I wish I and everyone else had gotten to see the movie that you did. Because what we saw was something different apparently

Incorrect.

All of that was anything but obvious as far as the movie goes.

...in your opinion. Which is not shared by several others in this thread who seem to have understood it just fine.

You largely have to assume that, or the character comes off as unlikable

Why do you think the character must meet your definition of likeable for the movie to be good? Don't answer that to me, ask yourself and then think about the answer you come up with.

Show, don't tell.

You not getting what was shown does not mean you weren't shown. The showing occurred and you either didn't get it or are pretending you don't get it because you don't like the message.

An extra ten minutes on the runtime for a couple extra scenes and some tweaked dialogue would have

...been an artistic compromise to satisfy the lackluster attitudes of the lowest intellectual denominator among moviegoers. Plenty of movies to suit that mindset are made every year. Stop insisting every movie be dumbed down to suit you.

Have a nice day. Byebye now.

I understood the movie just fine. It's legitimately the reason I can point out that there was bad writing.

You are arguing against a statement or claim I never made. And there are just as many people here who share my views, whatever that means.
