[Written Jul. 21, 2023] I know a lot of people enjoyed this, but to me, this is: Two hours of a generic disgruntled protagonist and his daughter, who grow to care for each other through their shared struggle in the journey, and a generic evil protagonist (who might actually have a point, outside of the whole turning them into weapons thing, considering all the movie seems to do is support it) repetitively slaughtering random people and each other.
There’s some stuff about him regretting hurting people, and trying to offer his daughter the peace he never had, but I don’t know; I often prefer comic book films just to be fun, recognize the absurdity of what it’s presenting and revel in it. These types of movies (obviously) aren’t incapable of delivering potent emotional arcs, but in this case, I just find it dull and tedious.
