(If you’re curious, my review process. It’s also pasted at the end of this post. I don’t believe in Rotten Tomatoes. I just believe in me.)

SW SCORE: 31
3 out of 5 🐙

I know I’m in the small minority here but I thought this was a ponderous, agonizingly boring, melodramatic, torture device in the form of a motion picture. I tried to be as fair as I could with my scores but I’m only human and a pretty undisciplined one at that. I advise you to ignore this review and go see it for yourself. But I’ll tell you a funny anecdote. I am old.
But I took a young lady on a first date to see this movie. If you could pick the worst kind of movie to see on a first date, it would be this. I don’t know what I was thinking. To add insult to my own injury I also “yada-yada’d” the goodbye. She was not pleased. Needless to say, there wasn’t a second date.

(1) Shark Wrighter (SW) Score: Based on a sum of 5 sub-scores (acting, directing, writing/story, effects: cinematography &/or animation &/or effects, editing) with 1 being terrible and 10 being terrific.
(2) Octopuses (0-5 🐙, with 5 being fantastic and 0 being feces)
(3) Octopuses are my unquantifiable feeling…not that SW score is scientific…but this one is even less so
(4) ++ This optional section includes any incredibly *brilliant observations that don’t fit into simple quantitative slices like the scores and octopuses *(they are likely NOT brilliant)
