The Circle

"▪️Even though this movie has a really low IMDB score, I wanted to watch this movie for 2 reasons: It has a good cast (Tom Hanks along with Patton Oswalt play two co-founders of a giant tech company, & Emma Watson plays a new employee), & I MOSTLY was excited for it’s premise about ideas & issues concerning #surveillance & invasive #technology 🆚 one’s right to privacy. (The cast also includes John Boyega in a #mysterious role & a handful of other big name actors). ▪️MY THOUGHTS: This movie had a really strong & #interesting FIRST HALF — The intro really sucked me in — I liked how the interviewer guy spitballed with Emma Watson’s character just to see if she’d be a good fit for the company, AND, after she had been hired, I got a good laugh out of the two “creepy” employees who were sent to integrate her into this mysterious company — HOWEVER, I suppose there just wasn’t enough dramatic tension or a big climax, and, ultimately, it had an ending that was almost “too neatly” wrapped up…. Nevertheless, I’d still #recommend this 👍🏾 So, come join The Circle ⭕️, you guppy “Circlers,” and don’t forget to drink the Koolaide! 😉 #hbomax #thriller #drama #science_fiction "

"Probably the only Tom Hanks movie I've seen that I didn't like. I was just kinda bored the whole time, and so it was rather disappointing. "

"Not an awful movie like the ratings suggest but it’s also not as great as it could have been if the story had been better expanded on . But overall for me it wasn’t a bad watch. 6.8/10"

"Excuse me? Why does this have to have a good cast, yet essentially no plot?? There was no proper climax and nothing to resolve. Barely any drama and no proper ending for peace of mind. It was just all ideas and futuristic stuff that didn’t expose anything or have despicable antagonists for the protagonist to fight. Kinda boring but I hate to say that since it stars Hanks :/"

"A movie that has great potential, but squanders it in an attempt to seem more important than it is. "

"(2017) It is an okay movie that's worth watching for its insightful themes about privacy and social media. Tom Hanks is creepy as the CEO, and Emma Watson does a solid job as the main character. The film's commentary on our surveilled world is timely, but the ending feels abrupt and unsatisfying. 6/10"

"Doesn’t deserve 1 star "

"It’s okay."

"I read the book & looked forward to the movie… it was good but the ending needed to be expanded upon. As usual, book was much better than the movie "

"Great cast"
