Rules: explain why
Ready player one.
That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.
Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?
Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.
Watchmen (2009 film)
It’s so fucking slow and SO GODDAMN LONG.
During the scene where the naked blue dude says “it never ends”, I blurted out “yeah, like this movie”, and the girl a couple of seats down laughed so hard that her boyfriend got mad.
Yaaaas, omg. Luckily I didn’t see it in theaters but even renting it at home, I remember by hour 2 I was just laying on the floor begging for it to be over while my now-ex insisted we watch it through to the end.
I also never understood why people thought Rorschach was “such a badass” and supposedly some kind of role model when he clearly needed therapy and was just stewing in his own self-pity and self-hatred and made that his whole personality.
You know it’s sad when I can say “The book was better and far easier to take seriously.”
And it’s a comic book that’s so poorly written that Alan Moore hates everyone who roots for Rorshach despite him being the only proactive non-evil character in the story.
Dr. Manhatten is the goat though.
Look I love Watchmen, it’s a great book, but if I’m NOT supposed think Rorshach is the good guy, then Moore shouldn’t written him like he’s the closest thing to a hero this world actually has.
I liked it but only as it was quite close to the comic, definitely understand why most others would dislike it
