6What people say
state of the nation so bad they’re making george washington propaganda movies
The subject matter is interesting, and the production values are solid enough — some of the scenes of 18th century warfare are really immersive and intense — but the script and the lead performances just aren’t up to the task. The letterboxd bio for the guy playing George Washington proudly tells us he was voted “the world’s most beautiful boy,” and I’m thinking yeah, that pretty much sums up his talent as an actor. Fortunately, Ben Kingsley, Andy Serkis, Kelsey Grammer, and Mary-Louise Parker pop up from time to time to inject a bit of personality into the movie, but even they are fighting an uphill battle against a stodgy, humorless screenplay. It’s not terrible, but it’s pretty bland and forgettable.Kelsey Grammer came on during the end credits to ask for our help in making this the number one movie at the box office over Fourth of July weekend. Uh, sure, Kelsey, good luck against the Minions.Included in list:2026 Movies Ranked
