It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
