Watching the brutalist. Jesus Christ does this movie ever end? Feels like forever and there is still an hour and a half left. Finish it another day.

Did anyone actually watch the Snow White remake? My kids are kind of old to really care and I'm by and large skeptical on Disney's remakes.
But 1.7 on IMDB? Thats pretty rough.

It’s being review bombed because Rachel Zegler said something pro-Palestine on social media.

Who cares what Rachel Zegler says? Everything I've seen of her in the media is that she's clueless. I couldnt name another film she's done without looking it up.
The real question is...was the movie really that bad? I mean, I know nothing about this Zegler character, but I do know that Gadot would have difficulty acting her way out of a wet paper bag.
So...for anyone who has actually seen it, disregarding review bombing, how would you rate it?

Rachel is cool, funny, and down to earth. It took guts to keep that message up when the studio told her to take it down. The low rating is definitely due to people reacting to it. So, no, the film likely isn't that bad, although I doubt it's any good if other live-action remakes are to go by. I have no plan to watch it because #### Disney.

If it interests you I would recommend Final Destination Bloodlines. Decent acting, serviceable plot l, well made and most importantly funny and gory elaborate Rube Goldberg esque situational kills.

Going off a hunch, I’d say bad reviews are 50% review bombs and 50% old boomers who still can’t get over non-animated Disney films.

I find that odd.
Like...why would a bunch of old people even care? It's a children's story.
Find your Prince Charming and True Love! And some really chill dwarves.

I have some friends who are big Disney fans. They went to see it, and from their review, a 1 is being generous.
I doubt that the score is just "review bombing", which seems to be a pretty convenient excuse these days. Movies can just be bad movies. Doesn't mean they are getting 'review bombed'.
One of their biggest complaints, for instance, is that it's not actually Snow White. Disney changed so much that they might as well have claimed it was a new movie and given it a different title.
I left your synopsis of Snow White because...nothing like that happens in this current one. There is no "Prince Charming" nor is there any 'finding love' (much less True Love).
Which is the main complaint from anyone I know who went to see it. There's nothing actually "Snow White" about this, aside from some of the general plot beats. Are there probably some folks who gave it a low score because of the actors political beliefs? Sure, probably.
But beyond that...it's just a bad movie.

Yikes.
I mean...I dont know much about 'Review Bombing' but hell...I'm a Star Trek fan and I thought 'Section 31' getting a '3' was very generous.
Not good. But either way...I think Disney can take it on the chin.

I saw the new Snow White and while I didn't love it, it's certainly not any worse than all the other Disney live action remakes. It's certainly not the worst movie I've ever seen, I'd rather watch this than the Independence Day sequel.

Disney monetized free old folk tales to build their Empire, trust me, I have no sympathy for them. When they screw up and screw up hard I take a fair degree of pleasure in it.

Woof....that is a low, low bar.
What is the worst movie you've ever seen? That ought to be interesting.

"The Amateur" was a nice break from the movies filled with special effects and all the blood and gore. It actually had a good storyline that kept you involved right up to the end.

So the movie you haven’t seen and won’t watch has bad ratings because of people reacting to it and isn’t that bad
Even though you haven’t seen it
And have no plan too
Amazing

Yes, because I’ve seen discussions online about doing so. And because of articles like this saying it was being done. Still amazed?

Well that was one of the weirdest movies I’ve ever seen. Holy crap. I actually think I liked it but cannot even start to explain why. Lars von trier weird euro bizarre. Loose ends that never get tied, gay rape scene out of nowhere.
I need someone here to watch it and explain what the fata that was.
