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.
The Batman Animated Series had both a Batman that’s primarily a detective that’s not that good a fighter and it was still engaging and entertaining without being so slow.
Then again that show was driven by a dream team from the voice actors to the music and art direction. Sad to say WB cut down on budget animation half way in and it really shows.
