Cried during Hunter x Hunter. Mostly at the ticket price.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Hunter x Hunter.

Hunter x Hunter is what happens when a writers' room confuses "ambiguous" with "didn't finish the draft".

Even the popcorn looked bored during Hunter x Hunter.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Hunter x Hunter?
Just got out of Hunter x Hunter and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

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

Hot Take: Hunter x Hunter's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Hunter x Hunter 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.
