how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 72 comments (43 from Metacritic, 27 from Reddit, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 17 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 17 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“The scene where Milo meets Whitmore is a great one that I can talk about all day. It could have easily been an exposition dump but the writing and Mahoney’s delivery kept it grounded.”

“That Leviathan sequence is still a rewatch for me. The sound design in that scene is so good.”

“I absolutely love the change from classic adventure horns and strings to ethereal/tropical percussion and choruses when they get to Atlantis. Once the underground journey starts, it does give some gradual hints of it along the way”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
“A thrilling tale smartly told, with an abundance of wit and invention. It's a classic.”
Gregory Weinkauf, New Times (L.A.) · 90
“Rousing in an old pulp science fiction sort of way, but the climactic scene transcends the rest, and stands by itself as one of the great animated action sequences.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 88
“A monumental treat as well as a crafty assemblage of mythologies.”
A.O. Scott, The New York Times · 80
“A wide-eyed, action-adventure throwback to the era of Disney's magnificent adaptation of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."”
Cody Clark, Mr. Showbiz · 80
“The emphasis here is less on cuteness and romance and more on the "Raiders of the Lost Ark"-style adventure.”
Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle · 75

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“It only stumbles towards the end, mostly involving inconsistencies or plot holes around the giant crystal, most of which can be overlooked.”

“Especially early on in the movie there was an underwater shot that combined 2D and 3D animation and it was absolutely enchanting to watch.”

“The first forty minutes of this over-long adventure is much more reminiscent of something from Jules Verne, only spent on elongated character establishment scenarios, some borderline slapstick humour and by the time the film gets anywhere near it's sharp end, I could already feel a sense of ennui setting in”
