Im confused as to how it’s all over the place with its tone? Like we see this early violence to show where Tom comes from, who he’s gonna deal with and from there it unravels how this quaint small town family man has built a fake life which he struggles with trying to keep or ending the circle because of how being this violent impacts his family (since he doesn’t want his son to be like him but he’s obviously preaching from the jail cell at this point). It’s also pretty true to the comic outside of the end changing almost simply to condense characters since Richie is the boss instead of being tortured by the boss who tom has to put out of misery.

Cronenberg isn’t that good, is the answer.

It’s not terrible but Cronenberg basically depicts humans as if he’s an alien who doesn’t quite understand them. And that’s very uncanny in a unique way

Atypical for Cronenberg but actually very good

I love the performances but the script is a mess. This feels like a project that so didn’t fit Cronenberg

You might enjoy the movie more if it had some superheroes in it like Aquaman

There is a strangeness to the acting in many scenes. But it works……..strangely enough

This is a fantastic movie!! So real. He did not Hollywood it up, which is a good thing.

It's one of the best comic book movies of all time. It's such a good neo-Western. It's smart, well acted, perfectly paced, and is just so well written all around.

I don’t think it needs much breaking down. This is the closest thing to a mainstream movie David Cronenberg has made since maybe The Fly?

The most easily accesible Cronenberg films and these pretentious critics act like they are poison.

I very much enjoy it, it’s one of my favorites. I did find some parts of it a little less credible than previous watches.

Cronenberg is a genius; he uses all genres but still maintains his signature style

Pretty consistently deliberate choices by Cronenberg it seems. I was on set for this way back in 2004 & the choices were intentional, the shooting script itself was very much the same tone as the completed movie. In terms of pacing, dialogue etc It was certainly a choice!
