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.

      Visually, I was impressed. As far as seeing the universe brought to life, it was good. As far as watching a movie goes though, it was kinda bad - the pacing was off, elements weren’t explained to the viewer, etc. I’d have a hard time recommending it to a person that doesn’t know anything about Warcraft and is looking for a good movie to watch.
