Brian and I saw "Bad Times at the El Royale" this afternoon. Is it weird to feel disappointed by a movie that has some real potential? I mean, Brian and I both felt like this movie was almost, almost really good. The cast was intriguing. The storylines were interesting. And visually, it was attractive.
The idea of a group of people meeting at a random hotel with their own stories and paths, and then clashing in some pretty spectacular ways, has some real merit. Especially when it's written by someone like, say Tarantino. Which this obviously was not.
It was slowly paced, but had an ending I didn't entirely expect. I think I love the idea of this film more than the actual film, and that's pretty disappointing. I actually liked this movie, though it may not sound like it.
