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.
My partner and I have started a rewatch of all the Marvel movies because we hate ourselves and it’s too late to stop now. Gotta say, I’ve been surprised a couple times at how different the quality is vs what I remember it being.
Thor: The Dark World was surprisingly good when I remembered it being shit. The villain is a little lame, but other than that, it’s actually a fun movie.
Oh the other hand, Iron Man 3. Oh boy. That is a bad movie. Like really bad. Literally the worst one we’ve seen so far and we just caught up to Infinity War. It’s sitting at a 7/10 on IMDB and I’m shocked it’s that high. That whole movie is full of cheese and bad plots. It contributes literally nothing to advance the overall MCU story. The whole thing feels like a cheap holiday special, which makes sense because it’s literally a Christmas movie.
