This movie hit me in all the feels. It follows three kids throughout a school year, and having read the book, these kids were perfectly cast. It's hard to believe that none of them have acted before considering that they dealt with such heavy subject matter like complete professionals. The adults in this movie were also incredible, and in fact I can't think of a single weak link when it comes to the acting (which is usually not the case in microbudget movies!). Shout out to Ms Hina whose facial expressions spoke volumes throughout the movie. The visuals are on point, and it feels like each shot was crafted with purpose and intent, even if that intent was to reflect the chaos of a particular scene. Plus, the story. The story! It was refreshing to see the humanity behind a community that's so often only represented by stereotypes. It was raw, it was beautiful, it was heartbreaking, and it was real. Thank you for this.

I absolutely haaated Suicide Squad so I was prepared to hate this one as well, but was pleasantly surprised! Yeah some of the writing is cheesy, but that's DC for you. It's not perfect (I wish Huntress was used better, for one) but it was enjoyable and laugh-out-loud funny at moments and I really hope they go through with making the trilogy. Stop down voting the movie if you haven't seen it, let people make up their own minds!

I loved this movie. It was funny, and a great homage to the original. I think the only downfall was that the comedic chops of Kristin Wiig and Melissa McCarthy weren't put to good use. They can be funny! Let them be funny! I think they definitely knew there would be a lot of people mad about the gender swap, so they played it a bit too safe. But Kate McKinnon is awesome and made me laugh out loud several times. Chris Hemsworth played the dumb blonde really well (a role typically reserved for women, imagine that?!).

All the people complaining about it "ruining their childhoods" - how many Spidermans have their been? How many Batmans? Get over it. This was a fun reboot and it was awesome to see women in charge for a change, without them being just a hot chick or a love interest.

I hope there's a sequel so they can branch out a bit more and really make the crybabies weep that their complete gaslighting of this movie didn't work.
