The cinematography in Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition actually is?
Just got out of Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition?
Director clearly thought Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
