Both were great

To the passing reader: I'd strongly recommend both, and would be less quick to dismiss the artistic merit of the movie in question. Whereas Marvel movies try to overlay a meaning onto plot, this to me feels like the reverse: the creators had something to say and found an unbelievably imaginative way to say it. There's quite a bit of depth, and lots of space for you to find something meaningful to you different than the person next to you. Personally, I wouldn't even watch the trailer. There's an element of coming to terms with one's lost potential, and the backdrop of that against the meaningless of existence that I found really relatable and powerful. I laughed, cried, I was moved.

  Seconded. It’s seemingly better if you have no idea what to expect. I took my girlfriend to see it last week on a “blind movie date” where she didn’t even know what we were seeing. She is someone who never goes to theaters and isn’t anywhere as passionate about film as I am. She borders on indifferent. This is all to say that she was deeply DEEPLY touched by the film’s message. We solemnly left the theater and when we got into the car she broke down and bawled her eyes out because she didn’t want to make a scene in the theater. It really is a spectacular, unique, absurd, hilarious film with a great message at it’s core. It is a type of film that comes around every ten years if we’re lucky. Daniels absolutely nailed it.

I understand that you guys want people to be open-minded. But there is so much space in one's mind. In this day an age you have to be selective and filter aggressively.

  If you filter out this movie, you should really think long and hard about your filter. It’s really that good. I know for a fact that I’ve never seen anything as inventive before in my life, and I think there’s a good chance I never will again. On top of that, it’s very emotionally rich.

  You're filtering it out because it's chinese. It's not racist, but biased because it doesn't feature... I'll stop right there

    I am filtering out because I am tired of Marvel, marvel derivatives, anything with a main character and superpowers. I do love international films and seeing what different cultures can create. I feel sad when they imitate the lowest that we have to offer in terms of filmmaking.
