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.
I really enjoyed them because I really enjoyed the books as a child.
A combination of nostalgia and a great portrayal of a very familiar story.
Having said that, I certainly appreciate that they’re actually crap for everyone else: and that’s perfectly fine.
No movie makes everyone happy, that’s probably for the best.
