anyone else think american psycho is overrated?

[gray walrus]

Definitely not a bad movie but not as good as everyone says it is

[true harbor]

I'd agree, though I haven't watched the entire movie, it kind of bored me and kinda bummed me out

[novel peak]

it's very good, but yeah people sometimes miss the whole point of the movie

[signal arrow]

Overrated asf

[shrewd radish]

Ofcourse, the 2nd movie is overhated however - most hate it because of the sheer cult following of the first

And the 2nd has nothing to do with the first

[hoary pivot]

Totally agree, it was an alright satire for me but certainly not the masterpiece some proclaim it as

[errant root]

I have to disagree. It’s vision has proven apt, thus an undeniably well- aged film. I’d suspect it could be a timeless script, very well if not perfectly adapted in 2000. Other films totally have more substance though

[solid valley]

nah its still great

[golden sage]

It wasn't for me either but I think I've been spoiled with so many good movies, I might have had an impossible expectation for it.

[paper nacelle]

Good movie, overhyped by people who think Patrick Bateman is a sigma unironically lol

[bold topaz]

I think the movie isn't at all bad, and the setting makes it seem like every 90s movie set in an office. It's just highly praised by edgy teenagers who love the "masculine" and "sigma male" thought process, meanwhile they don't even bother to see that American Psyco was made by a woman 😂

Yeah, ever since the rise of gigma males and ultra super mega xtreme turbo chads. Probably haven't even seen the damn movie though, and would probably need subway surfers or gta to be playing underneath to satisfy they attention span, anyone who's been on tiktok before y'all know what I'm talking bout 😂

[jaunty dirge]

absolutely

[bright night]

Nah. Still as good now as it was back then. Consistently & deservedly celebrated. Still the most innovative, original 'slasher' of this century. Will stand the test of time, with good reason.

[gray walrus]

it really is amazing. what is the point according to you tho

[gray walrus]

yes it is a really cool movie. it leaves the viewer with so many questions tho. i think i would preferred it as a book ins.

[bright night]

The film is based on a book. American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis, published in 1991. i hope that helps

[solid valley]

Im currently reading it

[bright night]

Ah, nice! Enjoy, enjoy ☺️👍

[gray walrus]

Yep i know. The difference is a book doesn't have to ans all the questions unlike a movie does

[bright night]

I don't mind ambiguous endings in movies! As long as it serves the overall experience. But I understand your preference

[gray walrus]

do you prefer books over movies? prolly otherway round

[bright night]

I prefer films for entertainment, but i also read a lot of books for education purposes (so basically non-fiction. I never read fiction! 😮 lol) how about you?

[gray walrus]

i prefer fictional books not really for educational purposes

but i do love films

[bright night]

I enjoy a good autobiography especially

[gray walrus]

which ones your fav?

[bright night]

I read a lot of books about film! 😄 Easy Riders, Raging Bulls by Peter Biskind is a good one

[gray walrus]

ooh ill search for it surely

[gray walrus]

[bright night]

No, I have studied film in the past though. You?

[gray walrus]

i just like movies. not like mcu but good films with a good story line and amazing characters

[bright night]

Ah yeah, that's nice. A bonafide cinephile then!

[gray walrus]
