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.

    Marvel movies. Yes all of them. They’re trash. It’s just cgi slop, badly written one-dimensional characters, cliché tropes, formulaic stories, plotholes bigger than meteorcraters and brainless action sequences. A cashgrab.

    A saw a couple; I gave them a fair chance. They’re all the same. The appeal is beyond me. Brainrot at its finest.

      I’m a huge Marvel Comics nerd and I completely agree. The Daredevil series was decent though, that’s the only exception I can think of.

      didn’t even like the Spider-Man movies? or iron man? first captain America? usually the origin movies are pretty solid.

        Captain America is the personification of blind patriotism and mindless obedience with a butt chin wrapped in an American flag. Unless you are the sort of person who rubs one out to lady liberty while reciting the pledge of allegiance it really doesn’t have anything to offer. As a European I’m inclined to say that the film is just wanky patriotic trash.
