Priest has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.
“Not even a post-credits scene could save this.”

Priest: every character holds the idiot ball with both hands and a strap.

Unpopular opinion: Priest is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love Priest. 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 Priest actually is?
Just got out of Priest and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: Priest's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, Priest would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
