how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 52 comments (49 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 18 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 18 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“delivers a brilliant monologue near the end”

“The ending looked like they gave up on making the film. While the movie was ok and had some good action sequences, the ending made me feel like I had wasted my time. It was trying to be clever but failed.”

“has a terrible ending.”
ALMJ · Metacritic ↗
“The ending feels forced like they didn't know how he could still "win" but also stick it to the network. It just doesn't feel like a good ending.”

“At its running time 2 h this movie was beyond a drag.”

“only good part is the two guys boobytrapping the house and the prepper security stuff, that was genuinely only fun in the movie”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“It’s perhaps Wright’s first feature to feel, in a positive way, like the work of a director for hire: every flourish and trick here isn’t in service of a singular creative vision so much as a great, rumbling excitement machine.”
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph · 100
“The Brit who brought us such violent delights as “Shaun of the Dead” and “Baby Driver” has just the right mixture of empathy and impishness to turn King’s cautionary tale into a would-be blockbuster with integrity.”
Chris Klimek, Washington Post · 88
“All of Wright's movies only get better and better on every rewatch, given the immense attention to detail, and revisits of The Running Man will undoubtedly garner more appreciation for a movie that's already one of the most crowd-pleasing pictures of the year.”
Aidan Kelley, Collider · 80
“Edgar Wright’s biggest film yet feels like something out of both the future and the 1980s: a scathing satire that’s also a lot of fizzy blockbuster fun.”
John Nugent, Empire · 80
“For all of the multiplex-friendly fun Wright’s conjuring with this over-the-top spin on dystopian sci-fi blockbusters, the prevailing feeling here is dread. Most filmmakers would have diluted the grit and genuine sense of moral free-fall. Wright doubles the dosage. Every adrenaline rush comes with a chaser of low rage and simmering despair.”
David Fear, Rolling Stone · 80

“I'm not into politics. I'm into survival. The Running Man is directed by Paul Michael Glaser and adapted from the Stephen King (as Richard Bachman) story by Steven E. de Souza. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Conchita Alonso, Richard Dawson, Yaphet Kotto, Jim Brown, Jesse Ventura, Erland van Lidth, Marvin J. McIntyre, Gus Rethwisch, Professor Toru Tanaka and Mick Fleetwood. Music is by Harold Faltermeyer and cinematography by Thomas Del Ruth. It may be packed with cheese and is as nu”

“OK, it wasn't like the novel.... the Novel was sort of Network turned into an action movie with a scrawny lead... and this missed the mark and went more into straight Science Fiction Action, but it's still really fun to watch and still has some of the satirical edge to it. Which puts it above the remake which dropped satire altogether, and just made the movie into a nonstop lecture about how the Democrat Party and Communism are the only good things on gthe planet. The remake sort of left Net”
