The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
