Patel’s incredible skill at directing action scenes barely compensates for his lackluster writing abilities.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Not really sure where to begin with this one.
I guess I’ll start with the positives:
1. Jonathan Majors was… alright? It seems like he at least made an attempt to work with the horrendous script that he was given.2. I like Bill Murray. That’s not really a compliment for this film, but seeing him in it reminded me that I should rewatch Groundhogs Day, so I guess that’s a positive.
ok that’s it.

Ponyo 2008
Miyazaki talking to the studio executives probably:
“What if, we like, made a movie with a really good cast of characters and a really interesting world, then we, hear me out here, focused on the two worst characters by far and only highlight the interesting parts of the world in like, I dunno, the last 20 minutes?”-“Hmmm, I don't know, can it have magical fish people?”
“Sure, but also it's a romantic love story about two five years olds.”
-“Bet. Let’s make the most mid-to-awful Ghibli film ever!”
