Highly Overrated But Still Good
Dreadfully Boring
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
