Megalopolis sounds like a Transformer that turns into a city.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

There's actually a fox animated series Close to that name.

[@marceliner85]

There is a character named Metroplex that turns into a city lol

[@GlitzBog]

It’s a good thing the theater I watch this in was dead empty, because John Voight shooting Shia LaBeouf in the ass with a bow and arrow TWICE gave me the biggest laugh of the year 😂

Fine, fine actors, didn’t like the movie.

[@edwardicus4]

Wait, the two main characters are named JULIA & CEASAR? Who wrote this, Brian Griffin?

[@wilcee238]

He probably wrote it faster than the speed of love.

[@adampellett4917]

Lionsgate is becoming THE WORST STUDIO IN HOLLYWOOD PERIOD! They made movies BOX OFFICE BOMBS in 2024. I think if A24 taking over that studio, I'll be a Christmas miracle. Lionsgate's worst year yet.

[@michaelstrong5383]

As controversial as that trailer with the critics' "quotes" were, it was right about one thing: Francis Ford Coppola hasn't made a great movie in quite a long time, and Megalopolis is no exception.

[@leorolando1924]

Korey and Martin brushed him off but respect to Julien for the MAD GOD reference. What a fucking insane movie that is.

[@mandem3426]

Yeah they gotta stop blowing him off so quickly, he often makes interesting points and references that they’re quick to dismiss. Not saying they needed to stop the show and do a deep dive on Mad God but as you said it’s an interesting reference

[@JukeTheRonin]

I was hoping this film would be good but it put me to sleep

[@shumworld]

I was into the film, but at the same time I was looking at the clock.

[@JukeTheRonin]

This film is a FU I hate to say it

[@lordofthereels6790]

Watch The Outsiders, Patton or The Conversation instead, those are FFC gems that need more love.

[@michaelstrong5383]

The Outsiders and The Conversation are both fantastic!

[@JoeChillton]

The Neil Breen-ness of this film...project is astounding You have a self insert that can do...anything with no explanation and is every thing at once from a sex pest to an addict to a mutant to a genius A fake world that never feels real, and awful green screen Terrible dialogue feeling outta a bad stage play Empty characters that might as well by cardboard like LaBeouf

[@alisterfolson]

The movie: a take-out pizza that gets hooked up with extra toppings you appreciate, but didn't ask for.

[@lordofthereels6790]

Also FFC's recent reedit of The Godfather 3 was pretty damn good. It's still a far cry as a followup to Godfather 2 but he definitely made it from an ok movie into at least a good to pretty great flick.

[@Shadowman4710]

Yeah, I never thought Godfather 3 was bad. It's just not great..

[@jackyoung8059]

The stage show pitch is genius. Would’ve been more digestible and understandable that way. There’s even a perfect break for an intermission

[@HappyKat-wc4ld]

Agreed!!

[@kinggreen5424]

One of the best movies I’ve seen in a while. A total masterpiece.

[@Solo_Sessums]

The part that pisses me off the most is i just know it's going to get academy award nomination, not because of its exceptional quality, but just because its francis ford copola, and they just love patting him and their inner circle on the back. Plus i bet whatever money he's got left is gonna be used to buy his way in. Because that's all these useless awards care about. Money and facades, not any actual quality of art.

[@Cassie00111]

maybe an academy award for costumes.. nothing else

[@bawse420]

This is not getting an academy award for jack 💩

[@CableWatson]

I agree costume design yes...nothing else...movie is atrocious

[@fragileguyguy7226]

At least Hayao Miyazaki made good films that did warrant the awards they received.

[@mrdexs]

The set had to be horrible working with Jon Voight. Babbling on about how Trump is going to save America. 😂

[@PerfidiousAdrian]

It's a sequel to "Jack"

[@michaelsinger4638]

Shia LaBeouf is supposed to be Caligula essentially, I THINK?

[@RazorRex]

I have no plans to see this film. After learning, Francis Ford Coppola protected and enabled that creep Victor Salva I’m not supporting his future work.

[@stephennootens916]

I sadly got that joke.

[@cyro1079]

Francis Ford Floppola's Megaflopolis: the messy, overstuffed and aggressively indulgent fable that made Beau is Afraid look like Marvel movies.

[@nickmoney]

In 1992, he self financed One From the Heart for 29 million (92 million today) and that bombed hard to such an extreme he had to file for bankruptcy for the THIRD TIME! That's why he did so much for 20 years that was "below him". After every studio declined for 30 years, maybe just maybe he should have accepted it. There was unproduced and unreleased Bob Dylan songs discovered and people hated it, but remember it wasn't released for a reason and MegaFlopulus should have been the same, just a what if never seen.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

What is going on with these legendary directors lately john woo Francis Ford coopla? The magic just left these guy's. Can't get that thrill of directing anymore. Watch your back Martin scorcese And tim Burton.

[@fangal12]

I think it's because they reach a point where they no longer care about the audience. They feel like they're established enough to create their vision without interference and no one will tell him no. Even Scorcese has become overindulgent. That's why all his movies recently are so drawn out

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

[@omaridaniels8427]

I saw this and I'm convinced that Adam Driver had no dialogue- Coppola just let him do and say whatever he wanted.

[@Omar-wq9dz]

You have to give props to Francis Ford Coppola for making this movie without compromise. People may not like it, but he stuck to his vision no matter what

[@wilcee238]

So did Neil Breen and I’ll laugh at him too.

[@codyrivera6219]

Imagine being the author of the book adaptation for this.

[@Hi-fd4cw]

This movie is like Brazil (the movie from the 80s) if it were less entertaining and huffing its own fumes was its only personality trait

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

49% on Rotten Tomatoes “More of a creative manifesto than a cogent narrative feature, Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis is an overstuffed opus that's equal parts stimulating and slapdash.” CinemaSnob gave it a D

Maybe there will be a new cut made that can fix things for streaming and Blu-ray, it sounds on paper like a movie worth seeing.

[@aaronwilson4267]

Francis wants to be young and experimental again. I respect the determination, but sometimes it's best to let things go. It's not the 70's.

[@80MWH]

Regarding why Cesar doesn’t just stop time and make everything go his way, it’s most likely that he is trying to still play by some semblance of “the rules.” Coppola is really digging deep into a number of films from the cinemas that put concept and ideas over a general narrative. There may be a hint in Cesar’s talk of “we are in need of a great debate about the future.” The idea that a lot of people are talking, but most of humanity is focused on what they can grasp in the present, whereas opening up the mind to consider the future is not something many will do.

Has nobody brought up that Francis Ford Copala ripped this movie off of four books down to names and story points but doesn't credit or pay estates of any of the authors. So FFC's passion project in essence is all plagiarized work of others passion projects?

This movie is the artistic equivalent on The Chubby Bunny Challenge. It has so much it wants to say that it physically chokes on its meaning, symbolism, metaphors, and what not.

[@trembledust6819]

tbh Lionsgate actually made money off the Megalopolis deal as Coppala paid Lionsgate to distribute the film but yea they have not been having a great track record this year.

[@scottboswell6406]

It sounds like Shia was Caligula, the emperor who 'married' his sister, his horse, and did lots of other crazy things. Cicero was a famous philosopher, orator, and statesman. You can see the bones of what Coppola was trying for, but this sounds like it would have worked better as a tv series where the characters had to be developed.
