Its a perfectly fine movie. Perhaps its crime is being very safe, kinda watches like a Saturday morning cartoon for kids. If you're a kid, you've not watched that many shows and movies, this would have been a blast. But with the state of really good shows in the past couple of decades, for adults this one is just ok. Some redeeming qualities include really cool robot designs and world building, kinda like Ready Player One with robots. That's quite about it. Main props go to the animators and designers. Pace was so-so, most actors did fine, but its almost like they knew this was just a tv movie, like one of those straight to dvd kind. Overall, not a smash hit, but not exactly a failure. But if being mid is a failure, then it has. Of course, knowing the budget and knowing who made this, in relation to the final product certainly did not help.

Somehow this show managed to squeeze in ALL the classic romance tropes while still being fun and enjoyable without being cringe. If you like tyoe of show with the cute innocent female protagonist, who's clumsy yet hardworking and the cool aloof male love interest who occasionally shows his soft spot for the female lead, then you can't go wrong with this show. They even manage to weave in some medical drama. A really fun time! Pull out your romcom bingo cause all them tropes will be filling them up!

Doesn't deserve the hate. While I don't think it's up there with some of the best MCU films, it's definitely not at the bottom as reflected in the RT score. There were some management executive decisions that I think affected the overall film, but I think Chloe did her best to work within those constraints. I personally believe, given more liberties, she would have made a massively better film. Performance was overall pretty good, much way too many main characters to fit within the length of a feature, yet Chloe manage to make this watchable. I could imagine a real garbage fire in the hands of a weaker director. This really should have been at least a mini-series or a season on Disney+. NOT squeezed into a feature film.

Thoroughly enjoyable ride. I'm Singaporean Chinese, loved the Chinese elements in the film and faith in the legend of Tony Leung was not misplaced.

Loved it overall! The visuals, the music, the sound, the casting, the acting, were all really really solid! Really worth the watch! Was it perfect? Not exactly, yet I'm hoping it becomes something like the "LOTR-of-this-generation", though I don't have my hopes up, but it would be cool if it did. It's a rich world and deep deep themes that is so worth exploring! And my only exposure to Dune are a couple of youtube videos and Jodorowsky's Dune documentary. While the pacing at points could seem slow to some and can be a critique of the film, it suits the vibe of the Dune world. My only other criticisms are the use of dream shots and Zendaya's acting & character. While I understand the use of these dream sequences, they do sometimes get a bit repetitive and draggy, though I understand its purpose and does put the viewer in Paul's shoes. And Zendaya... I'm not a huge fan of hers, I'm ok with her, but for this part 1, her scenes and lines does take me out of the movie a little. Her parts and character somehow doesn't seem to meld well with the rest of the cast & vibe. I hope it gets better in the next one.
