It is quite good. You can sense the limitations of the source material but even so.

When I saw the CGI effects, I rolled my eyes at first. So few films of this ilk have depended so fully on the casting and the person directing it.

Everything that wasn't Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton having a conversation in a hotel was 👎

The second story was the hem one. I enjoyed the staging of the third and the self-playing lyre in the first.

They were all stupid because they told the story while Idris Elba told the story in voice over

i was heavily into this movie until it moved to london, that last chunk of it was not great. still appreciate that george miller got to make it and it's playing mainstream theaters

The racist old biddies were a bit much.

I liked most of the backstory stuff, very lush

Oh yeah, "Did you guys know about BREXIT" like 85% of the way through the movie.

I would have seriously enjoyed this as a one-act play that never left the hotel room

i acknowledge everyone’s criticisms but i adored this open-hearted simultaneously psychedelic and meditative film

I liked the large amount of untranslated dialogue (and everything else)

Yeah, it keeps growing in my mind. It might've been a Studio Ghibli film.

Only a 2-hour Blank Check ep, oddly enough

I saw this this weekend. I thought it was pretty good at first, but as mentioned above, I keep thinking about it, feels like the kind of movie that will become better over time.

And contrary to many I liked the ending, really like the way the 3 wishes played out.

I appreciate all the praise from you folks, because even as a Miller fan this is kind of the last thing I feel like watching. But I should give it a shot.
