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.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off. What a stupidly overrated movie.

Into the Wild. So much potential in this story and general theme, but cinematically so overloaded with pathos and clichés. Overly scattered storytelling, restlessly leaping through space and time leaving no pause to connect with nature. The film has its strengths but a lot of people I know mentioned it as one of their favorites and couldn’t accept that I found it rather mediocre. (Didn’t hate it though. So sorry for being off-topic)

Tolkein.

I tried watching the new tolkein Rohirrim movie. There were clues I would hate it already, but they started with one of those 'tolkein songs' like by elves or whatever ~one of the ones where he's like modeling the dialect on some euro language and being a nerd with glasses in the library holding up a schematic of what he just made and being like, "it's music". So it started with that and I was done. did not get past opening song.

Lucifer. My sis loved it and I hated it with a passion. I don't think Ellis is any good in it and they're just relying on him (and the other actors) being hot instead of actually telling a decent story or making enjoyable characters.

I loved it, but not the last season and how it ended.

The French Dispatch.

God what a boring piece of crap, and people seem to think it's all the rage.
