a good word choice. I have always wanted to love the movie but it just isn’t going to happen. Lots of good stuff going on, and what a cast! Too bad it’s so sloppy. Also I think dying on the hill of great writers are get it done regardless of time or word count restraint is perfectly sensible.
Feels like sometimes, if I'm at the movies, my mood fluctuates.
But if I'm at home, man, I got somewhere to go, stuff to do! Tap out at 117 MAX, and IDEALLY 88 before the credits.
Sad to say, these days, just about every movie is too long. But, if it's a studio movie, a length of less than 100 implies something is wrong with this one. Didn't used to be like that. Today's studio movies have made me distrust a 90 minute length, and I cannot forgive this!

That is amazing. And true story - love to be a contrarian 🤣
Thoroughly recommend it - as a contrarian you'll have a ball!

I watched it just willing it to be better, haha. But it is what it is! And I accept it for that.
Love this blog. Please, movies, 90 minutes or less.
Thank you! And seriously, I can’t be sitting through three hours of CGI anymore 😫

That's fair! Sometimes the short runtime can feel like something was hacked to shit, but in reality it's an artform!
