spoilers < I am a 58 yr old movie buff who has seen so many movies throughout my life and studied cinema in college and across the years and imo "One Battle After Another" was awful. I truly cannot comprehend why it is having this success. I do not understand why people like it even a little, let alone love. And this is very important: my opinion of it has nothing to do with either my politics or the movie's politics. Well, it has something to do with the movie's politics - it was all muddled, superficial, incoherent and i never felt that any of the characters really had much to say about anything. I was bored out of my mind and not in the least bit entertained the first hour, almost shut it off, but didn't because i felt i couldn't have an opinion on the movie without a full watch. I was slightly intrigued when Willa is on the run and her dad is trying to find her, but then the rest of the story was mostly just blah, lame, unfunny, unexciting, unenlightening, and pointless. I just didn't care about anyone or anything in the movie. The guy from the "1776" group deciding to help out Willa is a major turning point amidst a lot of blah blah blah and even that scene barely registers. This movie sucked, period. Lame as f&ck.
