Internet gave me high expectations for Groundhog Day, so after reading countless better time loop stories, I was severely disappointed. Steins;Gate pretty much sums it up for me (see picture). It would've been nice if there was some kind of explanation as to what started the time loop, what the time loop was exactly, and why it ended. It would also have been nice if the film didn't positively end with a relationship that repeated iterations of history have proven to be between incompatible people and doomed to fail.

Bill Murray didn't do shit.

It was a complete waste of a good premise.

>Groundhog day. The concept was awesome, most of the movie was just entertaining, and the "ending" was horrible. Suddenly the time loop stops for no reason at all! Protagonist is now in a relationship with his love interest and he now loves the town instead of hating it, but otherwise continues to lead a perfectly normal life. THE END!
FUCK YOU. I know it's a comedy film, but some kind of explanation as to what started the loop and what ended it, as well as how his life has changed as a result of having been in the loop for ages would be great, even if the answers are shitty. Don't just go 'Oh, we only have five more minutes left. Okay, protagonist wakes up, lives happily ever after, THE END'.
