I’m personally not hating it but I thought all the homages to early films were unnecessary and stopped the film from achieving true greatness.

I loved the film because it’s a fun time. I’m not really the type of person to get upset over light references and knew when I saw it that people like you would hate it. It’s unfortunate because it’s a really well done film

Light references can be fun but this movie was nearly fourth-wall breaking with how hard they were winking at the audience. When the character itself doesn’t even have a reason or know why they’re saying the line, just because it’s a reference, it begins to feel egregious and kinda icky. Tone helps, stuff like Deadpool can get away with it obviously but I have a hard time giving this one a pass.
