Let's just say the unsayable... this movie is puerile. That single worded description sums it up better than anything. It has nothing. It is childish, silly and painfully unfunny. There is an attempt to present big spiritual, universal themes, which just come off as confused, shallow teenage tropes. The "humour" is nerdy, lacks sophistication, wit and is devoid of actual laughs. Whatever comedy is there is cringe worthy, and you find yourself referring to your viewing partner to see if they are as silently bewildered by its lameness as you are. It's got colour, multiverse-jumping madness, martial arts, quantum physics I'm told. All of that is fun and great, but there is nothing of substance in any of it. No story, no feeling, no guts.

It also suffers that thing so many bad films do... running massively overtime by trying to be an otherworldly epic. It drags on an hour past it's natural cut off time. Just an attenuated, over-boiled mess that results in nothing significant.

I wanted to like this film, I really did. I saw it well before the Oscars hype and was beguiled by how bad it was because I was genuinely looking forward to it going in. At first it was unpopular opinion to say it's not actually good, but after being the most overrated film in living memory (especially post-Oscars) I can see a steady pushback fomenting from the unconvinced masses.
