This is a normal post I can't fathom why anyone liked the first one, the character design is so...first draft.

This is a normal post I lost patience with it at “Unobtanium”
Don’t recall actually watching it through to the end.

I’m sure the sequel will be equally missable.

Of all the issues with it, character design is an odd one to pick.

The writing was abysmal. I couldn't name a single character in the film they were all so forgettable. Sigourney Weaver was seemingly only in it so you could say "Oh look, there's Sigourney Weaver". I couldn't even tell you who played either of the lead roles.

The plot was incredibly simplistic. Army bad, trees good.

The world design was incredible... to anyone who's never played a video game.

Was there music?

This is a normal post Hands up I confess all I've seen of it is the character design.
But what you say doesn't make me want to rush out and see either. Barbie, on the other hand...

Week 2 is where the real judgement happens. If it sustains that performance then fair play. A huge amount of week 1 will have been pre-books and people who didn't get to see the reviews until the embargo ended. I'm expecting a precipitous drop-off for week 2 as the word gets around.

That's a whole other level. I had to turn it off.
It was worse than having to sit through one of the films that Kermode actually likes.

This is a normal post Kermode is a massive bellend though.
Mayo is a black hole of charisma, too.

Does anyone have any credible film reviewers on YT? Not because I disagree with Kermode on this, but because I can't fucking bear him any longer. British ideally

Moviebob? HA!

No. But seriously, I don't think there are any good ones on youtube. Empire's website seems to be tolerable, but I'm not sure what differentiates it from the rest of them.

Actually, scratch that. They gave the GotG Holiday Special three stars, so they clearly haven't a clue.

This is a normal post Credible? No.
I watch two film critic teams, both comedy/semi fictitious parody stuff:
Red Letter Media and On Cinema At The Cinema (though the latter seem to have gone behind a paywall since Adult Swim dropped them).

The relevant part is from 57:00 to 1:32:00, I perhaps should have said.
