Why does every piece of media need to be the deepest thing ever? Or why do we have to assume media is trying to be? This to me sounds like when people call music pretentious simply because it's a combination of something they don't like and also not like things normally on the radio. It's even weirder in a case like this when the movie is a blockbuster film and not some indie joint.

In the case of this movie a lot of people were saying it was an important and deep move. So this review is more a reaction the tremendous over hype joker got from some groups of people.

And in valiant battle against the edginess they just became more edge. Criticism doesn't get much lower than basing the review on the "tremendous over hype" of others. That just makes the critic a tool.

It’s expectation

They went in expecting it to be deep
