This was everything I expected it to be. A ridiculous story, fabulous action scenes, silly one liners, funny and brilliant. If you are expecting the same experience as Oppenheimer you will be very upset, if you want a fun couple of hours to just forget about the outside world, go for it. I don't understand the negative scores, if you went to see this expecting something else, you really didn't do your research and have never seen the Meg. I'm really not sure what you expected. As for 'this is the worst film I've ever seen' this doesn't come close for me. I'm glad I went, totally enjoyed myself, came out smiling.

Being UK based and over 60 years old I found this film a little to close to home and therefore so very powerful. It was funny, beautiful and so very sad. It was Alan Bennett all over. Everything was very small and beautifully presented. There was not an ounce of energy wasted, it was all perfectly placed. All the main characters had a tiny vignette which gave them enough of a back story to make them real people. The doctor was from a society that holds dear it's elderly and silently struggles to understand why his patients aren't held in the same high esteem. The film ends with the Doctors monolog praising the people of the NHS and so it should. A political piece, probably but more a piece about our attitudes to the elderly.
