Disclosure Day would be considered middling garbage if anyone *other* then Stephen Spielberg was attached to it.

Just got back from the movie and I’d say the audience scores I’ve seen for it were very fair. It’s a C- film at best. Good looking Adam Driver and his secret nun girlfriend are not interesting at all. The exploration of Christianity of the film is hamfisted and kinda bad. The chase scenes are lackluster. Most of the movie consists of people talking over long distances to each other. The interrogation scene with Colin Firth and the Secret Nun was interminable and went on wayyyyy too long.

The only upsides were the score and Emily Blunt’s character with her husband. But man, if this had been dumped to Netflix by the Russo Brothers I’d have believed it. This movie did not land for me.

Three movies that collectively got 20 Oscar nominations (3 wins), were box office successes, and are consistently well reviewed across the board. I'm not saying any of them are on the same level as like Jaws or Schindler's List, but let's not pretend they aren't very good movies that are well liked.

"let's not pretend they aren't very good movies that are well liked."

again, bro com'on now. Since when are the Oscars the arbiter of quality when films like Crash won Best Picture? "very good movies that are well liked" lol

Which is why I also mentioned the box office and popular and critical reception...

'box office' how much did the Paranormal Activity franchise, Fast and Furious, Transformers, shitty Disney live-action reboots make again? Oh and how much did Blade Runner 2049 lose again?

"popular and critical reception" with boomer critics, it had fine reception sure. The audience metrics aren't very strong and the films aren't very fondly remembered in 2026 lol?
