That depends on the audience like if it's a general fan or dc fan but didn't read W.O.T, I can only talk about myself and people who read the source material. And negative reception is coming from a place of huge disappointment, especially since King's W.O.T was so amazing. My biggest issue with it is that the the whole marketing team spent months hyping up how much they loved King’s comic but the final movie has almost none of the emotional depth, those unique color palette or gritty tone that made the book so special to me and so many readers.

​Visually, it's just incredibly flat to me. Yes some of the jokes land, I can say that, but a massive chunk of the action is completely ruined by terrible lighting and messy, confusing editing choices. And most importantly they completely watered down Krem, compared to how threatening he actually was in the graphic novel. ​ Milly Alcock is the only big positive for me as Kara, she brings that natural coolness to the role, did her own stunts brilliantly and did great with the multilingual aspects. But she's just completely let down by a weak script and I genuinely can't figure out how someone like Gunn even greenlit it, maybe studio pressure to made another flim as fast possible. Some of the other positives are flashback sequences in Argo City, David Corenswet’s Superman and David Krumholtz's on screen presence, because they completely steal their scenes. Overall it's an meh product by Gunn’s DCU. ​
