Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
