I enjoyed it, like any Ridley Scott movie the costume, set, lighting cinematography were next level artistic but when I saw Matt Damons character I saw Matt Damon, when I saw Adam Drivers character I saw Adam Driver, when I saw Ben Affleck I saw Ben Affleck.

Ridley Scott - im confused a bit by this huge surge in work hes putting in the past 5 years or so ... dudes an old man and seems like hes made more the past 5 years vs his entire career. I find most of his movies to droll on a bit but visually hes the man, and he can tell a good story.

I thought was Belfast was a little disappointing. I would like a comprehensive movie about the Troubles in Northern Ireland as it’s a fascinating situation.

Nightmare Alley was good, not great. With an ending that was lacking.

A great movie I saw recently was The Card Counter. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11196036/.
