GameStop: Rise of the Players

All the 10's, should have known it was crap right off the bat.

But on a good note I didn't finish it, maybe this will spare someone else the agony.

Anything with multiple 10's is usually a dead give away.

This movie gives a brief understanding of the (first part!) of the Gamestop saga. It's a great starting point to educate people, and show how easy some wealthy Wallstreet investors can manipulate the whole financial system to their own benefit (Ken Griffin being the biggest among them), and how small retail investors om Reddit found out a leap in their cheating mechanisms.

However, unlike mainstream media like to make people believe this whole Gamestop saga is over, the situation hasn't changed. Shorts haven't covered and Ken Griffin isn't in jail. So the movie is a good start, but how the second part will play out is what I'm really excited for.

As the GameStop battle played out on social media and the news, the story of GameStop was sold as a battle of regular Joe's against the hedge funds. Watching the documentary, it seemed more like a small group of people who bought massive numbers of shares and then talked it up in chat rooms to others to boost the price and make off like bandits. Interesting but probably not for the reasons the filmmaker intended.

The entire theater stench of cheese and doritos was extreme!! I heard 100 farts and 500 coughs. Cheese and doritos everywhere!! Power to the PLAYERS. Best film of 2022. Oscars nominees every single damn frame!! Go see this film! Run! Don't walk!!

This "Documentary" is not worth watching tbh. The writting is really bad and the music goes on in the background for the full duration of the movie to probably hide how boring this is.
