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

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

    Surprisingly good! I didn't expect much, but the twists and emotional depth really pulled me in.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.

    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.
