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.
Exactly. The lore and such is an interesting attempt at world building, but I enjoyed it because of the insane level of tight choreography and flow, when many action films merely imply martial arts by showing a single punch and then shaking the camera violently lol.
I think a prequel with less emphasis on action could be pretty good
