Critique - Oppenheimer
I watched this in the cinema, and I really should NOT have bought the large Pepsi.
Roughly 50% of the frames were close-ups of Cillian Murphy's face either thinking hard about quantum, noticeably aging or rocking an amazing hat. Watch Barbie instead - it's an extravaganza of pink vomit with its own problems, but at least your bladder won't burst two-thirds of the way through it.

Thou Shalt Not Set Fire to a Nunnery
"You're going to have to help me move the body." Julie stood in the doorway to my room, which was a cell really, and she was as close to breathless as I'd ever seen her. She looked dashing in the moonlight, and lit up with the glow of adventure.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Mistakes in Stranger Things - Season 5
Stranger Things 5: A Train Wreck of Lazy Writing and Brand Blunders When Stranger Things first dropped in 2016, it was a masterpiece of atmosphere and tight storytelling. It felt like a love letter to the 80s. Fast forward to Season 5, and that love letter has been shredded. What we got instead was a bloated, nonsensical mess that felt like the creators were just checking boxes to get it over with. It wasn't just a disappointment; it was a total collapse of the logic and stakes that made us care about Hawkins in the first place.

Really enjoyed this piece even though I’ve watched, and thoroughly enjoyed, both. Congrats for TS!
Haha, I watched Barbie because this - for some reason - wasn't showing at the cinema near my place. But noted on the large pepsi! Haha.
I watched Barbie instead 🤣.
Lol, hilarious! (and noted, no giant Pepsi! 😅👌)
Not seen either but it sounds like a good description of both.
I was not expecting a review like this, it's hilarious 😂
I had huge expectations, but Oppenheimer was some academic bullshit. Nolan tries to grab the Oscar that he missed in Dunkirk.
Lolllll haven’t seen either yet but now planning on skipping Oppenheimer or skipping liquids 🤣
Haha! You’re hilarious! Haven’t see it yet, or Barbie, but totally loved your review! Congrats on top story!!👏🏽👏🏽💫
How did you get away with being this succinct? Is the word requirement different for reviews? The Barbenheimer phenomenon is funny, but I really don't care to patronize the man who nuked innocent civilians while propaganda called it saving the world movie.
Haha! Brilliant! I love this. I want to see the Barbie movie and had no idea how long Oppenheimer was. XD Congrats on getting Top Story! Very deserving. <3
I love this review, and it deserved the TS crown! And I am still on the fence about watching both of them. I'll have a Dr. Pepper, please...extra barrel large.
I might watch just to see Cillian Murphy rock an amazing hat. 😊 I haven't seen Barbie either, but love your humor. Congratulations on Top Story ❤️
Odd thought I had commented on this already! Love this critique even though I've not seen it! Lov your sense of humour! Congrats on TS!
Haha this is excellent and funny!
😹😹 nice one! Congrats on TS
Agree top disagree, but I like your style with this critique. Congratulations
Good job cutting to the essentials. Love your sense of humor.
I love how you work in a comparison for your critique. I couldn't quite figure out how to seamlessly do something like that with my critique. Perhaps my second attempt... Congratulations on Top Story!
Fair Enough! I watched both, and while most people say to watch Oppenheimer then Barbie for a palette cleanse, I went the other way around, Opps!
Congrats on the TS
I guess that's one way to look at it. I am still planning on watching it in the theater, just need to find time. Saw Barbie with my son as gender awareness exercise and we both loved it.
I shall wait to watch it at home, my bladder ain't that strong.
I also made the unfortunate mistake of drinking a soda when I saw it. Great review!
I would love to just see cillian Murphys face on screen. Buying my ticket now
