I really wanted to love Mickey 17 more than I did, the first half of the movie had me completely hooked

With all the hype surrounding this film I feel as though what you said above was absolutely true. I also feel as though they squandered this story with a bad script. The dialogue is ok, but the overall arc of the story is just kind of dumb and I ended up not enjoying it at all past the first 40 minutes or so. It took me two sitting to get through this and was kind of happy when it was over.
