Nobody is really acting in this film. Each actor plays as themselves-the suave jokester, the femme fatale, and the funny buff guy. You might enjoy it enough to forget how many potato chips you've eaten so far, but afterwards it's completely forgettable. It's what you get if you mixed every comedy action movie in a blender.

The animation is just stunning. There is so much detail, from twitching muscles to microexpressions. Design of each nation is distinctive and beautiful, but it's unfortunate that each one only gets a few minutes of screen time. I wish this movie was a show so that the world building could have been explored in depth.

My problem with this movie lies in the super weird design choice of the dragons. Why in the world do they look like My Little Ponies? And why fur? Why giant Elsa eyes? They literally look like Elsa's fursonas and it's disturbing. I also disliked Awkwafina's casting. I've watched other movies and videos with her in them, and it's undeniable that she has a unique voice that is easily heard. Unfortunately, my opinion is that it felt jarringly out of place when paired with the obnoxious dragon design and set against a fantasy backdrop.

As a person who struggles to stay focused on a show, I've never binged anything like I've binged this drama. It sucks you in from the very start. No one is who they seem-my opinions of certain characters swung like a pendulum with each episode. Character writing, costuming, set design and cinematography are top notch. The ending is bittersweet and satisfying as much as it can be given all the craziness that went down.
