    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

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

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