I would be very interested to see the reason for such a low rating from people. I didn't find anything really out of place. It doesn't promote any bad values, acting is good, it's a relatable story for many and while there are some good ol' cheesy moments, the film is very good altogether. Certainly kept me interested WAY longer than movies with a similar rating. So I don't get the negative reviews at all.

At least for me, this was thoroughly higher quality than most slop from hollywood nowadays and I would watch it again. I only found this movie because I'm a fan of Steelheart and I'm glad I watched it. I think this deserves a high rating. Highly recommend.

I gave this a shot. I am familiar with Mr. Beast's content and kind of know what to expect. And well, it is essentially a big Mr Beast video with the same flaws and strengths as his usual content, but both sides are exaggerated. The production of the show is insane, sets are great, the show looks awesome and of course the prizes and such are exciting. This is what earns the stars I'm giving it. Clearly lots of talented people worked on this show and there's no denying its scale and production value.

However, what takes stars is more extensive. The vast majority of the games are very much luck based or trust based. The show rewards the person who is either most greedy, most selfish and has the least regard for others. That person gets a large sum of money, while good people get left in the dust with their dreams crushed and they can't do anything about it. Imagine spending several days on this show and competing, only to get eliminated because some greedy a-hole on your team decided to take a bribe. Even worse, the greedy ones can even stay in the game but eliminate everyone else. It's not entertainment, it hurts to watch and I don't understand how a human with any empathy can stand this show. It promotes wrong values of greed and selfishness.

The title of my review is that it's a reflection of modern times. More and more people struggle to afford basic needs like rent and food and so many people are willing to do anything for a little bit of money, regardless of how much it hurts others. And instead of addressing that, we are making a game show out of it. People's sad life stories and hopes and dreams that get crushed by a game of chance is entertaining right? Yea not for me.

Respect to the workers of the show for putting this together but in terms of actual substance I would give this a negative score if I could. This is the worst thing to promote in society right now.
