🥴 I Watched MEGALOPOLIS So You Don’t Have To | Movie Review

Francis Ford Coppola’s "Megalopolis" is finally in theater this weekend and it's an experience to get through in every way. Can I wholeheartedly recommend it? Absolutely not. But it's a fascinating, glorious mess that is unlike anything I've seen before in theaters.

► TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - "Megalopolis" is a glorious mess
02:13 - Chaotic and unfocused
04:25 - All of these actors are in different movies
05:54 - Visuals, themes, and bizarre sh*t all around
07:50 - Is it a misunderstood masterpiece?
08:52 - Final thoughts

One of the Polish reviews: "Your stoned buddy spends 2 hours telling you about the fall of the Roman Empire in comparison to today. Wonderful brothel."

This movie feels like being at a frat party and getting cornered by a first year Sociology major who's had a few too many and wants to talk at you about how they just read Ayn Rand for the first time.

Jon Voight is going to be shocked when he finds out he was in this movie.

[markhernden]

Of all the movies I've ever seen, this is the most recent.

I don't think we're ever going to see another cut of this movie. Because Coppola had total creative control, this *is* the director's cut.

A lady left during the movie saying she had enough 😂

[LectionARICCLARK]

Everyone involved, including Coppola, bought his reputation as a "genius" and then made an unhinged bad movie arguing that we need a misunderstood genius great man with a muse wife to save us from the other bad great men.

Sounds like there's too much movie in this movie

It was the worst movie going experience I have ever had. I was miserable. About 40 minutes in you realize it isn't going to get any better and your left for nearly another 2 hours with a false sense of hope that something will happen to turn things around. It never does. By the end you will be just begging for it to end so you can go about your business. It was artsy fartsy nonsense. I honestly hated every minute of it. I've never felt so disconnected from something I was wanting and trying so hard to get into.

To quote Peter Griffin about Copolla movies: *"It insists upon itself."*

[dukeon]

I need a spinoff that focuses intensely on Aubrey Plaza’s character

[kenboydart]

To answer your question as to why Dustin Hoffman was in this film it’s because John Voight was also in this film think of midnight cowboy. I can’t think of any other reason.

[marcemerson]

This is Coppola trying to do Fellini.
Megalopolis is no La Dolce Vita.

[horsetoothcinema]

One of the most egotistical movies I’ve ever seen. I don’t necessarily regret seeing it, but I hated it lol

[oliviastratton]

Adam Driver's delivery of the "go back to the club" line got a laugh out of me.

[MadcapMatt]

You nailed exactly how I felt watching this on a full-size IMAX screen. I was entertained but confused for almost 2 hours of the runtime. Somewhere between 15 anf 30 minutes I understood the plot. Beautiful movie with beautiful people. Aubrey Plaza was my favorite part as well. Definitely one of the most unintentionally funny movies I've seen all year... maybe ever.

[Artbymackerson]

Half the audience left the theatre. It was really hard to get through it

[CHRISTOPHER--ze]

The hat scene “You, pick up my hat.” “You, pick up my hat.” “You, pick up my hat.” got a good chuckle out of me

It's like Brazil meets Caligula viewed through a Spy Kids lens and buried under fifteen pounds of shit 😂

[ryanrobotham]

Everything I hear about this says this was meant to be a throwback to the New Hollywood era, only to reenforce the egos and hubris that ended it in the first place.

I saw this movie today. I was slumped in my cinema seat in disbelief half the time. The thing that redeemed the experience was delighting in the confused reactions telling my friends about it. Every ten minutes I remember a wild thing that happened in this movie I had forgotten about because the movie itself glosses over it minutes later. Watching this video made me go “oh yeah there was a Russian satellite that crashed and destroyed part of the city… you’d think the movie would have treated that as a bigger deal”
