What the critics say

Strong visuals and a promising black-magic setup get buried under unnecessary comedy filler, flat performances, an unexplained villain and a CGI-heavy climax that leave this an average, patience-testing watch.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 0 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
