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.

    Hated everything about it. Predictable all the way through the big reveal at the end. I don’t understand the appeal.

      “Oh yeah, the villain is totally gonna turn himself in halfway through this one”?

      I saw it randomly in the theater when it came out, and I was probably a bit too young. It blasted my fucking face off lol. So gritty and dark, I guess like most Fincher movies it’s more about the atmosphere than anything else.
