It was okay, I don't get the obsession everybody has though

Rating: 5/10 (10 October 2015)

This movie was HIGHLY recommended by a very good friend of mine, Miles Teller and JK Simmons are good actors so I thought, why not give it a shot? I kinda regret it now...
Pro's: Teller and Simmons really did a "GOOD JOB" on playing their parts, the music (when played in longer sequences) was well-formed, the camera team did an awesome job in capturing the very intense sequences.
Con's: the amount of swearing....SO unrealistic, WHO talks like that? Simmon's Flatcher was SOOOO over the top, WHAT school even pays such a teacher!? Also, almost NO plot, two side characters (Teller's almost-gf, his dad) that were absolutely unnecessary to both character development and plot. Additionally, Fletcher seemed like a total psychopath with severe schizophrenia to me who even got what he wanted in the end by being the biggest dick.
My Verdict: I had A lot of wtaf-moments, was entertained by the intense drum playing and Miles's acting but I absolutely don't understand the overall hype and a rating of 8,5 on IMDb. I wouldn't watch it again.
