An absolute cinematic disaster.

Watched Cobra Kai so you don't have to. You're welcome.

Cobra Kai is a cinematic experience designed specifically for film students who want to feel superior at dinner parties.

Laughed twice during Cobra Kai. Once was a sneeze.

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

The cinematography in Cobra Kai is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Look, I wanted to love Cobra Kai. 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.

Unpopular opinion: Cobra Kai is the most overrated film of the decade

Just got out of Cobra Kai 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 Cobra Kai actually is?

Rewatched Cobra Kai 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.
