Why do people Lap Up Mr Robot Then?


I don't get it. You can see why this film had such a big budget. The topic is so current, great cast, locations, story, characters, director and visuals.

Yet why do critics/people rave about Mr Robot and completely pan this? I mean, Evil Corp? come on.

Because it's much better

Great cast is pretty debatable. I thought Leehom Wang really stood out as having done a great job and that most of the rest either felt miscast, mediocre or backgrounded. I would have liked Koster on screen with more actual dialogue and really hundreds of choices would have been more fitting than Hemsworth.

I haven't seen the movie, but I just gotta say, I finally gave in to the Mr. Robot curiosity two weeks ago, it's right up my alley, and I found it really dull. Just talking about the pilot episode.

It felt so artificial, it was trying too hard, the actor was a little annoying but his character even moreso. It wasn't a bad pilot, just didn't give me a single reason to continue.

I read reviews that mention how the season really goes downhill at episode 3, so I'm not even going to bother trying #2. One is enough for me.

As for Blackhat, it sounds like it might be good for some unintended humor.

because mr robot dumbed it down for the retarded populace. blackhat typically did not
