Mountainhead

it was... not bad. Nothing groundbreaking, but it kept me hooked enough to sit through the whole thing without complaining. 7/10.

The first hour really took me in, with strong “Succession” vibes. It struggled a bit through the middle — there really isn’t a proper second act. And as soon as it gets to the sauna, I think it leaves a lot on the table. I could imagine a much more interesting plot twist at the end that I think this all comes down to a huge opportunity missed.

I absolutely love Succession so, I was really looking forward to this. I couldn't have been more disappointed, incredibly average in every aspect. I struggled to get through it in all honesty.

Disappointing.

Cory Michael Smith plays The Riddler AGAIN and there’s no Batman AGAIN!

I have no idea what this movie was trying to achieve. It’s riddled with technical inaccuracies and misrepresents the behavior of the people it portrays. Set in what appears to be a luxury chalet in Davos, Switzerland, the film completely wastes its setting—neither the architecture nor the surrounding landscape is used to any visual advantage. And the writing? It feels like it was generated by ChatGPT.

🙄

A complete waste of time.

The first half, while necessary, is a real drag to get through but when you finally summon the will to accept the absurdity of it all you can kind of get close to potentially enjoying it. Can't imagine ever intentionally rewatching this though.

I liked the bit where you can hear him chopping fruit while we see of shot with no one chopping.

Highly disappointed. If you are an average user, you've heard AI, but to follow what these "kids" plus failing Steve Carell were even talking about you have to be in the IT industry. My (75 year old) mom wouldn't understand this movie. I'm in IT, and thought this might be the worst interpretation on this subject that I have seen yet.

Giving up after 20 minutes seems not interesting at all

I tried to stay awake, but the pacing and overall story sent me straight to 'Mountainbed'. The cast initially pulled me into watching, and the themes kept me waiting for something that ended up being nothing. Steve Carell, Cory Smith, and Ramy Youssef as billionaires were great choices, although the satire didn't really click with me, and the acting felt somewhat flat. I know the ultra-wealthy usually are ultra-weird, but it just felt unrealistic. Unlike the story, which felt extremely realistic, only predictably slow and underwhelming.
