I was disappointed to say the least

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2017)

Words can't explain the high hopes I had going into this film. The premise was super intriguing, and the cast was great, not to mention the director. Unfortunately what became of that was boredom, and confusion. I really did understand the satire that was taking place, but being "in" on the jokes didn't seem to help make me laugh. The character of Dr. Strangelove really confused me, since reviewers are saying the performance was amazing and hilarious... I'm not sure what I missed there. Maybe if I knew to look out for how amazing it was supposed to be, I would've received it better, but on its own merits, I found the character to be bizarre, not in a good way, and overplayed when on the screen for more than a minute. I really really really wanted to like this film, but maybe only being 19 when I watched it, I wasn't born with the right mindset for this satire.
