Is One Battle After Another that good? I haven’t heard much buzz around it aside from the oscars.
Its Hipster Taken. Instead of a very particular set of skills acquired over a long career the lead character is a looser stoner who screams at everyone.

So? That’s kind of the whole point of the movie. He used to be the French 75’s explosives guy but he has long decided that his revolutionary days are over. Now, almost 20 years later, his past comes back to haunt him and his completely innocent daughter.

Not every movie needs a power fantasy action hero as its protagonist.

And you’re completely missing the point of my post. The movie sucked ass
And you failed to explain why the movie sucked. Having flawed characters doesn’t make a movie bad.
Found this old post by the same user. For some reason they’re irrationally angry at that movie and label so many things that in my opinion worked really well as annoying.

This movie… If you want to be annoyed for three hours this movie is for you!! This movie does an excellent job of making every part of it annoying. - Want annoying action scenes… (see bloated pregnant women firing machine guns) this movie has them - Want annoying character names (see Jungle Pussy and Lockjaw) this movie has them. - Want annoying characters (see all of them) this movie has them - Want blaring scene inappropriate music, this movie has that! - Want annoying dialogue, this movie has that! - Want clumsy, vague and annoying story points, this movie has that. - Want to see annoying sex scenes, this movie has several of those! - Want to be annoyed that you can’t get those three hours back, this movie is for you! I understand that this is considered the best movie of 2025… holy hell if that is true 2025 has to be worst year for movies in history.
