Wow, talk about overrated

Rating: 5/10 (7 April 2018)

I love movies. Moviepass allows me to see almost every movie I desire too. I use Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB to decide if a movie is reviewed well enough not to waste my time. 96% fresh on IMDB and 8.2 here, well, let's go.
Unfortunately it appears our reviewers have become complacent and overly generous. I expect, in this day and age that movies are not produced for the sole purpose of having those producers just be able to claim "hey, I made a movie." I want a movie, depending on its genre to measure up. If it is a horror/scary movie, I expect to be scared. I back story or origin story should be present too. Then I want some character development. Who are the people I am watching, what is their background? Education, knowledge base, social relationships, etc. If there is a bad guy, or threat, I would like the back story for that character too. "Get Out," while being one of the best movies in a long time, clicked all the boxes.
With a movie that had been so trailer heavy for so long, I fully expected a decent budget and something that is professionally filmed and engineered. We do get that here.
This isn't quite a spoiler, but the movie I watched had this water infiltrate from where exactly?? Also, back to my other expectations. I like a movie to be appropriately long to click the previous boxes and if the director or writer is just too lazy to treat the paying customer with answers to those questions, well you better be damn sure I am sitting on the edge of my seat or ready to jump out of it for almost the entirety of the film. This movie does have some suspense but most is just filler and makes no sense. I felt like some of the sets were stolen from the Walking Dead.
Since we paid for the movie and have an expectation of how long it will be, how about instead of wasting our time with 20 minutes of previews you actually take 5 more minutes to give a conclusive ending? I don't want be left thinking, "well that's clearly going to be the solution but how exactly is it going to be implemented?"
This movie definitely had potential. I could see it being a miniseries or even a TV show. As for the over inflated reviews, it's not an 8.2. It probably isn't even a 7. Scenes occur out of nowhere and it was a lazy wrap of a film. Unfortunately because so many will rush to see it bc of these reviews, it will most likely make a lot of money and further encourage the directors and producers to continue to churn out inferior products.
