Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Scorpion.
“Certified chaotic energy.”

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Scorpion knows its audience.

Scorpion: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

If whispered monologues were currency, Scorpion would settle the national debt.

Unpopular opinion: Scorpion is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Scorpion performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Scorpion?
Honestly, Scorpion would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

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

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Scorpion?
Look, I wanted to love Scorpion. 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.
