The concept of Free Guy is actually interesting and fun, a background (NPC) character in a video game suddenly realizes he has been stuck on the same loop he has been programmed to follow.

The opportunities to explore the subject are endless, and even though I wasn't expecting some deep philosophical questions from the movie and that it was more like a fun / "brain shut down" type of flick, I still didn't enjoy it.

No matter how likable Ryan Reynolds is and how fresh Deadpool was, it seems that whatever movie he is in the type of jokes and delivery is always the same.

For me they didn't land, the movie seems to be made for a teenage audience (nothing wrong with that, it's just not a personal taste) and also it relies on very stereotypical gamer assumptions, I know that some movies are just made for fun and not to give much thought, however if the fun doesn't work than its not a good experience.

The love story is also very cliché and the ending was a bit cringe and expected to say the least - seems like waste potential to me but perhaps I went in with high expectations.
