Had some really nice ideas and was very refreshing
Unfortunately just fell flat
Wasn’t the best quality of all time, the suspension of belief was certainly tested with some poor fight sequences, however fun they were
The music was fun and I really appreciated a fresh take on the genre
The dialogue was defo the thing that killed this most for me
While some scenes worked very well, in it’s simplest terms, there was a lot of telling instead of showing
But the charm of this definitely carried and mostly made for a fun watch
The beginning is definitely the best, even if the events are told weirdly, the beats still hit
Plot holes and technical issues aside, I can see the vision here and was a fun watch :)
