I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than The World at War.

Even the popcorn looked bored during The World at War.

The World at War narrates like it's being charged by the adjective.

The World at War confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The World at War actually is?

Honestly, The World at War would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: The World at War is the most overrated film of the decade

Rewatched The World at War 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.

The cinematography in The World at War is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Look, I wanted to love The World at War. 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.

Hot Take: The World at War's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Just got out of The World at War and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
