1.5 / 2 directing & technical aspect 1 / 1 story 1 / 1 act I 1 / 1 act II 1 / 1 act III 1 / 1 acting 1 / 1 writing 0 / 1 originality .5 / 1 lasting ability to make you think 0 / 1 misc 8 / 10 People who say this is bad are just trolls. Especially those who think there should've been humor in the movie. If that's how you think, you should make a funny movie about your mother being raped. No? What a surprise. If you truly appreciates movies, you will find a lot to be impressed with here.

Great performances from the three main leads. The story is timely and is paced well.

It was interesting to watch this after finishing THE LOUDEST VOICE just the week before. The latter focuses on Ailes rise to power by building Fox News, and, then, his fall because of his abuse of that same power. This movie looks at the Fox climate, and the systemic abuse of power through the lense of the women. The acting is superb from the whole cast but the three powerhouse female leads are perfection. (I want to take a minute to say that Kate McKinnon finally broke through as a dramatic actor. I had opined, in a review of YESTERDAY, that she needed to find the real people behind her caricatures, and, in this, she did! I knew she had it in her.) This is an important perspective and an interesting movie, which is why I rate this film a 9 (well told) out of 10. [Based on a Real Drama]

Good movie, but not fantastic. Jumping in while the "Me Too' movement is still hot it's like watching something you've already seen before. While I would never condone what men do to let beautiful women "get ahead", let's be honest this has been happening since TV/movies were invented - probably before then with Kings and noblemen etc. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron. That being said, women are such hypocrites when they specifically wear scantily clad dresses and go out of their way to get a meeting with the top boss only to then turn around and say they were "violated." PLEASE, she knew what she was doing and what was expected. She offered her honor and he honored her offer. And let's not forget about the number of women over the years that cry wolf only to admit it was a lie - nothing ever happens to them - but they've destroyed the guy.

[6.2/10] *Bombshell* plays like a second rate Adam McKay film. It has the same direct addresses to the audience, the same straightforward explanation and table-setting for the situation at hand, and the same “period piece for the recent past” vibe of movies like *The Big Short* and *Vice*. But w More

The best way to sum up ‘Bombshell’ is that it's a story that needs to be remembered and told, yet the film we got is good but not great. While all the acting is phenomenal - especially the leads - and makeup fantastic, the story, filmmaking and editing are uncreative and thus fail to hit the hom More

I was hesitant at first to watch this movie. I couldn't imagine watching anything nearly two hours long about the Fox Network. Plus I saw a lot of negative buzz on the film. I am a progressive and have been glad to see wealthy men being held accountable for sexual harassment finally, but I wasn't an More
