The movie is just "eh" nothing wow about it

I thought it would be much better judging from the rave reviews i read but like you said it was just average/maybe a bit good.

This movie you really have to watch carefully.
There is a lot of significance to just about everything that
happens, but you miss it because it is not spoon fed to us.
I thought it was pretty good, but it occupies a niche somewhere
between fiction and a documentary.

You can watch Citizen 4, which is really boring and does not
have that much information in it,but then watch Snowden
and it makes more sense, because it sort of happens during
the same events of Citizen 4.

I liked the movie more than I thought I would, but, yes, it is
more of an important movie than a good one.

I would not watch it to pass the time, as the only reason to
watch it is to understand more about Ed Snowden. Of course
you can watch primary You-Tube videos and get a better
understanding of that.

Our government is playing us all for fools, and who is it
they are protecting and blowing things up for ... American
and Global billionaire oligarchs who do not seem to give
a damn about the citizens or any of the developed countries.
