Review of Free Guy (2021) by Solear — 25 Aug 2021

Generally not that bad but there are some anchors that pull it down to the mud. I liked the performance from Raynolds, although it was a bit predictable. The absolute lowpoint of the movie is Waititi's "performance", that dude should not be allowed within 1km of any movie production.

Absolutely talentless, superbly irritating and without any merit. Single headedly ruined this movie experience for me at least. The move is in par with Ready Player One otherwise, visual effects are similar as well, also the "necessary" product placements and irritating YT streamers.

For some people there are some "trigger phrases like "white privilege" and "manbaby" so if you hate this kind of stuff, I totally not recommend this. This movie tries to reinforce stereotypes that all gamers are living in their mom's basement, and if you are playing a video game you are a bad smelling psychopathic **** Even the female gamers are portrayed as "nerdy" In my opinion the move does more harm to gamer culture then good.

Although the core concept was not bad, interesting even and Raynolds's & Comer's performance was good, the adverts, the arrogant, stereotypical and condescending attitude of Waititi and the writers drags this movie to the mud.
