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.

    Ted.

    Juvenile fratboy humour done badly, very badly with lots of fan services to get the brainless cheering.

    Made me laugh once in the first few minutes (I can’t even remember the joke) and walked out of the cinema after about an hour.

      You tried to watch this movie sober, didn’t you?

      That’s the problem, lol. You have to turn off a bit of your brain to enjoy yourself properly.
