Solo Leveling
Masterfully crafted. Un-roastable.
An absolute cinematic disaster.
They say whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, but that’s not the case for the world’s weakest hunter Sung Jinwoo.

Hot Take: Solo Leveling's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, Solo Leveling would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Solo Leveling?
Director clearly thought Solo Leveling was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Solo Leveling?
Rewatched Solo Leveling 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 Solo Leveling actually is?
Everyone praising the Solo Leveling performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
