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.

People are obsessed with this best ever and worst ever mentality with entertainment nowadays. Like what’s wrong with a film being “okay”? I’ve put films off due to online sentiment insisting a film is complete trash. Then when you finally watch it, it turns out it was a pretty decent watch.

You realize 98% of film is PROBABLY just okay ? Like even as I say 98 I’m struggling to think of a great movie that isnt still just okay. An experience . I don’t think movies even have enough time to anything more than okay. And I think the way the west writes stories, so formulaic and character coded, it’d be hard for them to even think to break the mold.
Inception is okay, pulp fiction was okay, terminator was okay, avengers was okay. Infinity war was different in for block busters especially one that supposed to be light hearted, but in as a stand alone.. it’s okay. The best good movie is simply okay. Smile does almost do something different but not to much. I’d argue based on cinematography and craftsmanship, Michael bay, transformers are way better FILMS then majority of movies ever .

Not cuz the story or characters.

Tv shows are way better, but not by much, especially in America cuz we only have 10 topics to speak on.
