Nothing, it was good.

The fact that they didn't respect Wiseau enough.

Redditors

I don't like how Franco's making fun of him in interviews.

a movie with Seth Rogen in it can never be good

Exactly, they clearly didn't enjoy the original film and only intended to bully its creator with this one, people don't particularly enjoy bullying eccentric folks so it wasn't that good.

They forgot that the whole point of the books was that Greg Sistero eventually accepted the mythos Tommy had created for himself in the mid-90s hollywood, understanding the most imporatnt thing for any character is making the audience love you despite whatever you real history may have been.

Instead we have tommy being a retard lol, but greg vaguely accepted he wanted to be a star.

If the closing passage of the book and the film doesn't make you cry then you are autistic, smooth-brained pleb

Yeah, it was good, but it wasn't great like everyone and their mother was expecting it to be. I know people had their doubts with Franco & Co. (That faggot S*th Rogan is in the background of the poster) but the general hype was there.

The audiobook is unironically high-literature kino. They tried to make a kiky hollywood comedy when it deserved a character study.

The only good scenes were when they filmed the movie

Ed Wood actually made you love Ed Wood, TDA wanted you to laugh at Wiseau.

I've listened to his audiobook version of The Disaster Artist. It's very entertaining as the source material is very entertaining, but Sestero is a stupid piece of shit. He's incredibly shallow and arrogant, and it shows in the book. He's even implying that the only reason he wasn't casted as one of the four main cast hobbits in LOTR was that he was too tall. Seriously. The whole book is like that, he makes it sound the whole time like he was a great actor and only didn't have much luck. And he's almost offensively making fun of Wiseau. I hate fucking this prick.

It lacked heart/soul. It's very apparent from just watching that the film was just a joke for the Franco brothers, who were only interested in cashing in on the fame (infamy) of Wiseau and The Room.

>If the closing passage of the book and the film doesn't make you cry then you are autistic, smooth-brained pleb
No, you're just as delusional as both Sestero and Wiseau. Sestero is just as bad as Wiseau, maybe less autistic, but he's just as delusional and untalented. The only difference between the two is that Sestero is also a huge fucking moron, while Wiseau seems to be a very nice, friendly and decent person. See Fuck that prick. I mean the fact alone that he's making fun of Wiseau's literally deepest, darkest and most personal secrets that he was told in confidence shows that he's doing nothing but trying to get fame and money on the costs of the guy he sould be fucking grateful to. All the money and opportunities, and he thanks him by constantly making fun of him.

>riding off the coattails of some weird guy and his weird movie
Franco is a creative loser, thats why he just (badly) adapts books he read in college and shit like this

It's like says, Franco wanted to cash in on the infamy of The Room. He also said in an interview that he wanted to make a movie about Hollywood, and this was the perfect opporunity. He's just trying to make a name of himself.

I'd say it was as good as it could've been

When I first saw it I thought it was great. Perfect bookend to my and my friends fascination with the Room.
But as time went on and I saw it again alone it just came off as some shallow Comedy without any real backbone. It covered stuff in the book sure, but it made Greg to be more of a hero instead of showing how shallow he was too. If you delve into Greg himself he is just as shallow if not more so than Tommy, at least Tommy seems like an ok enough guy now a days. It almost makes me think that Greg gave Tommy a completely different version of the book than what was published. The book makes Greg come off as such an arrogant prick and none of that is in the movie. It goes too traditional "this guy is the good guy this guy was the bad guy".

tl;dr First viewing was good, second viewing showed how generic and fluffed it was.
