Am I strange for not loving Everything Everywhere All At Once? (lemmy.world)

Just got around to watching it for the first time tonight. We had so many people tell us we'd love it and need to watch it, so it was high on our list. Great cast, and it won so many awards.

I didn't hate it, but I was left scratching my head over all the hype. I like odd movies and books, so it's not that I couldn't handle the weirdness. It seemed like in the same vein as Scott Pilgrim, and if you told me it wasn't a bit box office but got a cult following, I'd totally believe that.

My wife felt exactly the same way. Maybe it's just one of those cases where there was too much hype for us, but I felt kind of let down.

Yea I was kinda disappointed. I especially found the ending to be rather melodramatic

That was my biggest complaint. It's not a bad movie and I enjoyed it, but the resolution was really unsatisfying and simply did not deliver on the promises of the first two acts.
