    Individually, scenes are amazing. But as a movie? A complete waste of time. That’s why it flopped, because it was just rich people burning money for absolutely nothing.

    I’m one of those people. Knew about it for a while cause I’m a movie nerd but I read the plot.

    It sounded like rich people indulging in hedonism.

    Didn’t peak my interest.

    I’m not sure anyone will be thinking anything about it in 20 years.

    Don’t think I even finished it, the only thing it had going for it was Margot Robbie.

    The real question is, why didn’t more people see Amsterdam?

    It’s 7.1 on imdb… Is that the right one? How did a movie so well reviewed flop?

      Critical success does not always translate to financial success.

      Box office gross is not an indicator of a film’s quality, or lack thereof.
