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.

    Spider-man is Sony.

    All Captain Americas are forgettable.

    Iron man 1 is good. Ben Kingsley is great.

      Ben Kingsley is great, but he’s in Iron Man 3, not 1.

        Yes. I didn’t want to say that iron man 3 was great. The suit army was ridiculous.

      the new spider-man, not toby mcguire. it’s a “marvel” character, says so right at the start and in trailer, Marvel Studios.

        The only new Spiderman film I enjoy is the one with Dafoe and Mcguire in.
