Default THE CIRCLE- avoid at all costs

Just a quick review on this "movie". I think it would be better labeled "waste of time".

It has good promise- Tom Hanks, Emma Watson. I mean, really, Hanks has done some really great stuff, and Watson was in Perks of Being a Wallflower- awesome actors playing a completely trash movie.
The plot is...oh crap, there's no way to say it nicely. Its like a bunch of millennials being really really annoying most of the time and being enabled by the Circle.
I give this 0/10. Don't let anyone see this ever- it has no redeeming qualities and is a very black mark on Hanks', Watson's, and all the actors who support them.

I think it runs a lot of parallels to current times, just for the message factor I got to give it a 5/10. And I think that was probably the motive behind making the movie and why guys like Tom Hanks were involved. I thought it was interesting, but not a movie I would likely ever see again for the sheer entertainment value.

I usually try to find some sort of redeeming qualities in a movie- but this one was a tough one. I can understand what they were going for, but it could have been far more intriguing. The ending just left me flat. Characters- some interesting in fact- presented but not developed further.

Ya the message of the movie is there, it just was a boring way to get there. The whole movie I was waiting for something exciting or climactic to happen and when it finally did, the movie ended so I was disappointed also.
