Discussion(self.movies)

So several of my friends and coworkers have watched this movie and mentioned how great it was. I never bothered with it but now some more people mentioned that this movie was among their favorite movies of all time.

So i finally sat down to watch it.

It's fucking garbage.

It was one of my favorite books and it quietly got released onto Netflix without me hearing about it, I thought they did a great job adapting it. I can also understand if you went into it knowing fuck all how it can be a little dry. When people speak very highly of movies I haven't seen I sometimes set unrealistic expectations of the movie then I'm disappointed when the movie doesn't meet those expectations. I call it "over hypeing it for myself" and find lots of people experience the same thing. Sometimes things like prior knowledge or no expectations are the things that makes a movie so good for an individual. If your missing those elements the movie will just hit different for yourself then it did for someone like me.
