I'd say the movie lived down to my expectations. The soundtrack was the highlight, and the main reason I decided to give it a try. Otherwise, it's very much a low key Disney movie with a few mildly entertaining visual effects. The following quote from The Guardian's review sums it up better than I can: "But there is no drama or jeopardy or human interest anywhere." Overall, a world away from the intensity of the recent and MUCH better "One battle after another".

Just left the IMax theatre and this, to me highly original movie left me speechless. I found it excellent. Wonderful sound design, believable characters, well-paced. The telling of the story through each character's perspective worked for me, each one advancing the plot while keeping the viewer intrigued. I won't add more so as not to spoil the experience,

Having seen the average review score and been underwhelmed with a number of recent movies (including Mission Impossible and Superman), I was planning to give this one a miss. Luckily, my wife wanted to watch something and Fantastic Four isn't out for another week, so I was in for a pleasant surprise. I'd liken it to Argylle, which I recall also polarised audiences, but I clearly have a soft spot for this kind of movie. It wasn't trying to be serious, but I thought it was a sincere, well executed comedy. While totally different, I'd put it in the list of 2025 movies I enjoyed, which includes Sinners, Final Destination: Bloodlines, and the F1 movie with Brad Pitt. I'd recommend giving it a try.

Having just watched this wonderful movie I'm so pleased I ignored The Guardian's 1-star review. Hilarious and uplifting. I loved it
