There are a few movies that I know I shouldn't try to watch them from the title or the poster or just reading the plot.
Usually I never watch them but unfortunately sometimes I have friends that have different opinion.
The movie was Surrogates. Never again 2/10

I tried to change the thread title to "What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it? And assigning a poorly defined numerical value doesn't offer any insight and therefore doesn't count as an opinion" but I discovered titles are sadly limited to fewer characters.( True story).
Maybe I'll create a sticky defining what is an acceptable post so that people will have one more thing that they don't read.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
As is often the case with Terry Gilliam's films, the real star here isn't an actor: no, it's the unique, vibrant, imaginative fantasy world. Parnassus' magic mirror is one of Gilliam's most intriguing concoctions, a world at once beautiful and terrifying, a backdrop against which the doctor and the demonic Mr. Nick compete to win the soul of anyone who enters. That much of the action plays out in the dull, rickety "real world" makes the mirror realm all the more magical.
Heath Ledger shines as Tony, the mysterious con man caught right in the middle of the bet - as do Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell. The transitions between the four actors is seamless - Heath Ledger is the "real" Tony, and the others are different aspects of his persona revealed by the mirror. This physical representation of Tony's manipulation of others - presenting himself differently to different people - deepens his character, adds another layer to the conflict. Gilliam made the sweetest lemonade from the bitterest lemons.
The rest of the cast is strong, notably Christopher Plummer's deeply flawed Parnassus.
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is a beautiful fairy tale for adults. It's probably not for everyone, though. It's dark - not at all surprising if you've seen any of Gilliam's work. It explores the very worst of human nature, and ends with only the faintest glimmer of hope. If you can handle that, you should love it.

Copy/pasting doesn't qualify as having an opinion.
