About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a lively fantasy-superhero adventure packed with strange creatures, big battles, and offbeat humor, especially if you liked The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug; Not for you if you want a tight, lore-heavy story or minimal whimsy.
Pros: imaginative creature-filled world; fun fast-paced ride; humor and heart | Cons: story can feel thin; dated CGI at times; fantasy elements divisive
