GameSpot reviewed Civil War after one viewing and then requested two more viewings mid-review.
The Original Review
GameSpot — Phil Owen
Rated: Unscored · Published:
“It'll take me another viewing or two to drill much deeper on Civil War's themes, since Garland is nuanced and literary as a writer, but this point seems clear to me.”
First, monsieur, we must admire the athleticism: GameSpot's review sprints directly into grand political interpretation, plants a flag, declares the film 'certainly' about Trump, and then later admits it may need 'another viewing or two' to drill deeper. This is criticism performed like a waiter confidently describing the wine while still chewing the cork. If you require two more viewings to understand the themes, perhaps do not arrive at the first viewing dressed as the Oracle of Delphi with a press badge laminated in panic.
Was this review of a review fair?
