correct

a movie that's going to make a billion dollars at the box office and influence the way kids' movies are going to be made one way or another in the future 🤨 i'm sure *some* critical discourse is justified no?

nobody's mad. just amazed.

tf u on about? all power to you if you liked it. i happen to think this sort of moviemaking is detrimental to young minds. cheers

they eat up slop like pigs. it's amazing to watch

made back its entire budget in a single weekend, impressive

love me some smooth meaty soles :)

lmao i swear didn't do that on purpose 😭

the balls of andy serkis, who is directing and will reprise his role as gollum himself, to recast such an iconic character from the original trilogy... leaves a bad taste in my mouth

you're shutting down discourse because something is not worth discussing in your opinion, which is in fact a prime example of anti-intellectualism

anti-intellectualism right there. there's no harm in criticizing things, including things you aren't the target audience for. what's the alternative? everyone sitting comfortably in their own filter bubbles being validated constantly. that's not a world i want to live in

but you're wrong. films based on popular ip, including kids' video games, CAN and HAVE been good. it's ok to push studios to do more than the bare minimum.

sure, your kids like it, but it's your responsibility as a parent to expose your kids to good, impactful storytelling EVEN IF they can't quite appreciate it to its fullest extent yet. children deserve more than flashy, vapid, corporate slop.

the one on the left. watch out for the piss-yellow hue and weird artifacts
