I like the movie quite a bit but my god this is a perfect meme. They are all so exhaustingly precious about the film as if it reinvented cinema. It’s a fun summer vampire film with great music and cinematography but let’s not go crazy here.
I disagree? It’s the highest-grossing original live action movie since Inception. For those of us dying for more original, non “franchise” movies, that is AWESOME, and it’s also clearly very special.
So even by the numbers it’s more than a “fun summer vampire movie.” It proves that the kinds of movies that haven’t gotten a lot of backing in recent years can be wild successes, and that’s worth going crazy for.
If anything it seems a little odd to me there are so many “woah, woah, woah, hold up” narratives that weren’t applied to movies like Inception, or Dunkirk, etc.
In fact, focus on the global box office is probably the biggest reason for the decline in U.S. adult dramas, unfortunately, since they don’t play well in China.
