All style, kitsch and self indulgence. Lurid colors, boring characters (or should I write caricatures), and stars flocking to do cameos based on Anderson's previous brilliance.
Alas, not on display here.
What is on display is a phantasmagoria of South Beach 1950s colors, characters who appear and exit with little fanfare and nor reason than to display a slightly different pink or violent blue or teeth grinding green.
A brief full frontal of Scarlett Johansson, keeping those in the theater in their seats hoping for more.
Lots of Hollywood default standards: idiotic inept military, homoeroticism, purposeless affectations (beards, pipes, odd sun visors), and Moonlight Kingdom-ish odd children.
Oh, for the Wes Anderson of Hotel Budapest, his last few movies were colorful bores.
