‘Weapons’ Movie Isn’t the Game-Changer It Promotes, Says BSO

Having just returned from viewing WEAPONS, I had anticipated a thrilling cinematic experience but was left disappointed. The excessive excitement surrounding its supposed groundbreaking nature left me looking at my watch, yearning for any engaging moment. Unfortunately, that engagement never materialized. The film struggles with a plot that fails to gain momentum. From the outset, the pacing feels incredibly sluggish, meandering through scenes that lead nowhere. Instead of an electrifying journey, WEAPONS remains frustratingly stagnant. Despite the claims of an innovative storyline, the narrative proves predictable and lacks surprise. If you've seen the previews, you know the entire arc, devoid of clever twists or imaginative concepts. Further compounding the disappointment is the absence of a substantial motive or backstory, rendering the characters’ actions inconsequential. The finale? It’s laughable in its corniness, provoking audience laughter—not of delight, but in disbelief. Ultimately, WEAPONS falls short of its ambitious promises, leaving viewers bewildered.
