Rorschach was the movie we were so eager to watch due to its poster and trailer. We even shortened our dinner time to see the movie!
BUT…it turned out to be unnecessarily complex, making it unexciting

Delicious
—All eyes on Grace Antony (playing Sujatha) because she stole the show 🤩 She’s been challenging herself lately by picking versatile roles; in Rorschach, she was fierce, firm, aggressive, and not cut out for games, we loved it!
—The VFX team, we’re just clapping for you 👏🏾 what an impeccable job! The effects done on Dileep (Sujatha’s husband) were impressive; they produced the intimidating mood that the film needed
—Color grading, set design, and make-up teams worked in sync to achieve a nice pale palette for a somber atmosphere
Bland
—What does Rorschach mean??? It was alarming that the movie didn’t explain what this concept is about; we actually had to look it up ourselves 😣
—Luke is a regular businessman yet he was skilled in martial arts???
We didn’t get to see Luke, the character, but rather Mammootty, the superstar. As always, Mammooty didn’t let go of his stardom to indulge himself in the role, very frustrating
—The story could have been told in a much simpler way; there were many layers that could have been truncated. Characters like Satheeshan (Sharaf U Dheen) and Ammu (Priyamvada Krishnan) did little to enrich the narrative.
Several suspenseful moments attracted our attention but then were short-lived
—In the end, there wasn’t much to take out from the story as it focused on the usual vengeance theme, paying evil with evil
