Am I strange for not loving Everything Everywhere All At Once? (lemmy.world)

Just got around to watching it for the first time tonight. We had so many people tell us we'd love it and need to watch it, so it was high on our list. Great cast, and it won so many awards.

I didn't hate it, but I was left scratching my head over all the hype. I like odd movies and books, so it's not that I couldn't handle the weirdness. It seemed like in the same vein as Scott Pilgrim, and if you told me it wasn't a bit box office but got a cult following, I'd totally believe that.

My wife felt exactly the same way. Maybe it's just one of those cases where there was too much hype for us, but I felt kind of let down.

Which I didn't personally, but my wife certainly did.

I got the underlying story - it was obvious early on what made the villain - and it was sweet, just not that remarkable.

You didn't think Racoonatouille was funny as shit? I lost it at that part.

Otherwise it was an alright movie, pretty solid, obvious heart string pulling story line. I liked the no matter what universe they are in they end up together schtick, but again I watched it before I knew it was a big hit so had no expectations either way.

That was funny, as was hotdog fingers. Not "best picture" funny, but funny.
