Was the 2022 movie Lightyear really that bad?

· 1 week ago · 7 replies · 138

I remember seeing really bad reviews for the 2022 Lightyear movie—which is exactly why I’m asking. I haven't seen it yet because all the negative stuff I read totally put me off. Plus, it isn't even based on the classic animated series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command; I would have loved a movie based on that, but clearly, they aren't going to do it. So, since I haven't watched it, I want to know your opinion if you have: is it actually a piece of crap, or are the critics just haters and the movie is actually good?

But did you at least know it existed? It’s been several years since it was released.

Unfortunately. I just dislike the way Buzz looks compared to Toy Story. Why couldn’t they have just come up with an original idea of a spaceman?

They wanted to make it look realistic; if you compare it to Toy Story, you clearly won't like it at all—it lacks that pleasant cartoonish look. But what about the plot? Aside from the visuals, everyone complained that the story was garbage.

Was this a prequel more or less when Buzz was a space ranger?

I think I watched it.

Have seen this movie, and honestly, it was pretty good to me. Not crazy interesting, but it was a decent watch. Maybe you should try it out.

I have no idea if that's the one or not; I'm talking about this movie.
