Hot Take: 21 Jump Street's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought 21 Jump Street was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in 21 Jump Street actually is?
Look, I wanted to love 21 Jump Street. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in 21 Jump Street?
Honestly, 21 Jump Street would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in 21 Jump Street?
Just got out of 21 Jump Street and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
