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.
You know it’s sad when I can say “The book was better and far easier to take seriously.”
And it’s a comic book that’s so poorly written that Alan Moore hates everyone who roots for Rorshach despite him being the only proactive non-evil character in the story.
Dr. Manhatten is the goat though.
Look I love Watchmen, it’s a great book, but if I’m NOT supposed think Rorshach is the good guy, then Moore shouldn’t written him like he’s the closest thing to a hero this world actually has.
