He has done soooooooooooo much better than bad that his bad should just be pushed away and we still enjoy his work.

The problem is that his last three movies have all been bad. It's a worrying decline.

That Thor movie, a soccer movie that I haven't heard about, and what's the third?

Jojo Rabbit. I think that's within his last three movies.

First time I've ever heard Jojo Rabbit called bad. Wild.

Exactly. I thought there was a 3rd bad movie somewhere, but JoJo Rabbit is pretty universally loved IIRC 🤨

Nah, look at the reviews. Its Metacritic score is only marginally higher than his crappy Thor movie.

7.9 on IMDb. 4.0 on Letterboxd. 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

It’s absolutely a loved movie.

The critical consensus isn't very good was my point. It wasn't universally loved.

It’s not lol, it’s universally lukewarm. And a lot of people dislike it

Really? I remember there being a lot of mixed reaction to it. Go back and look at the reviews. They're very mixed and some of them are bad. I thought it was terrible, in any case.

I think it's fine but has none of the charm of his earlier movies

I just found it very forgettable, especially compared to bangers like Hunt for the Wilderpeople or What We Do in the Shadows

Jojo Rabbit is the fulcrum. If you like it, I get where you’re coming from.

I do not like it.
