Saw "Gone Girl" for the first time. I don't understand the praise.

What utter rubbish.

I liked it until.... well, until the ENORMOUS plot holes started piling up.

Should I list them?

I sort of agree. It was good but from all the praise I heard going into it, I was expecting to see one of the greatest movies I had ever seen.

I agree her story explaining her "abduction" lacked any semblance of credibility which definitely made the ending disappointing. Overall I still enjoyed the movie. Many movies pretty much require you to check your brain at the door to enjoy them. To some extent it's due to the nature of the beast: a 2 hour production that adequately develops characters, tells a story and has a satisfying conclusion.

Why not just watch the damn movie and be entertained and just go with the story instead of trying to make it plausible and/or realistic?

Do you only start threads to say how overrated a movie is?

Crazy how astute the detective woman was and then to not DESTROY that bullshite story when she came home. It borders on insulting the audience

Movie legit pissed me off

So Gone Girl sucks, Boyhood sucks, Birdman was s disappointment, Orphan Black has a stupid premise, Edge of Tomorrow sucks because its insulting to Groundhogs Day, and the movie Titus is you favorite Shakespearian movie adaptation...maybe your taste in Movie/TV sucks and shouldn't be taken very seriously. Just sayin.

I enjoyed it, but man I read some thoughts on here afterwards and can't believe how much some people have hyped it up. It's practically a high-quality Lifetime movie.

Rosamund was fantastic, and I did not see the twist coming. But the last 20 minutes or so are just absurd

It's like it wanted to be a satire but it wasn't funny enough for that. It had no likable characterS. Not one.

For once, you're right.

Plot holes so big you could fly a 747 through em. Relies on characters being stupid to advance the plot

I didn't really enjoy the movie at all. I was impressed with Affleck's performance though.

neither did I. It was pretty predictable, anti-climactic, and, like you said, replete with holes.

I really enjoyed it....until about the last 30 minutes or so.

It was too long and just ran out of steam at the end. I'm all for surprises in movies, but this one had too many twists and turns.
