A killer concept with a very bland execution. Featuring Ryan Reynolds in the daring role of Ryan Reynolds.
What really hurts this movie is the way the real-world game concepts take second seat whenever the plot needs something to happen, and no amount of stupid Twitch streamer reaction shots can save the verisimilitude. There's also a really bland romance subplot shoehorned in that brings nothing to the story and is so blindingly obvious its resolution feels more like relief than payoff.
Also, those Disney "Easter eggs" were dinosaur-sized. Disney really, REALLY didn't want you to miss them.
That being said, Taika Waititi makes a really excellent Disney villain, even when his material kind of sucks.
