However, it had potential, the seed idea was good and some sequences such as the car chase or the Red Team-Blue Team where solid.
But I suppose a film that had potential is worse than one you knew had none and thus no disappointment.
Ready Player One’s Movie Adaptation was an insult to the original book. There. Fight me?
But if we are talking about abysmal movies, just go subscribe to those guys who make Wheel Of The Worst, the show where they review obscure media that should have never seen the light of day…
Yep, you’re right. You see, I have only two and a half brain cells, as I stated many times in the past.
I agree with basically everything that you stated here… except for the Red Team-Blue Team sequence, it was confusing as hell imo. It felt like I could only understand what was going on there only after a second or third rewatch… and I probably will not rewatch it ever.
But a few solid moments don’t change the fact that the movie has a weak plot, all over the place pacing, dumb dialogues, mediocre acting, uninteresting and bland main characters (whose names I didn’t bother to remember) and completely stupid stereotypical main villain (a rich Russian guy who wants to destroy the world and has a weak helpless wife who only exists to complain about her husband being a terrible person, how original). Like, there’s no way this circus can be taken seriously.
Phew, I can finally rant about this movie being terrible (in my personal opinion) without everyone around looking at me weirdly.
Yes, I absolutely agree with this. For me, Tenet was the most anticipated movie of 2020, since I’m a big fan of Nolan’s other works. Imagine my disappointment after actually watching it…
Well, I can’t really agree or disagree, I never read the book and thought the movie was a fairly solid one. But I suppose books are generally better than their movie adaptations. Though LotR is an exception for me.
I feel like we’re starting to get a little off-topic (I think that this conversation fits in the “Unpopular Opinions about Movies” better), so…
I’m just gonna toss out the many many “50 shades” style movie adaptions that the materiel wasnt that good to begin with and the movie is just as bad or even worse then the original.
