For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art.

IMO it would have been better received if it wasn’t advertised as an Earthsea adaptation and was just its own thing.

    I still can’t tell if Sucker Punch is an ingenious retelling of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest or an excuse to film scantily clad women while pretending you have something serious to say, but it’s certainly fun to watch.

      Tbh, from all the shit Snyder has released since. It’s mostly just spectacle for spectacles sake, but I had fun watching it, and the story inside a story inside a story aspect was fun
