it was kind of anticlimactic, it was too short and changed too much.

Rating: Null/10 (29 July 2018)

I can Appreciate what James Franco was going for in here and i can appreciate the love for the original movie and the love for the underground cult following that this movie has and the story behind it. I Can see that James Franco had the best intentions when making this movie and he tried his best at playing tommy,
and for the most part, it works and it was a great performance. He really is the best thing about the movie
But I have to admit that i felt underwhelmed when watching this. the movie didn't cover some of the most important parts of the book and some of the stuff they did cover was kind of anticlimactic, I was hoping for a funnier movie that showed more of the background behind the making of the room and not just a remake of those scenes in the movie. I was hoping for a closer look at the lives of the people making the movie and the people behind the camera. but we barely got any of that.
I can understand they only have a certain amount of time to tell this story but i was kind of baffled by some of the things they chose to do and some of the things they left out.
I also did not like how they changed so much from some of the aspects of the story, It is one thing to not have enough time to film everything and they are constricted by time, but why did they have to make up stuff? why create fictional events on a movie based on real life? it just didnt make much sense.
the movie was okay but it wasn't the greatest retelling i was hoping for
