I thought sucked . giant holes in the story , the Boy Girl names , the babies grow from birth to 3 in 5 minutes with no clue how they survived . And I'll admit I just dont dig Sandra Bullock . Hollywood tried to sell her as a sex symbol and I found that laughable . And no explanation at all about why people zombie'd out . Was like a 2 hour Walking Dead , only worse .
Bird Box , love it or hate it ?

I thought it was ok. I saw a review that described it as "scary-ish" and thought it was pretty accurate. There were several holes in the story but the ending stunk in my opinion. I actually want to read the book now because I've been told there are some differences and it is much more detailed.
Didn’t hate it but definitely not worth the hype either. Definitely left a lot of unanswered questions like you stated. I don’t think Sandra Bullock was ever pegged as a sex symbol though. Moreso a guys girl you could drink beer with that also isn’t bad on the eyes. Far from a sex symbol but definitely not unattractive either.
I used to be interested in that bird's box, but she's like 55 now.
I liked the beginning but got bored with it once all of the kid storyline started taking over. Kids in the apocalypse make people stupid as hell and tend to get people killed.
She was pretty hot in her day (below) in a girl next door kind of way. Now she is 54 and past her prime.

Too many holes or wasted characters. I mean the two that ended up banging and then steal the SUV are never seen or heard from again. I mean I would have liked to see them try and make it outside but fail. Also it is a huge stretch on them getting out to BFE with 2 babies based on how difficult it was to walk in the woods or go anywhere for that matter.
My only conclusion was that Daredevil would rule this world.

You guys evidently missed her in Gravity. Wood, on any day ending in a "y", as fast as I could draw my *** back.
I keep hearing how it's based on society not having enough interaction or that it's based on the book of Revelation. I'm convinced it was based on some morning scares I had when I was single and drinking hard.
The first 15 minutes were pretty intense. Teddy KGB was good. The fat ***** who had Girl was a stupid ****.
Meh, it was worth the 2h methinks. I enjoyed the premise, and don't mind that we never saw the evil, but like others I agree there were waaaay to many gaps. I've got three here.
The big one for me was assuming the GPS could get them to the grocery store in a blacked out SUV. My GPS would have me driving through a front door before it realized I was off course, and somehow theirs kept them on the road.
Also, NO WAY IN FREAKING HELL that two toddlers manage to swim their way out of rapids when the boat turns over. They gone.
Lastly, the odds of her doctor making it to the safe haven are astronomically low.
I heard some commentary related to the fact that only the insane could look at the evil and survive. Any husbands can probably agree that this is why the two pregnant women made it to the house [crazy!].

It was okay. Worth one watch.
I'm not a big "the books is so much better" guy, BUT the book is so much better. If I hadn't read the book before, I'd probably like the movie a lot more.
