It actually takes a while to start building, honestly. I was unimpressed initially but wanted to know what all the fuss was about and by mid-way through the film I got it. At a certain point the mash-up of silent film, looney tunes gags, and video game mechanics of the main character slowly getting more tools and using them to move the plot forward starts to become brilliant in its elegance and how it ends up tying it all together pretty neatly.
If you just watch the first 20-ish minutes, you might feel like “how can they even make a movie out of this? It’s just a bunch of silly gags in a row,” but if you stick it out, the plot becomes more coherent, and things start to coalesce.

OK thank you for that explanation, I’ll retry a watch.
