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.

Mad Max (all of them, though I only saw part of the first one). It is more of a video game setup then a decent story.

I hated the first one as well, I found it boring. All the movies are different beasts though. I loved the new one, it was completely different and had amazingly playful over-the-top action and humour. (Haven't seen Furiosa yet, but heard it's different again.)

Mad Max fury road: we’re driving and driving and driving

So dunno if it will help, I'm a fan of it so YMMV, but Fury Road is one of the few movies that writing credit went to a storyboard artist. That's why it's actually so quiet on dialogue is they wrote it out with visual clues to avoid such so you're forced to pick up the visual interactions on the characters. Basically it's a comic in motion.

Now if you see t his and go "nah", understandable! It's why I like that movie but I went in knowing they were doing something different so I ended up loving it.

There's a pretty good Mad Max game out there...
