Stop blaming the "woke" crowd for objectively bad writing. We don't want this reductionist drivel, either. The plots were so underdeveloped and underwhelming that it felt very Suicide Squad adjacent; the movie had no idea what it wanted to be, but that didn't stop it from BEATING the racism theme into your skull every .03 seconds. Zero nuance, zero intrigue, zero creativity. You could tell the script wanted to be a whole lot deeper and more clever than it actually was. Absolutely gorgeous cinematography, but even that couldn't save this heaping pile of vapid garbage.
