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 56 comments (47 from Metacritic, 9 from TMDB reviews) — 22 of them described how it moves.
➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing.

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Phantom may not be the best entry in the series, but it's the most technically accomplished, and it makes you as hungry for the next film as you've been for this one.”
Shawn Levy, Portland Oregonian · 91
“An astonishing achievement in imaginative filmmaking.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 88
“Forget the hype, and the backlash. The Phantom Menace is captivating.”
John Podhoretz, New York Post · 88
“A highly entertaining and visually breathtaking movie, capable at times of rocking and delighting you.”
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune · 88
“Not a masterpiece, but it's an example of how imagination, craftsmanship, and technological bravura can fashion superior entertainment out of something that is far from flawless.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 88
