    A visual spectacle with an epic storyline. The special effects were mind-blowing.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

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

    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.

    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
