What's the dumbest blockbuster movie you have seen that somehow received high praise?
I'm not saying the worst, otherwise I would need to include the star wars sequels or transformers movies... Just some really dumb movie that somehow got praised.
For me has to be Ready Player One. That movie message is so "uhuh" obvious that is stupid, the whole nerd that saves the world in a thing that otherwise would be useless to know in real life... The so over the top evil gaming corporation. The whole 80s and 90s movies and games references get old after half an hour... And it's so pandering towards the geeks and nerds, they really want the viewer feeling really cool for knowing that is the Shining hallway, or that is a Monty python reference... Or look a GUNDAM! YOU'RE SO COOL FOR COLLECTING THOSE GUN PLA! Look we have also overwatch and halo in the background! You're so cool modern gamer!
Also the obviously attractive "nerd" hacker girl that thinks she's ugly and deformed for having a small hard to see red tint in one side of her pretty face... Cmon man. In no universe anyone would think that actress is ugly.
And the message at the end is so hilarious: Look man, you're cool for getting these references and being a real gamer is cool, but go outside more!
Is like the creators have no self awareness.

The first Harry Potter was okay, but it just got worse. I'd say the worst was Goblet of Fire. That one should top my list of worst overrated movies.
Haha yeah goblet of fire was such an odd movie. I don't even remember the books or if it was the same but that movie made no sense.
My favourite part is how they let these kids fight dangerous dragons, one only didn't drown because harry broke the rules. They kept saying how dangerous it was, but then at the end everyone was shocked that cedric died. A dead child in the child murder games? That is crazy
Remember, the movie is based on a book written by a women who didn't had high education and is a book for children... Most things about the universe make no sense.
They were all pretty close to the books except that they cut out a lot of the pointless bickering that kept happening all the time, so I'd blame JK Rowling for those.
Funny cause apparently she had almost entire creative control
I'll go ahead and say it, the first one is a great movie even. It has a particular atmosphere of joy and hopefulness.
Then that entire vibe goes away and it just goes generic dark teenage fantasy with mediocre writing
I hope the new series being developed is better. The one scene in the entire franchise that I wanted to see was the fight between Bellatrix and Molly. It was a disappointment.
