It was pretty bad. Had a lot of potential and just got ruined by all sorts of annoying issues.
They should have cut out the entire romance plot, that shit was preachy and annoying as well as distracting, took a ton of screen time away that could have been used better.
Also the characters were shit, especially a lot of the 'streamers' and they butchered a ton of technical things.

Too many stories would be so much better if they just did this.
Watched the American remake of "The Guilty" a really solid Danish film from a few years ago, and they made it a nearly exact remake...except adding in a ridiculously random sideplot regarding his ex wife as well as adding a random female character who had something like 5 lines, including this bizarre line at the end that made absolutely no sense in the context of the film.
They also made the female character not as shitty in the remake....overall it was like someone at Netflix said "hey this is a great movie to remake, but it needs more women. Just jam a few in, and make sure the main female character doesn't look quite as bad."
I'll keep that in mind. Speaking of which, that's another thing that needs to go: American remakes of recently-made foreign movies. Christ, it's bad enough Hollywood is so stripped of idea that all it can do is remake its old stuff, but it has to go and take other countries' fresh ideas as well.
Yeah, it was terrible. One of the few times where Critical Drinker let me down. The humor was over-the-top garbage, and the plot was nonsensical. It had the potential to be the next Truman Show, and it failed horribly. Also, Taika Waititi can’t act worth shit.
He recently did a video on the FF 7 Remake and went with a whole "but who really wants to play the same game again, but with HD graphics" to explain away the narrative changes and I grew to hate him a little inside. Starting to wonder if this is a sign it's time to unsub and leave with good memories of the channel rather than watch a slow decline of yet another content creator I liked.
I just hope he's not starting to "let things slide" so he can at least find some content to enjoy in current year.
Lmao I was gonna watch it on Sunday because of the 'meh it's not that bad recc but I skipped it for another beer and good conversation. Looks like I made the right choice after all
I saw it because Critical Drinker recommended it.

Good concept terrible execution.

Made the entire film worse for NO REASON.
Basically: see the original, it is awesome.

Lowest common denominator. It needs to stop being a goal.
It's like giving everyone a shit sandwich, because at least everyone likes bread.
Between that, the Bond review, and calling the Watchowskis by their made-up names, it's pretty clear Drinker is a retarded faggot.

And it was FULL of woke bs as well.
Usually really like The Drinker but I got to say this is a rare misfire.
Maybe he was drunk at the time.
Maybe he was sober.

Why are you still watching American entertainment?
Fuck you I liked it
I made a post about it being woker, than I expected, but still a decent watch. I maintain my opinion of it, but to each their own.
