I'm not saying the worst, otherwise I would need to include the star wars sequels or transformers movies... Just some really dumb movie that somehow got praised.

For me has to be Ready Player One. That movie message is so "uhuh" obvious that is stupid, the whole nerd that saves the world in a thing that otherwise would be useless to know in real life... The so over the top evil gaming corporation. The whole 80s and 90s movies and games references get old after half an hour... And it's so pandering towards the geeks and nerds, they really want the viewer feeling really cool for knowing that is the Shining hallway, or that is a Monty python reference... Or look a GUNDAM! YOU'RE SO COOL FOR COLLECTING THOSE GUN PLA! Look we have also overwatch and halo in the background! You're so cool modern gamer!

Also the obviously attractive "nerd" hacker girl that thinks she's ugly and deformed for having a small hard to see red tint in one side of her pretty face... Cmon man. In no universe anyone would think that actress is ugly.

And the message at the end is so hilarious: Look man, you're cool for getting these references and being a real gamer is cool, but go outside more!

Is like the creators have no self awareness.

They're lightsabers wtf would they need weight lmao

Look, George Lucas wanted Wu xia style movies with space samurais and the choreography did that PERFECTLY. Is supposed to look like a dance, have you seen HERO or crouching tiger hidden dragon?

The Disney sequels tried to do a more "realistic" style, I bet inspired by John Wick or the bourne movies but with "swords" but failed, the mistakes can be seen during the choreography. I can't remember a single mistake being noticeable during the prequel fights.

Ok, so you clearly only care about the action scenes and don't care about the story at all. Guess that's a view point that exists.

Anakin vs Obi wan was a visual spectacle and still one of most emotional fights in the series... And it's in the prequel. I rest in my case.

I guess having 15 mins dance number against overloaded CGI background is technically a "visual spectacle", I so give you that.

one of most emotional fights

I don't even know how to respond to that. I guess feeling relief that the movie is finally over is an emotion.

Dude is not just my opinion, I hate majority of star wars lmao. Is overrated as fuck. But is definitely the most emotional fight, especially since we can see that tension build up since episode 2, awful lines or not.

And definitely feels way more sincere than whatever the fuck is Disney doing now with the sequels and those viral trend fabricated shows.

Dude is not just my opinion

Oh it very much is just that. And I respect your right to have a terrible one

And definitely feels way more sincere than whatever the fuck is Disney

Sure ok. But that's comparing a turd to diarrhea. Sure one is worse then the other, but in the end both are just shit.
