this is exactly why Ace rates this high
I honestly think this is elite. It might not be perfect, but it does so many things right that it doesnāt matter.
Ace was right, this is elite
Everything about this works.
so good š„
This is one of those movies that just works on every level. The tone, pacing, and execution all come together perfectly.
Way better than most movies out there.
kinda overrated imo

I actually agree with this take. Itās not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.

This didnāt really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
Iām somewhere in the middle on Christine. I can see why people rock with it because the tone is there. I just donāt think every piece is firing at the same level. I wouldnāt call it bad at all, just not a full knockout.

Thereās a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
