it was shit

Only watched it for Keaton, which was a good choice because he was fantastic and carried the film (obviously) is give it a 6.5/10 simply because the source material can only be so entertaining

Too many calories.

Pretty good. I wish McD's looked like that still.

Yeah the McDonalds' from the movies looked like a pleasant place to eat, not a grimy germ pit staffed by mexicans who always fuck up your order

/tv/ hated it. I thought it was okay.

I liked it, but it wasn't something I loved.

There were some sequences which were questionable early on, specifically the brothers recounting how McDonalds was initially founded. The scene within it where they're prototyping the restaurant is interesting. I don't know what they intended to do with the larger sequence though, it ended up being distracting somehow.

The editing is what repeatedly took me out of the film. I felt that there were too many scenes where the pacing was far too fast to let the production design have the impression it deserved. It's a period piece, and they paid a lot of attention to detail both generally and specifically - with the McDonalds restaurants themselves - so it's a shame when it's difficult to take it in due to the editing. See any scene with characters getting out of a car, or the scene of Keaton walking into a bank later in the film. Ridiculous amounts of cuts sometimes.

The little coda thing felt cheap, but I liked it.

most "yeah it was alright" movie of all time. no one will remember it

10/10 was okay

They went way too soft on Ray Kroc
