The Life of Chuck (Mike Flanagan, June 6, 2025) Movie • Page 2

Found it.

 

yeah, i get why some people don't like this, but this wasn't godawful. i personally liked most of it.

 

I just skimmed that article and feel like all of that was pretty obvious? Film is still bad.

 

Chiwetel, Karen Gillan, Rahul, Matthew Lillard, and Tom Hiddleston is an insanely attractive group of people

I liked this minus Mark Hammil sounding like Krusty the clown's dad but I get how you can find this too saccharine , also Sloane still hot

 

Elaborate, what didn't you like? Put some thought to it.

 

I liked this. Was super put off and unsure on the first act (or act 3 I guess…) but I thought the rest was moving and I enjoyed it.

 

saccharine isn’t a strong enough word. it felt like a film student’s idea of something deep and moving and none of it landed for me. the writing and acting were bad. just nothing worked for me. don’t feel the need to elaborate beyond that for a film I did not enjoy.

 

Yeah, I guess I can see why it would bounce off someone, and truth be told, I don't think the message really landed with me either. It felt pretty inoffensive and didn't feel like it had any of the deeper struggle of King's other non-horror works to drive the message home. I mean, why do I even care about this kid?

Then again, this was a short story, so I'm not sure it was really meant to be a movie length production. It's definitely a weird choice for Flanagan to take on, and on that note, you said you skimmed the article, but did you read the section at the end? About the guy the film was dedicated to? Honestly, I feel like that's more moving than the film.

I enjoyed watching Tom Hiddleston dance though.

 

yeah I did read that but and I agree, honestly my favorite part was the drums.

 

You know it is bad because the trailer does that little thing where it shows a few seconds of the trailer to announce that is a trailer.

 

But yeah why do I care about this kid? He sees a vision of himself dying and he says I am large I contain multitudes and then he lives a whatever life as an accountant and we just seem him dance once and he dies?

The first 1/3 was somewhat interesting and then ultimately it just doesn’t matter at all.

 

Way too much dancing

 

I for one would’ve taken more dancing

 

I was completely allergic to the tone. I guess “act three” was the strongest since it was somewhat interesting. But after that, I was actually cringing through most of the run time. Bad performances, awful voice over, nothing emotionally that grabbed me, etc

 

Yeah the voiceover did not work for me at all

 

the whole point is that every human being has a story that matters and is inherently important, except for you of course

 

This was not at all what I was expecting to say the least lol

 

I found it hilarious that a bunch of horror related promos happened before the movie when I saw it, probably because of the King-Flanagan connection, and I'm just like "but it's not a horror movie..."

 

All the power going out while he was talking to that girl rollerblading made me jump though.

 

Bad

 

to nobody's surprise, this is already the Worst Thread

 

if you liked it what did you like about it?
