Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis': A Mixed Reception
Francis Ford Coppola's long-awaited project 'Megalopolis' has hit theaters, drawing a wide array of reviews from critics. With a staggering budget of $120 million, some call it a 'beautiful disaster' and a 'messy masterpiece,' while others label it as a 'bombastic mess' and potentially 'the year's worst movie.' Despite its ambitious vision and the star power present at its red carpet premiere, including Aubrey Plaza, the film is expected to open to disappointing box office numbers, possibly around $5 million. Critics describe 'Megalopolis' as a 'fever dream' that swings for the fences but often stumbles in execution, leaving viewers polarized about its artistic merits.
