The extreme and impossible to ignore level of ideology, both covertly and overtly, that is rampant and coded into this movie is, accompanied with the inevitability of raw and unadulterated hypocrisy, an insurmountable obstacle created by the movie itself, that takes on an entire life of its own throughout the film like artificial intelligence, and thus bit by bit and play by play, completely destroys the creativity and potential on which this movie was built.

Free Guy, where Ryan Reynolds is once again playing Deadpool for the majority of the movie, from the narrating, the wit, the voice, the idiosyncrasies, the acting, and the humor, is a movie that could have been something truly amazing, but sadly it was spawned in a period where just simple art, entertainment, and uncontaminated creativity, is merely an after-thought to the real objective. This is why movies like The Truman Show will forever remain classics, while Free Guy will only be relevant until it is time to reboot, switch off the monitor, upgrade, or simply leave to take a leak after some lengthy time of gameplay and lose interest in the interim.

I sincerely wanted to like, and even love this movie, but I absolutely did not expect it to be so fueled with ideology, propaganda, and sheer and abundant political overtones. This review will probably be received harshly by the few who see it, because of the love this movie seems to have, as well as Ryan Reynolds, but Free Guy, although it is a movie that categorically had all it needed to be spectacular, where as a finished product it was well constructed, edited, directed, and even acted for the vast majority of it, though the story became a sprawling and senseless mess as it progressed, particularly in its third act, the movie ultimately and unfortunately, was inevitably and regrettably turned rotten in its unending, insufferable, and hypocritical attempt, whether successful or not, to force feed agenda.

4/10.
