I had a similar experience with _The Devil’s Advocate_.

I got you guys beat, I figured out who the bad guy was in Star Wars in about 5 minutes.

I am still miffed that _Titanic_ ended with the boat still sinking. You’d think after all this time James Cameron would know enough to have the crew steer away from the iceberg!

No, see it was a good movie in my opinion because for me it was like a week later, when I was just working in the garage, when it hit me.

> Some people didn’t appreciate Picasso in the beginning either. Sometimes a true genius like Sarah has to break the rules to evolve the artform. Her unconventional use of spacing, formatting, punctuation and deceptively simplistic sentence structure lead some casual readers to not perceive how the grand master is creating a work that is much greater than the sum of its pieces.

OMG, it’s art! I get it now. Sarah’s too smart and highly advanced for my tiny little mind. When’s the MOMA exhibition?

There are services that will write essays for you if you give them a topic. I have a book where a guy asked them to write the craziest topics he could think of to see where they would draw a line (they never did). They are written by clearly foreign people where English in a second language. These reviews sound like those essays.
