So badWatching this film, it is hard to fathom what they were thinking. Had to stop halfway as ran out of patience. Other reviews here have been too kind. How can this be the same director as LaLaLand?.Score: 2/5

Very sad sign of the de-evolution‼️This could've been a great film. They rely too much on unhinged debauchery when lacking in substance. They missed the mark on depicting the soul of old Hollywood. It was completely infiltrated by modern perspective, and soulless sexuality and violence. Is this a new trend for Hollywood? If so, I'm tuning out. I'm not interested in riding the entertainment de-evolutionarily train and its efforts to use shock and star power in replacement of substantiative, writing, directing, acting, and production. ‼️A special note regarding the hyper-violence and masochism: This is a dealbreaker. You've gone WAY too far slipping this in and producing such foul debauchery! You're extremely off the mark and you have lost an audience!! We will now go out of our way to stay away from films with these stars, directors, and producers who have been involved in this and sold out to debauchery in lieu of talent..Score: 1/5
Might be better then Avatar 2I just have a couple things to say about this masterpiece of a film. This film is better then Avatar 2. I rather spend 3 hrs watching Babylon then Avatar. Don’t get me wrong Avatar 2 is a good movie just not a personal favorite. Just because this movie is 3 hrs long doesn’t mean it’s a bad movie. From start to finish I enjoyed it. This movie didn’t feel like a slow movie like avatar my. Everyone in the cast did a incredible job. The only thing that really bothered me was that Tobey Maguire needed more screen time and more advertisement in the film because all I can hear when he appeared was “look it’s Spider-Man!” Like yeah we know we saw the trailer. That’s really my only complaint about the film. I would really love a sequel on how Hollywood made it from back and white to how it is now. Just a suggestion..Score: 5/5

Thoroughly enjoyed itThe critics are nuts. Yes it’s a bit long, but it’s exhilarating and fabulously entertaining. Best of all, it’s an original movie and isn’t yet another superhero movie where a bunch of cartoon characters beat up New York City for the hundredth time..Score: 5/5

Not quite...Let me say first I am a fan of Damien Chazelle and I went into this with high expectations and of course hoped it would be great. And it wasn't. Despite the scale and spectacle, and a couple of great set pieces, the movie was confusing and tonally all over the map. At times, it kind of felt like Chazelle was himself making sport of what he was creating and it didn't really work for me. Some key moments are also telegraphed so obviously that it takes away from them. I did like the performances overall, especially Diego Calva. But the gross-out stuff finally kind of killed it for me. And Monty Python did it better. And I gave this three stars but would take away half of one if I could..Score: 3/5
An Average Guy’s ReviewAfter seeing it 2x, I find it an entertaining movie. I don’t think it’s a masterpiece nor a flop. But despite some flaws, it was a very enjoyable film for me. I’m not a film critic, but I think it’s worth a watch. (I usually watch syfy & horror, so this was a nice change of pace for me)..Score: 4/5

Fantastic, just rather crudeMy only complaint is that it’s unnecessarily crude and sexual in some scenes. I’m not a prude, it just detracted from the story. Otherwise, it’s a beautiful film & feels like a sister to La La Land. Shame to see this one flounder at the box office..Score: 4/5
Not for everyoneI’ll begin by saying this movie isn’t for everyone and is quite an hommage to the old hollywood and how it changes trough time. The first time I watch time movie in theatre I didn’t really know what to think about it. Was kinda confuse, but really intrigued. The same week I found myself thinking a lot about this movie and enjoying it more and more. I rewatch it yesterday and it’s quite a good movie. The score, the acting, the set pieces, incredible. Damian Chazzel knows what he’s doing. The flaws might be in his 3h run, with some scene not really necessary and the repetitiveness of Margot Robbie’s character (we already knew what was coming for her and took maybe too much time to get there)..Score: 4/5
