Just watched The Machine, so much better than I was hoping! (lemmy.world)

Anyone else seen it yet? I’m a fan of Bert - but not a die hard by any means. I was hoping it would just be entertaining, but it was awesome!!

I was entertained but felt like most of the good bits were in the trailer (a common problem these days), expect for the grossest bit of the film (you know) which was wildly unsuitable for use in a trailer.

edit: I should caveat this by saying I don't think I'd ever heard of Bert before, so that could impact my enjoyment of the film. At least one person at my screening had a Bert tour t-shirt and I imagine they were loving it.

Ah, I have noticed trailers seem to be going strong on major spoilers these days as well. I had not seen a trailer at all. I actually expected that the movie was going to just be the story turned into a movie as if the viewer had never heard of Bert or the story at all. I think this was my worry that I’d feel as if I’d seen it before from the start. I liked that this wasn’t the case.
