Most movies are pretty bad. Always have been. I feel like I got scammed for paying to see 28 Years Later.

Weird, I thought it was one of the best movies I've seen in the last few years. Wasn't at all what I expected to see, but was incredibly memorable and impactful.

F1 on the other hand was maybe the worst offender as far as literalism is concerned.
