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

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.

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

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

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