Gotta love a Luke rant!

After watching that juvenile slop called 'DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE', 'MEGALOPOLIS' is an artistic revelation. Coppola catered to this vision for the last 25 years plus and it showed. It was bold, audacious and in some parts psychedelic. Yes, it was a long in certain sections but the overall creative arc was outstanding. Yes, it's not for the masses because sublimely it touches upon The Tower of Babel, Greed, Lust, Anarchy, Power and The Architecture of the Mind,...so believe me, not everyone is going to get into this movie. However, what Coppola and that cast and crew conveyed was that art, commerce, culture and creativity can be used to hopefully uplift and elevate the human mind and thinking and by creating and financing 'MEGALOPOIS' on his own, FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA has certainly done that. - James D. Watkins, artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.

I genuinely feel like this film was a complete anomaly done by Francis
Even Ridley Scott continues to make movies "slightly" better

[@rocksnot952]

Sure, Coppola can't make a bad film - we just don't understand his art.

[@RommelEarlDigo-qq6bp]

maybe it is Francis Ford Copolla's daughter Sophia Copolla who directed this mess

Hey Luke you know if you find Michael bay movies any of them pleasant to watch and not assaulting or insulting
