        I think you’re right too. I was expecting the movie to suck and was surprised by it. I’m not sure what it could have done differently, but I do see what you mean. It feels like it’s missing one last punch or something.

          Honestly I may have just had too high of hopes for it. Usually I’d temper expectations for a movie like this but maybe didn’t do that for The Menu.

          Speaking of having low expectations, that really seems like the best strategy for enjoying media made for broad audiences. I remember seeing M Night’s Avatar movie and being pleasantly surprised by it after setting expectations somewhere below the ground
