Wow Amsterdam is doing so bad. Just based off the stacked cast you'd think it'd get a lot more butts in seats. I was planning to give it a go this weekend. Is the lack of a clear plot hurting this movie? Are people just tired of DOR's shit? Might just save it for a future airplane movie and go see Black Adam instead.

Deadly combo of bad reviews + no hype. The trailers were confusing and dull at the same time. No one was excited for this movie. No one even knows what it’s about.

This is one of the few times the trailer was an accurate depiction of the movie.

And by the time you figure out what it's about, you don't care and just want it to be over.

To think all these actors wanted to work with a predator so badly for the potential oscar

I went to see Amsterdam 2 days ago. Sure, it has some clear weakness like overexplaining a lot of things, confusing early and dragged end of movie, I also felt like there were way too many filler scenes which achieved nothing, but I still enjoyed that movie. Solid 6/10.

Wife and I saw it last weekend, and I was also surprised at the negative reviews. It had issues, but the reviews made it seem like it was some unwatchable piece of garbage.

That's the word of mouth I'm hearing from people who've seen it. It's not a great movie, but a lot of the hate is overblown. I'm hearing it's more average to good, then "awful".

There’s like 3-5 ensemble movies either coming or currently out. It got lost in the shuffle for me
