    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

  • Bodhi Wilson
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

  • Martha Keller
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.
