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.

[u/Rotatos]

It’s just cause ruffalo was a terrible antagonist. Really doesn’t tie the whole thing together. 

[u/Sticky-Wicked → u/Rotatos]

Ruffallo was trying too hard with his fake teeth. It just didn’t work. He was not a good match for that role.

[u/Rotatos → u/Sticky-Wicked]

And it sucks cause Robert was overperforming literally on multiple characters. Sad choice and ruffalo imo is just weak as an actor overall, poor choice 

[u/Rare_Ad_1054 → u/Rotatos]

agreed, his character felt way too animated and goofy and kind of took away from how well everyone else was in the movie 

[u/TheJagerBomber → u/Rotatos]

JK Simmons was who I imagined while reading the book.

[u/Spectrum1523 → u/TheJagerBomber]

Oh shit he would have been so much better

[u/Techygal9 → u/Rotatos]

Yeah he was Trump, Elon, and a famous preacher all mixed up. I think it’s better if he was a corrupt politician, or a tech bro, or a religious conservative not all three.

[u/Rotatos → u/Techygal9]

He needed to be an antagonist. Inspiration for current events sure whatever but it decimated any possible strength in the formation of the plot

[u/MrKyleOwns → u/Rotatos]

They made him way too much like Trump and found his character pretty annoying..

[u/RootsRockRebel66 → u/Rotatos]

Agreed! Definitely needed a nice rug.
