Please watch this movie if you are a moron.

Oh... Gone Girl... where to start? The movie starts off pretty good. There is a mystery and it is interesting. There are some holes, but you can ignore them and keep watching to see what happens. The mood is somewhat eerie, thanks to the directing, cinematography, and music. Then, the answer to the mystery is revealed and it all goes downhill from there. It spikes slightly after a bit, but then the last 20 minutes or so are so bafflingly stupid, embarrassingly idiotic, and difficult to watch... like Lifetime movie psychotic. None of the characters are likable. None of the characters are intelligent. I cannot think of a single movie with more plot holes. I will not list any of them so as not to spoil the film for those of you brave enough to watch it, and also because so many previous reviewers have eloquently laid them out.
I am not going to give this movie a 1, because I can't say there were no positives. It looked nice throughout. Ben Affleck's performance was solid. Rosamund Pike definitely did not deserve an Oscar nomination. I enjoyed the scene involving a box-cutter, because I am a sick and morbid f*@k. The beginning of the film was enjoyable enough... but that's about it. So I gave it a 5. But the more I think about Gone Girl, the worse I think about it. So that 5 may become a 4.
Please, don't watch this movie. Instead watch an Ernest movie, it will be equally stupid but an hour shorter.
