We refunded...

All I can say is that the Coens are better than this. Made no effort to make anything even seem significant in their own movie, pretty much just all fluff with a wasted cast. Was expecting their genuine wit but only really got that from the scene between Fiennes and Alden Ehrenreich. I'll still be interested in what they do next though, but this really didn't have much behind it regardless of how much they actually could have done with the story line. The communist kidnapping could have been a more comedic nod to last year's Trumbo instead it's just there so that Clooney's Whitlock gets kidnapped and Brolin has to set out to get him back so the studio doesn't panic (not even that much thought put into the central plot itself).

I didn't think it was bad, but I also didn't particularly enjoy it, and in fact seriously considered taking a nap during the viewing.

Not only did the trailer show the good parts, but it strung them together in such a way that was far more entertaining than the movie itself.

My wife and I got suckered in by the trailer. Sounded like it would be full of laughs. It had only a few chuckles. The plot was a mess of separate scenes that didn't connect and about 85% of this was a weak drama.

Only good thing was, the theater gave us two free passes to see another show. They did this in advance when we bought the matinee tickets, which were discounted from their usual morning matinee prices. Guess they were handling a problem before the show, rather than deal with angry people after the fact.

The theater was a bit less than half full when we saw it Sunday morning. At the end, there was no applause, and almost nobody seemed to be talking about it on the way out. It seemed like everyone was just thinking, "What was this stupid thing all about?"

I wish I'd done the same! I kept waiting and waiting. I shouldve left. Waste of money.

You've all convinced me I should stand up for myself whenever I don't like the things I take a risk on. From now on whenever I lose money in the stock market I'll just ask for a refund from the company whose stock lost money. And whenever I go on a date and I don't get laid I'll ask for a refund on any expenses I incurred, plus reimbursement for time lost. And if I father a child and that has an IQ less than 130 I'll just send it back to the hospital and get a refund for all the things I had to buy to have it in the first place. Being a douche sure does have its advantages!

What's the rule on this?



"You couldn't be much further from the truth" - several

You pays your money you takes your chances.
That's the rule.
Asking for a refund when there are no false pretenses is absurd.
You go, you pick one of the 7 or 11 movies, then you take what you get. Even if it's just one movie in the cinema, which is rare. But even if it's one - you take what you get.
Suppose, for example, you don't like the movie much when you walk out of the theater and demand a refund? You get your money back. A day or two later you're thinking that the movie was actually good. This in fact happened to me with Hail Caesar so it's not that far fetched. Well, should the person then go back to the theater and return the money? If they have any conscience they should - but then they shouldn't have demanded a refund in the first place. There are no guarantees in life except death.
Not even taxes if your a multi-billion corporation in the United States.
