I know a friend who is a huge fan of Stranger Things and made me watch the cliffhanger for the most recent one, where Millie Bobbie Brown faces off against a dude who can't shut the fuck up.

I told my friend that she pretty much seemed to have two or three expressions, and they built every season out of them (given the flashbacks to other cliffhangers): she looks mildly stunned and then remembers she has powers and then looks really angry.

In the Godzilla franchise, she was probably one of the worst of a group of not-great actors, especially in GvK.

To your point about critics: yeah, there's only a few out there I pay any attention to, and it just feels like a horrible exercise to watch films based on just one or two opinions.
