Menendez Brothers: Misjudged? (2022 TV Movie) User Reviews

Unwatchably bad

[embmw · 1/10 · 18 August 2022]

Even as a true crime junkie,. I couldn't watch more than 15 minutes of this tripe. It is NOT a re-examining of the Melendez case-- it's a bunch of millennial internet trolls with zero life experience trying to re-imagine the facts of the case, absent any facts to support them.

From what I saw, no new evidence was presented. The brothers claim they're not responsible because they were abused. True? Maybe, but there's no evidence to support that, hence the guilty verdict at the time. An affirmative defense requires evidence, which simply isn't there.

If this presentation only revisited the case it would have been so-so, but that wasn't the focus. Instead, a few tik-tok "experts" (who apparently never left their mother's basement) were used to propel this sorry mess forward. These people thought they "deserved" to be heard... in spite of offering NOTHING new.

Even if you've never heard of this case, this is an absolutely awful introduction. There are more opinions than fact here, so don't waste your time. How this ever got made is a bigger mystery than the Melendez case.

If you hurt my feelings it's okay to off your parents.

They are trying to say if you think your parents are mean it's okay to off them. Absolutely disgusting generation coming up now. If they were truly being abused go to the police. I don't believe it, they where spoiled little brats that got greedy period. This film is a direct reflection of how sick in the head people are that we're born after 2000. They could have moved out if it was that bad. Why is this being reexamined by soy boys, purple haired freaks, the tattooed lady all barely old enough to drink. Again this is an agenda to say if you are mean it's okay to off you and "mean" is without a real definition it's whatever I am feeling at the time.

Very very wrong message

Everyone who has been familier with this case befote it blew up on TikTok (which is hardly the most trustworthy site) knows that the Menendez brothers are guilty. I would rather believe in the police, than underage teenage girls. Not everyone who is handsome innocet. This is what happens when actual police and psychological work gets mixed up with social media. The brothers are guilty, because of the long premedetation and the shopping sphree they went on right after the deed. Noone ever suspected any abuse and it only came up at the end of the trials because they did not have any more ideas. If they go free because of this the system is done for.

I was rooting for them

I was one of the many that has seen the reels and TikTok displaying these brothers as victims and watching this documentary, those reels are very convincing that the brothers indeed was abused sexually.

I did really hoped the documentary would show some convincing EVIDENCE on the fact that they called for battered wife syndrome as a defense.

I did not see any hardcore evidence, and crying just isn't enough for me.

So no, they are exactly where they should be...in jail and behind bars.

The review asked for more words than I can offer, I tend to keep myself short in speech so bla bla bla whatever.
