Fans are decoding Hideo Kojima’s social media behavior, arguing that his uncharacteristically short and “bland” review of Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars is a clear sign he disliked the film. Known for his lengthy, passionate breakdowns of movies he enjoys, his minimal comments on this specific post-apocalyptic project have sparked a wave of speculation.
The Dog Stars, which recently opened to a lackluster $19 million global box office and mixed critical reception, has become a hot topic. While Kojima didn’t explicitly criticize the movie, his departure from his usual detailed review style has the internet convinced he was unimpressed.
