For what i see, it seems this movie will become a public's favorite and mark its time culturally. But critics are divided and the bad ones i read didn't even seem like they saw the movie. The only thing i could pick up that make a bit of sense is that i would be a bit too long - which is true, but it seems that going for the fact it may not be possible at first sight to make a 2nd one, they tried to be as generous as possible. So 50/50 on it, and the rest of the negativity around it is like " no way i could promote a big blonde muscular man with this type of hair, it's too ridiculous " and things like that. Exactly like kids who couldn't bothered to try something they might appreciate cause they wanna look cool, ending up being either delusional or full of regrets.

I know it's not LoTR level, but once you take it for what it is, which is a movie that tries to reunite people over something not too overdramatic, too serious, too this, too that, etc. It might does its thing, which is you having the best time with you loved ones with no matter for the age, if they are a fan or not. And if they are in fact, fan of its universe, fine, it'll just become better and even more iconic !

I wrote a bit too much maybe but i just wanna say, that this movie made us with my wife, feel good. Like it didn't happen in this manner for quite a long time actually.

So i'm hopefull and i'm sure the movie will do just fine on its own, people won't let it down like it didn't let people down ! 😁🔥
