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

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

    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.
