McGuffin for 3 hours. Terrible payoff. Awkward acting. Worst direction ever. Building a 3 hour movie on a vague set up without diving deeper? Inconsistencies of characters with magical powers solve the day, relieving the writers of any real problem solving. Easily a stain on Spielbergs legacy. This movie alone take Spielbergs down many notches and makes you question why we ever crowned his one of the best. This movie retroactively does damage to his other works and you see the gimmick of Spielberg in cheap paint by numbers, but of an ultimate picture that doesn’t make sense. If a student had this movie as an idea, the professor would instantly fail them in film class. Pure hot garbage. I see %90 of wide releases, and I never leave reviews. This is the movie that inspired me to reset my Metacritic PW and write a review to warn everyone. This movie is destructively bad. Spielberg might actually be fully cooked.
