Nosferatu 2024
I can find no ground for maintaining strict distinctions between relative, instrumental, extrinsic, and intrinsic value. Thus, I must refuse any critical demand to appraise Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu “on its own terms,” that is, in isolation from its aesthetic tradition, religious politics, or social impact.

Sh*tty, sh*tty, bang, bang.
This nearly 3 hour-long video game cut scene is just one shallow, meaningless, tedious gunfight after another. Wick is less than a ghost of a character. His generic, insubstantial objective of “attaining freedom” doesn’t even require him to take down the corrupt system by the end, rendering all the carnage of the franchise absolutely pointless.
