Actor-writer Christopher Miller, Disney-Marvel illustrator Alice X Zhang, DC and MCU's Captain America writer Jackson Lanzing, and screenwriter Larry Karaszewski among others, watched RRR in theatres and on Netflix and raved about it on social media. This is what they had to say:
Christopher Miller who has worked on movies such as The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, took to his Twitter handles and said, "RRR is over-the-top ridiculous insanity and it is AMAZING. It’s like Michael Bay and Baz Luhrmann and Stephen Chow teamed up to make a movie. It was 3 hours long but it could have been 4 hours and I would’ve still enjoyed it."
