It's all good, man
I just tried this again, and, admittedly, I might have enjoyed it when I was 6 years old, but, as an adult, it was worse than dog shit.

It's reminded me very much of Snyder's sucker punch. A quite fun idea on paper that was executed in quite a mind bogglingly bad way. I think this is what annoys me most, these could easily have been good films, but were let down with quite obvious and fundamental flaws. Sucker Punch for instance. In the opening our heroine gets pummeled buy a ten meter samurai monster and thrown the length of a football pitch. . . . But just gets up, she does not appear to be hurt at all. From here on in there is no jeopardy in any of the long drawn out CGI fight sequences. Everyone is fine . . . until they are not, as the script demands. This is only one example of the films multiple schoolboy errors. It's frustrating because It could have been an amazing, fun, stylised, multi layered film, but it's just utterly boring. This is not down to studio interference, it's a running Snyder theme.

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
I love Tig Notaro, here she is talking about that pic
(Whole interview is worth a watch if you're a fan of hers, also she and Colbert are pretty funny together)

I Am A Hero is based on a manga thing and it's in a different league to this load of ol' shit. I Am a Hero (2015) - IMDb

I watched it because there's so much chat about it and it's not as bad as expected. I was fairly well entertained.
I found it hard from the beginning to properly make out what everyone was saying - especially Dave Bautista - so I decided to basically ignore the dialogue and just watch the fun parts. And it was quite fun!

Ultimately this. I have no allegiances to the film but I wonder if some of the criticism was prompted because the director is fairly high profile and people expected a much better quality film.
To put it another way, if I were invited to a preview screening of a new film simply described as an action zombie heist film, and without being told who wrote or directed it, if I decided to go to the cinema on that basis I would have certainly left pretty satisfied. I mean, what else would you expect in that basic premise?
I’d be interested to hear from those who thought this was shit to see if they could picture themselves agreeing to go to a screening in such circumstances, and if so what their honest appraisal might have been at the end still not knowing who had written or directed it.

I don't think so. There are other really bad films on Netflix, but they don't have such a big budget or marketing and nobody is talking about them. I wasn't expecting something great but I really wasn't expecting such a stinker either.
I think I have seen enough utter big budget shit from my blind cinema press screening movie review days to know it would not have made any difference. Perhaps more annoyance at being made to go to the cinema and waste three hours.
It's a massive turd, and pre perceptions are only going to make so much difference.
Mute on Netflix is also a big budget, big director sci fi film with top acting talent and a fun concept that is an example of mind bogglingly terrible filmmaking. . . But it doesn't have a thread and nobody is talking about it.
