It certainly has merit, but it came across a bit like a stage play, but one that hadn't had enough of a run to tighten it up a bit. It's bleak and desperately sad, and despite some funny moments, it really isn't a comedy. The three leads are great. However it's more a darker version of Waiting for Godot rather than "In Bruges" or "the Guard"

I have to disagree,it's not really meant to be funny unless in a kind of tragic way.Also nobody said is was going to be a remake of In Bruges ? Just because it's the same director,could of made the comparison to Three Billboards....it's a standalone film that your either going to love or hate.I loved it.The setting and the cinemetoghy make it worthwhile alone.

I don't think you do disagree as that's pretty much my view, and what I was at least trying to say too. I should clarify that despite me saying it had merit, I can't say I exactly enjoyed it either

I think I've only seen the first one; is Part 2 unmentionably bad?? :-/

So here's the thing about movies like Night at the Museum et at: they just are not my type of movie. But if I'm in the right mood and just want to not think about anything, it's a great movie to watch with the kids. I enjoy it that they enjoy it and that makes me enjoy it more. If that makes sense.

Avatar - The Way of Water.

Decent enough film and enjoyed it.

CGI was incredible.

Messy and slightly confusing start although all was explained in first 15 minutes or so.

Very laboured storyline in the middle of the film - would have been a better film if edited to around a couple of hours.

Underwater action was v.clever but the forest action in the original film was more engaging.

7/10

It would be good if cinemas reprised intermissions - 3hrs 12mins is a long, long watch without a break.

Sounds like thirsty work.
