"I loved my boy from the moment he opened his eyes,
Till the moment you closed them."
I finally watched it
after procrastinating on watching it for over 2 weeks for some reason
I finally was able to put that Blu-Ray in & press play
& I got to say
very much exceed my expectations
but at the same time, also kind of disappointed me
Let's start with the best & also maybe the worst aspect about the movie
& that is everything to do with Brad Pitt
like there was literally nothing wrong with this movie when Brad Pitt is on screen
my engagement level would go all the way up to 100%
& my enjoyment level goes up to over a 100%
just everything to do with Brad Pitt in this movie is perfect
& also, it just helps that Brad Pitt just gives maybe his best performance ever, here
like in just every metric, it was a perfect movie when he was on screen
so you think that would make this movie at 10/10 for me, since he's the main character
but he honestly doesn't have a lot of screen time in the first half
like if you only watched the first half of the movie & turned it off
I wouldn't blame you for thinking Orl&o Bloom & Eric Bana were the main characters
& also, it doesn't really help that the stuff outside of Brad Pitt always starts to get really good when Brad Pitt starts to appear more often
so you have like the first hour / hour & a half, that's kind of just solid
but you're kind of just left there waiting for when Brad Pitt would come back
really the only other character that would keep you entertain in that meantime was the “FUCK OFF!” God himself, Brian Cox
but everything outside of those 2 aspects, we're kind of just decent
like it was still good
but it was nowhere near as good as when Brad Pitt was on screen
The other thing about this movie I love is the 2nd half
cuz everything is just so much better in the half
not only do you get more Brad Pitt
but also all the stuff outside of Brad Pitt was also extremely engaging
& wasn't just decent
& the 3rd Act, man
WOW
Anyway, those are my thoughts
I didn't go in expecting me to make a review at all like this
but I'm happy I did
cuz I think it's kind of interesting how one singular character is kind of the glue that's holding this whole entire film together
which is kind of something I have never really noticed to this extent before
So if you're like me & you just have the over 3-hour cut of this movie just lying around
& you’ve just been putting it off because of the runtime (even though, just like me, you know you're used to 3-hour run times, but you just keep procrastinating it just because of that)
then be like me & finally just bite the fuckin’ bullet
cuz even though you might not be fully entertained in the 1st half
you are rewarded with maybe Brad Pitt's best performance ever
& also a pretty fuckin’ great 2nd half
Overall this movie really like showing Brad Pitt almost completely naked
