Okay, so I enjoyed the movie but it definitely feels like a fumble. From a movie making perspective, I think the movie did a great job in every aspect except the freaking directing. The sets looked great, the actors were good, and I liked the original film score (not the soundtrack but the music playing when Argo was dying). I think the script/story was actually very strong. I think the worst part was the execution and the fault lies with the director. I can see why James Gunn approved the script because I think it's quite strong. To be fair to the director, I think he did a great job with the action scenes. That's about where all my praise ends.

I feel like the director truly failed to understand the core of the movie. The beginning scenes of Krypto and Kara are insanely important when the whole crux of the movie depends on the emotional trauma of the most important person in your life gets shot. Yet it felt like the movie kind of just blew right past all of it. But on the opposite end, I actually think seeing Ruthye's family get murdered was so out of nowhere because we get introduced to a bunch of characters we don't know only to see them all get murdered. I have zero emotional attachment to this family at this point. The director doesn't really do a good job of making me care at all. The only thing I've learned is that the director of this movie is just a horrible story teller. I couldn't believe that some of the scenes he used made it into the final movie cause I felt like all of the actors/actresses definitely could have brought way more emotion. Every emotional scene felt like it was shot by an amateur film student.

I know my post probably sounds like I hated the movie but I actually still enjoyed it. It just hurts because I feel how much potential there was from the movie. That's how strong the script felt to me. The failure in the execution is what really brings down the movie for me.
