Listen, it's not a bad movie, not at all. but it's not a great movie either. it's fine, it's fun, it's entertaining, but certainly does not stand out. it doesn't present anything new to the table. which is sad, because this one had to be special. and also because we all know marvel studios are capable of so MUCH MORE. Let me elaborate, well first, the performances. Was it really that bland as alot of people predicted from the trailers? Unfortunately, yes. Brie Larson's performance was almost the worst thing about this movie. the whole time you're watching it's just her spilling out the lines, it feels emotionless and lacks any layers or depth. Though, to be fair this might be the writing's problem. Every line felt like they needed to make some sort of "catchphrase" out of. It felt like they were cramming the whole "see, she's a woman, and she's capable of doing stuff". which, in my opinion, it doesn't need to be. The movie felt like it was trying too hard to be empowering for women and all. But i would so much rather have a more consistent story line and some proper character development, instead of trying to be iconic in every frame. after all, it's a movie, a bit forgettable, but you can still, you know, enjoy watching and get a few laughs. mid-credits scene was pretty cool though!

Margot robbie definitely gave one of her greatest performances ever, yet the film had a lot of flaws there is a lot of confusing decisions made in this movie, the fact that they made the same actors do their teen-aging years and their 20 years later versions was kinda hard to believe and the way 'the incident" was delivered was a bit confusing too in fact, the way the whole story was delivered was not the greatest.

the performances was the only thing that made that whole movie bearable really, Margot Robbie did a great job playing her character and so did Allison Janney, her performance was so convincing i wanted to punch her in the face through out the entire movie sebastian stan's performance was kind of confusing though. i mean, he did have some moments that made me so believe him, but other than that i thought his squeaky attempt to impersonate jeff's voice (which turned out not being that squeaky in the real interview) was kinda disturbing, but that is a director's thing though, which brings us back to the wrong decisions

the movie in general made me question the reason why they did it, it somehow felt at some point that the producers themselves didn't know the actual truth behind the incident too

after all, it still had some touching moments and kinda felt enjoyable at some moments, although this feeling doesn't last so long but it's still a movie telling a story about a girl who stood for her dream but in no ordinary way.
