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

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

    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.

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