Finally got around to watching Ready Player One...
I loved the visuals and the style, and I liked all of the little references and the nostalgic "Back To The Future" music that kept playing ... HOWEVER... The acting is more or less abysmal, the storyline is paper thin when it isn't just being plain daft, the social commentary and message (if there is one) is confused and half-baked, and the ending. Oh the ending. . "And the Oasis that everyone escapes to because the real world is trash? Well obviously we kept that going because y'all love it but it's going to be shut on Tuesdays and Thursdays whilst I'm balls deep in my new girlfriend and I don't gaf what you do with your time soz lol." Oh and the "VR technology" was stupid, inconsistent, and didn't make sense. People running around the street with a VR headset on, not simply running into walls. People flailing around their room and not just bouncing off a coffee table. Explosions etc. in the oasis "zeroing out" groups of players who are grouped together physically in the real world... even though you can run around wherever you want in the oasis, so there's absolutely NO reason that people grouped together in the Oasis being killed, would actually be in physical proximity outside?? Reeehhhh. They should just have made it a Matrix-style virtual world where people are totally immersed, the VR helmets and suits just didn't make sense. Honestly can't give it more than 5/10 because the plot holes and logic were so bad that they were immersion breaking, and that took away from the visuals and sound design (which were near flawless).

But Niamh at one point there's a group of kids LITERALLY RUNNING FULL SPEED DOWN A STREET wearing VR headsets! What!
My other favourite bit is when the girl is like "You'll fink I'm ugly in reals " because she has a vague discolouration on her face... but then she's blatantly NOT self conscious at all as soon as they meet . OH AND the fact that he barely gives a **** for more than 3 minutes when his aunt and presumably dozens of other people he knows get killed . "Oh no! Aunty... err... Sue, was it? Moira? Err... oh nooo!" |

Also literally ALL of the in-Oasis stuff was 10x better than the "Real world" stuff.

For example me and my wife LOVE "Ex On The Beach" - it's had me in literal tears laughing before - but that's some straight up 3.5/10 telly right there . Like some things are a 10/10 because they're a 2/10 . |

Why So Serious?

Orphan (2009)
Staring Isabelle Fuhrman, Vera Farmiga, Peter Skarsgaard and C.C.H Pounder The film is about a couple (Farmiga and Skarsgard) who, after their third child was stillborn, decide to adopt a Russian girl from an Orphanage. The girl, called Esther, is kind, polite, intelligent, well mannered and friendly. She looks like every parent's dream child. But there is something wrong with Esther.... One of the best and most underrated psychological horror films there is. Magnificent performance from Fuhrman's Esther, who is terrifying, psychotic and menacing. I can't believe she wasn't nominated for an Oscar. The twist is one of the best I've ever seen. I didn't see it coming! 10/10 |

Aquaman
... I enjoyed it. The storyline is obviously pretty simple and the character is just Jason Momoa but it's a good action film. 7/10 |

I loved Aquaman, easily my favourite DCEU film. Although “Shazam!” Has the potential to surpass it. It’s got amazing reviews so far

Captain Marvel - 8/10 - Not the best MCU movie but it was still a great film! Brie was brilliant as Carol/Captain Marvel. I feel though she isn't as powerful as they made her out to be on this film but then again there's always End Game. I stan Goose the cat

Prior to unlocking her full potential near the film, she was a pre IW Iron man. Even when she unlocked it, I didn't think she was that powerful. All she did was defeat Kree spaceships. She's nowhere near Thor and especially Thanos |
