    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

    Absolutely hilarious! The humor was spot on, and the comedic timing was perfect.

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

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