I don’t even have any notes yet just finished watching and I highly recommend.

    I watched it a few nights back and although I thought it was well-made, well-acted, and entertaining, here are the few minor gripes I had with it:

    1. The first 40 minutes were spoiled by the trailers. It felt like I was waiting for the movie to get going for a while. That’s more of a criticism of modern trailers than the movie itself though.

    2. The deus ex machina ending felt anticlimactic:

    spoiler

    That the council could/would just immediately band together to oust Ruffalo once they saw his abuses for the first time via one Google Glass recording felt very unrealistic and immediately negated the stakes of the whole movie imo

    Overall I enjoyed the movie and think it’s worth watching once, but I don’t think I have a desire to watch it again.

      I didn’t really watch any trailers and watched it last night. I posted in the group chat with my friends that it was pretty mid during the first 40. Came out with the opinion that it was decent at the end if a bit cheesy.

        Actually it sounds like you’re making the very same point I was trying to make, that it was unrealistic that

        The good guys would immediately oust Ruffalo’s character to right the wrongs he perpetrated
