Review of Logan Lucky (2017) by Jpmanistan — 20 Aug 2017

I agree with all the negative reviewers. While this movie isn't awful, it is not funny. At all. Not a single person laughed once in the theater, and experience that I see is not uncommon. The actors do a decent job with a bad script. Very bad script. Choppy. Rote. Expository. Unfunny. Familiar. Way too long. Just bad. I didn't walk out, but I did leave to go to the bathroom and didn't hurry to go back. So many plot holes. Heists have to make sense. This one does not. It is totally unbelievable and just logically impossible. So it doesn't work.

But the worst thing is the 80 score on expert reviews and the 23:7 positive to negative ratio on user reviews. AM I TAKING CRAZY PILLS? I seriously believe some positive reviewers are paid or are bots. Many of the positive reviews just recite the plot and add generic comments like "funny!" I seriously think some people are cribbing from a press release from the studio to make $20-50. They have no individual comments. The negative reviews, OTOH, have personal stories about people walking out of the theater and are in very individual styles. Something is rotten here. If I had gone to see this based on the positive reviews I would have been p***ed. Be wary of the reviews of bad movies! Look for reviews written in unique voices. The positive ones are like an AI experiment, with their Uncanny Valley descriptions and phrasing.

Onion AV Club let me down too. This movie is not worth watching for free on Netflix, let alone going to see in a theater.
