      Nima can get 4.6 points for this brain-dead movie?

      A movie with 6 screenwriters is at this level? No wonder the ancients said that the three monks had no water to drink, all of which were twice as many as 3.
      This is the most ugly movie I have ever watched this year.

      Ordinarily, I shouldn't waste time talking about this fragment, but if I don't spray a few words, how can I vent my thunderous feeling? There is no one to compensate for the mental loss.
      Nima, do you know that watching this kind of fragmentation can give people...

      After reading it lightly, even drinking water and answering the phone, I looked back at the plot of the story that I still answered. There is no exciting adventure story in my imagination. The only suspense is the ending, which is also paving the way for the...

    Evaluation action

    As the first film based on British writer GP Taylor’s trilogy for young people, the film has almost the same similarities to the movie "Harry Potter". Taylor’s book is just like JK Rowling’s. Although a practical derivative product does not meet the gold standard, it should be considered passable for some viewers who have the same view before more creative works appear. The decent and formatted setting plunged the plot into a dull...
