This film suffered from a classic case of overacting. Most actors and most scenes were fine, but there were very standout scenes where the actors were clearly just trying too hard.

On the note of trying too hard, this screenplay was literally too much. I understand that the writers were trying to incorporate so many characters and stories into one cohesive unit and that is difficult, but it was just too much going on. It was hard to be invested in a single story line, because they were constantly jumping to the various other things going on. But I think the issue with the screenplay is that it's an incomplete story, so you just have these semi-connected events that never reach culmination, and you're just left there. I also wasn't that fond of the script and dialogue. I thought it was trying too hard to be funny, and I thought a lot of the humor was in juxtaposition with more serious moments, whereas it should be more seamless.

All that aside, this film is very visually captivating. It is how a crazy movie with superheros, aliens, gods, spaceships, etc. should look. And it's great!

I liked the costumes and makeup for the most part, but if I see one sketchy lace-front wig, I take points off. | ||||||

I liked the special effects. I think they did a really good job. There was only one specific scene, I can think of, were I was like that looks so fake, but other than that, they were good. But I hated how this film was edited. And I think this is also connected to the story. It was like okay, we're here doing this, then jump cut, now we're doing this, jump cut again, now they're doing this, then jump cut, jump cut, jump cut... it was like sensory overload. I didn't like how we couldn't get more than 5 minutes into a story line before we switched to another.

Music was clearly not important seeing as there only two songs used, but I liked the songs they chose and how they were used. However, I thought the score was extra cheesy even for a superhero movie.

When Schumer really locked in and committed to the role of this delightfully delusional character, she was great, but it took her a while to get there. Also, Michelle Williams was great playing the comically stereotypical idea of American beauty. It was nice to see her play a lighter role, and she stole the show every time she was in a scene. But overall, the acting was good from the entire cast.

The story is simple and the joke works as long as you don't think about it too much. The script is funny enough to be mostly entertaining, and there is a good message about inner beauty just thrown in there at the end.

There was literally nothing special visually about this movie, and usually movies shot in NYC do so much cinematography to showcase the city, but not this one.

For a woman that was supposedly so insecure that all she ever wanted was to be beautiful, Renee didn't really dress as though was insecure about her appearance. And even if that was her comfort clothing, when she gained all her confidence, there should have been a more major change in her wardrobe. She now thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world, so I thought she would dress differently.

The music was adequately picked and well placed. I particularly liked the use of Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys.
