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.

Literally every thor movie OTHER than Thor Ragnarok. They're just stale and full of lore that I don't care about, also the older ones are so dark I can't see anything. Ragnarok is SO funny to me and I was hoping Thor: Love and Thunder (the sequel) would be like that too but it was just too lore heavy for it to really latch onto me :(
Perhaps I just have the brain of a 12 year old that laughs at a guy getting hit in the head with a big rubber ball but like I'm in the movie for a good time, not note taking 😭

Ragnarok and Guardians Of The Galaxy feels like fun short story books that's like 200 pages and has images while the others feel like the 4th book in a series that's like 500 pages each.

that being said I know hardly nothing about the marvel universe past basic stuff, so it's probably just me 😅
(also I don't know box offices, I just know what my peers opinions are on them)

My partner and I have started a rewatch of all the Marvel movies because we hate ourselves and it's too late to stop now. Gotta say, I've been surprised a couple times at how different the quality is vs what I remember it being.

Thor: The Dark World was surprisingly good when I remembered it being shit. The villain is a little lame, but other than that, it's actually a fun movie.

Oh the other hand, Iron Man 3. Oh boy. That is a bad movie. Like really bad. Literally the worst one we've seen so far and we just caught up to Infinity War. It's sitting at a 7/10 on IMDB and I'm shocked it's that high. That whole movie is full of cheese and bad plots. It contributes literally nothing to advance the overall MCU story. The whole thing feels like a cheap holiday special, which makes sense because it's literally a Christmas movie.

Tropic Thunder

I bought the DVD on spec, as everyone seemed to love it and I was going offline for a couple of weeks.

What a dog that was. Gave it away by bitching about it and waiting for someone to support it.

Come on! Robert Downey Jr did such a great job in that one.

I do say that it is a one time watch film, as it will be very boring even if I watch it after a few years.
