Part 5/9:
Metacritic reflects a user score of just 2.2 out of 10, indicating widespread dissatisfaction.
IMDb initially rated the film at 7 out of 10, but further analysis reveals unusual voting patterns. After double-checking, the average score drops to about 4.6 out of 10 once suspicious voting activity is accounted for. This suggests that some ratings may have been artificially inflated or manipulated.
The Reality of the Reception
The stark difference between critic scores and general audience reactions points toward a polarized reception. Critics, many of whom may have been influenced by various aspects of the film's production, rated it highly, but everyday viewers—both domestically and internationally—seem largely unimpressed or displeased.
