I watched it for the first time and while the theme is completely correct that capitalists are soulless husks who can get away with anything, I don’t really understand the hype around it
Overrated is an empty criticism. It’s not a statement about the film, it’s basically just complaining that other people like it too much.
People liking things (that aren’t problematic) isn’t a problem. If you like it less just keep it moving and find something you like more.
How about when they like the thing for a problematic reason, such as being inspired to join the military because Call of Duty?
Its the best and most realistic depiction of how real wealthy people behave in a fictional film. The only other film that comes close is Knives Out. Edit: Also Sorry To Bother You
It’s worse than that to me.
Most people that have talked to me about that movie idolize Patrick Bateman and completely missed the message. I’m not saying that everyone that watched it did the same, but those that liked the movie enough to bring it up want to be the American Psycho. :joker-amerikkklap:

You hang out with some weird people
Its impeccable style and visual design, the humor, and of course Christian Bale’s performance that was so fucking perfect he could start sweating on cue
Also the dialogue is so quotable because it’s so fucking insane
