I was very upset watching this, I thought this movie was very inspiring like other biographical movies, but it wasn't. Kroc's greed, ego, and high ambition destroyed the business of the original founder of McDonald's, yes he was the one who developed and raised the name of McDonald's, but the way he used was very cunning until the original owner and creator of McDonald's didn't get any royalties at all. Now the way i view of McDonald's has changed.

I don’t care what anyone says, this movie is so, so good. Ray Kroc was a thieving asshole. Boycott McDonalds. This easily could’ve been the most boring movie, but it wasn’t - it was tight, crisp, entertaining, and made me irrationally angry. That’s a pretty good movie.

Another "white 'family company businessman' who loves to drink milkshake'"

Não gosto do Mc Donald's, mas esse filme até que é bom... Gostei do jeito que o filme conta a história. Não sei se essa história é totalmente verdadeira, mas do jeito que é mostrada, parece ser bem verídica. Mas com esse filme conseguimos perceber como o capitalismo e a ganância do ser humano consegue deixar a pessoa cega e só pensar em mais e mais, e mais lucro e mais lucro.

You should’ve seen my face when I realised Ronald McDonald wasn’t in the movie

On my rewatch, I hate this film even more. It’s one of them films where you hate it but don’t know why.
