🍲The Premise was Better Than the Actual Execution 🍛
19 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
And that's all Folks, that's all you need to Know. The Premise was Better Than the Actual Execution of the Movie.

Things I Did Like -

1. The First Half Was Really Good, Nice Chilled out Mellow Mood with a Hint of Something Sinister Going on was Weaved Within the First Half.

2. The Description and Pictures of the Different Dishes on screen was Great to See.

3. The Anya Taylor Joy Character Reveal whilst talking to the Chef was Ok I guess.

4. The Cop or Security Guy that Shows Up to Help was a Good Scene.

5. I liked the Fact that the Chef Knew Exactly who everyone was and their History. Also, in the first half, he had this Charming yet Mysterious Malicious Vibe about him. That was Excellent.

Problems I Have with the Movie -

1. I get the Motivation for why the Chef is Doing what he is Doing to these People but it wasn't Executed with any Interest in these Characters.

2. After the First Half, the Mood changed because the Characters Sort of Knew where this was heading and I didn't like that tone whatsoever, it was kind of like seriousness with a joky overtone and it didn't work for me.

3. Two People do Something to themselves because of the there own Self-Disappointment and Supposed Admiration for the Chef and I thought to myself "Really?"

4. There is a pointless albeit a sort of funny to watch "Activity" that happens in the Movie. But it was Pointless.

5. At the End, When Anya Taylor Joy gives the Chef a "Change of Heart", I thought it was a great idea however once again, it wasn't Executed profoundly, it was Dull.

6. The Final, Final end Bit, some of the Characters actually start Believing what this Chef is saying and agreeing with him, "Like Really?"

Overall, The Premise was Far Better than the Execution.
