Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)

I think it's a hard line to walk, making a biopic about a genuine real-world serial killer and his wife, having said serial killer take up a pretty massive chunk of that biopic's screentime, and still not have it look as if you're trying to paint said serial killer as sympathetic - when you're a main character, when it's your story, you **are** the protagonist, and when the protagonist is a monster, that's... Yeah, that's a hard line to walk. And I think it's walked here falteringly. There's some very powerful moments, and it is absolutely an intriguing experiment in cinema, but I don't think it made all the best choices. I mean it's not a twist that Ted Bundy did it, 'cause all the world already knows... Well I mean, he's Ted Bundy. He's literally famous for one single thing, and it's being a murderer.
I can still recommend **Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile** to reasonable adults. Not a strong recommendation, but one nonetheless.
_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

I mean, I know Ted Bundy was the protagonist... but I got the strong feeling he was the good guy in this. Honestly, as in, that wasn't a sarcastic bit, they try and make him heroic.
And yeah, the title suggests something: "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile" but it doesn't achieve what it suggests, this is a Ted Bundy story if it was made by pre-woke Disney, and he was the charming prince.
The Serial Killer part is muted to the point where the viewer you think the writer actually thought he was innocent.
And it's a movie about a Serial Killer and rapist that tries to not offend. That doesn't work, Serial Killers and rapists are very offensive people, so offensive we lock them up for life or execute them... unless you are in California, Washington, Oregon, DC, Chicago, New York or New Jersey, where they are more focused on locking up the people that got away for the crime of self defense.
So, that is probably why, in their effort to woke up a movie about a Seriel killer and rapist whilst avoiding as many potential triggers as possible, they succeeded in making Ted Bundy look almost heroic
