The Long Lens style destroyed this movie.

So in the 80's, the Scott bros, Adrian Lyne, and some others all created this smoked room, often used long lens look for 80% of the shots, where the camera is FAR away and we're in like, 80mm to 400mm lens world. It was cool. Something about it felt hip and epic and more real than real, like a tall tale mood (This eventually evolved into the Michael Bay style, in my opinion).

Well this movie looks like it only shot with 200mm lens or longer... and the result? Nothing feels real to me, like it's all so stylized and compressed that it's like a comic strip without any life.

For me, the style really kills this movie. Oh yeah, I saw it opening weekend in the theater, but right now its on showtime in 2022.
