I just watched this movie. It’s so bad! Why? What am I missing?

    I recently watched the lion king and was whelmed.

    Story telling has just evolved. The pacing of modern movies is more finely tuned. I can see how these movies used to be good but we’re just spoiled by better movies.

      wait you can be whelmed? I had never considered that I had only ever heard people say underwhelmed.

        There’s also overwhelm as well! Cool thing about most prefixes in English is that they can be changed out for other prefixes or completely removed. Though, one wouldn’t quite hear somebody say antiwhelmed there’s still nothing against it.

        I think you can in Europe.

      Whelmed is a perfect description for how I felt about many movies (thanks for that!), but this one just underwhelmed me.
