Hot Take: The Princess Bride's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched The Princess Bride last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Princess Bride actually is?
Director clearly thought The Princess Bride was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

The cinematography in The Princess Bride is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love The Princess Bride. 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.
