I like what this movie was conveying about how people suck, but dark humor is hit or miss with me, and the visuals and the violence were over the top for me. In part it was as if it increasingly became less about being upset that people in this world aren't decent to each other and more about nitpicking over what they personally disliked in others; as if they were just so much better and cooler than everyone else based on their interests and disinterests. That's really just about as crappy of a mentality to have as not considering your actions can affect others; because you're aware enough and kind enough to do so, but not kind enough to accept that people are different and are essentially holding yourself up on a pedestal. But I mean, it's hard for me to get behind "violence is the answer," although it obviously wasn't; because while they "rid" the world of a bunch of its "problems" they also died in the end and the world hadn't changed! There was no useful or meaningful message left behind, only the havoc and terror they wreaked. Instead of trying to do anything positive, they just added more negative to it all. Also, I think Juno is a pretty great movie! Not perfect, but maybe even deserving of a superb.
