I felt the same way, that this was another overhyped Hollywood circle jerk, but it was pretty good. At a surface level the story isn’t anything amazing. The action sequences were good but nothing revolutionary. For me it was the acting and the core of the story, which to me was about relationships, making the best of your choices, and kindness to others and yourself. For some reason the kindness part really hit me. How they represented it was cheesy as hell, but that didn’t stop me from taking that to heart.
True, but at that point I suspended my disbelief. Hollywood movie needs Hollywood ending.
