Part 4/8:
A stark contrast exists between critics’ reviews and audience reactions. Currently, audience scores sit at an impressive 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, reflecting widespread viewer enjoyment. This pattern is reminiscent of recent films like Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Black Adam—where critics gave low scores, yet audiences responded positively, though perhaps without translating into box office success.
Many fans argue that the film is intentionally crafted for the core gaming community and younger viewers, akin to well-loved animated hits like Toy Story or Despicable Me. These movies are celebrated precisely because they appeal to both kids and adults, offering enjoyable content that transcends age groups.
