The saga of Francis Ford Coppola bringing his epic new movie "Megalopolis" to the big screen is almost as long and winding as the movie itself.
Coppola's epic has been mired in controversy since it screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May. There were allegations of on-set misconduct by Coppola, and a trailer by Lionsgate, which is releasing the movie, was pulled after it was discovered it featured fabricated quotes from critics.
With a runtime of over two hours, Coppola gives us a lot of stars, visual effects, and long-winded soliloquies as Driver's Cesar attempts to build a modern-day Roman empire.
The critic response to "Megalopolis" has been no less polarizing. As of publication, the film has a 51% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
