🐉 Summary ⭐️⭐️⭐️1⁄2❤:
✅ A new influence of video games world on the cinema industry is seen in this fantasy action film. It adds situational comedy elements to a different mix of films like Harry Potter and Game of Thrones series, featuring human beings and strange creatures. Produced by Paramount and starring Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez, it tells a magical/fantasy story about a former spy turning into a thief then prisoner with his female friend, until the standards of honor among thieves changed upon meeting a witch and a father being deprived of his daughter, starting a quest to search for family and new team after friends and yesterday's honorable men turned into today's enemies and beasts in return for loot and ruling power🪕!

🐉 Disliked:
❌ The film poster!
❌ Some ordinary acting performances, such as Kiera's!
❌ More of a teenage film rather than just a family film!
❌ When Michelle shook hands with her ex-husband, the short Bradley, it was obvious that it was the hand of a small boy and not his hand!
❌ Some background chroma and visual effects are good but not perfectly mastered, especially the graphics of some strange creatures!
