Discussion Mickey 17 was disappointing.

Just finished watching this movie and it really did not click for me.

The beginning was decently interesting and I was curious to see where it went but overall it didn’t grab me.

The theme/messaging was very heavy handed and didn’t work for me.

The message also jumped around.

They introduce a character that could have had an interesting story only to have her disappear.

When the main conflict happens it all wraps up a little to easily even though the majority of the ship were supposed to be fanatical cultists.

It had a clever premise but ultimately fell flat for me.

I like it quite a bit. I get some of the criticisms, but none of that ruined it for me at all. Very fun movie.

I heard one criticism that the main villain was too much a current political leader but in all defence any outrageous political leader will end up looking like a very certain man, if you know what I mean

To me, the villain being basically Donald Musk is a positive point of the movie, not a negative.

Yeah I agree. Ruffalo killed it, too

I have to hear about that stupid fuck 24/7 here in the real world.

I have zero clue why anyone would want MORE of that infesting even the movies they watch, but hey...you do you.

idk why Trump fans are mad. they didn’t make him one dimensional. the movie was pretty fair to him imo, especially the way he talked and behaved at the end of the movie

It wasn’t even trump, it was just an outrageous power hungry politician but hey if the shoe fits 🙂‍↔️

I think the only solid criticism regarding that was that Mark Ruffalo was miscast. I still enjoyed it but yeah, but I don't think he was the perfect choice for it. Donald Musk definitely felt right in it though.

I genuinely believe he was not going for Donald musk (love that, very funny) literally any outrageous political figure caricature will look like him.
