🙇It Just Didn't Work For me. It was an Absolute Letdown🙇
28 April 2024
Just Got Out of a Boy Kills World Screening.

  • 👎The Main Reason this Film Started to Get Boring as Hell (Until the Very End Hallway Shootout Scene and the Very Ending 2 Vs 1 fight, Great Manoeuvres in both those Segments) is because Bill Skarsgards Character Doesn't Actually Speak(he has this inner voice over Which is amusing at first, but then runs out after around 15 minutes), the Problem with this Filmaking Decision is that, us the audience are not engaged with the Character, which leads to an absolute bore of a watch.


  • 👎Secondly, you have this character that adds another shot of absolute boredom into the film because he speaks gibberish words, which again keeps up the disengagement with the film.


  • 👎The Jokes weren't Funny, the cinema was dead silent


  • 👎At this point I was out, I didn't care about what was going on, people were checking their phones, one guy was sleeping in the back row, and this couple got up and left the cinema around halfway through the film.


  • 👎Some of the Action Scenes weren't that good


  • 👎 Where's the World Building? Build the World.


  • 👎When it got to the Plotline reveal(which was kinda interesting), I didn't care, I was checked out.


  • 👎 Most of the characters were either boring as hell, or Completely Wasted


Positives -

  • 💃The Costume Designs, the Set Designs and the tone was Great.


  • 🎮Jessica Rothe - I loved her character design, straight out of a Video Game, and her character has an amazing fight in the Very End fight.


  • 🎮Michelle Dockery - She Looked Great, Great Costume, she literally looked like a side scrolling video game boss at stage 4.


  • 💊Yayan Ruhian - Great Fight Choreography in the Very End Fight.


  • 🥊The very ending hallway shootout was good and the very ending 2 Vs 1 fight was Excellent, some of the moves in the warehouse fight in the first act were good.


Overall, it was a Completely Missed Opportunity, it should of had Bill Skarsgards Character speak, keep the energy as a high energy stage to stage type deal, literally like a side scroll video game. And introduce even more Hyperreal, video game type characters.
