Misleadingly high ratings

Rating: 1/10 (15 November 2015)

A movie is like making a cake. You add in the ingredients, mix in the batter and then you bake it. If you mess up on the baking part, it's not a cake. It belongs to the garbage bin.
'Gone Girl' is watchable and sometimes even good during the first 2/3rds of the movie. But it messes up big time on the final lap. It undoes everything good about the plot and turns it into an idiotic mix of silly patched up plot lines with loads of flaws and plot holes. There was potential in the plot, coupled with some good acting, but then again, what's a cake if it's not baked properly. It belongs to the garbage bin. Save yourself the trouble of watching this movie. It might be the best decision you ever make.
