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

    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.

    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.
