      No one said it would flop. Perry much every one of the people criticising it for the clear issues said explicitly that it will be a huge hit and make tonnes of money.

        I’ve seen plenty predicting it was going to be a massive flop. Not professional reviewers, just “anti-woke keyboard warriors”

        Bad actor even before transition and very small even when they where female so kind of odd to be a soldier and when people thought he was Achilles.

          In Troy (2004) Achilles effortless defeats a much larger and heavy warrior through seer skill. I’ve never anybody claiming that his size makes that scene bad or unrealistic.

          I will hold my judgment until I see the movie.

        It doesn’t matter, he already made his money from the faux outrage he and other right wing grifters successfully generated. Whether his predictions are accurate is irrelevant because he doesn’t have a reputation as a real film critic to uphold and the social media debate cycle is so fast nowadays that he can immediately pivot to a new “controversy” and start milking that.

        Didn’t they say it would make lots of money because it is a Christopher Nolan movie.

      It’ll do fine, it still won’t make it a good movie (nothing to do with that) it’ll be a typical Hollywood pander film, big visuals, little substance. Oppenheimer was praised for being a mediocre piece of crap.
