Just Watched Lucy

I've watched this movie as well, and I have a hard time believing that there are Many movies that are Way worse than this one. It got painful there at the end.

Wolf man
Legion
Don Jon
Mad Max
Waterworld

Actually that's all I can think of right now. I know my Mad Max condemnation will rustle jimmies, but I really hated that movie. I guess I'd put Lucy at the same level of Waterworld as both being movies that started off interestingly.

I hated the tired premise of using 100% of the brain, and I never understood why any brain could defy the laws of physics. Even still, it was where she started reading cell phone radio waves or whatever the hell she did that I had enough. The ending was terrible, but it was the kind of movie where there just wasnt going to be a satisfactory ending. A big problem is she never had a real nemesis.

My review from October.

Wow. I don't even know where to start. Setting aside the rapid evolution, does ANYTHING make sense in this movie?

Was Walter's Crystal Blue a recreational drug or did they know from the start it could be used for rapid evolution? Doesn't seem like they knew or they would have taken better care of it instead of sending half zonked mules to ship it.

Who actually made the crap and what was the whole point of the opening 20 minutes? That whole drug delivery scene made no sense and seemed bizarre just for the sake of the movie.

If it was just a drug that was going to be sold and cut for European kids, then why did the Korean go so batshit bonkers, taking on the cops over such a small batch of the crap?

Couldn't he make more or just buy more? Why did Lucy keep leaving some bad guys alive when she had zero problem killing bad or even innocent people?

If she was so smart and could track everything, why not kill the bad guys? If she was so smart and could do almost anything, why couldn't she just synthesize the drug herself?

The direction was horrible ( silly flashing back and forth with wildlife). The dialog was painful at times.

I liked the core concept, but damn the movie was poorly executed. I seem to recall people saying to stay away but I was bored

The whole movie was a major flaw.

I liked the premise of the rapid evolution. Liked the episodes in STTNG and SG1 when it happened so I liked the basic premise.

Just the whole rest of the movie was garbage and made no sense.

Seemed like a script that went through 20 rewrites and each new writer kept pieces of the previous script but the new material didn't even try to be consistent with the past.

That movie was fricking terrible.

I wish the myth of people only using 10% of their brain would die.

Lucy the first 20-30 minutes works well, it starts going down hill fast after she is given the drug.

The turning into a god like being comes from a number of religions that believe one can become a god, which is not a good primus for a movie and takes much from the movie in the end.

A better ending would have had her die from the lack of effects of the drug or become a vegetable.

Wasted near 90 minutes of film.

Strengthen the middle with a better sub plot and the ending should be darker.
