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 110 comments (67 from Reddit, 39 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 18 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 18 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 first half is entertaining at least”

“The second half gets way too serious for a BAYWATCH movie.”
AlbertisYoung16 · Reddit ↗
“I enjoyed 90% of it and felt 70% of it was a good movie.”

“The beginning scene where the chick gets her head smashed against the rock was kinda severe”

“all of us felt like walking out of the cinema about 3/4 of the way through the movie”

“I got one genuine laugh, and it was at the end when The Rock told Effron to pick up the arm (or was it a leg?) because it was "good luck"”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“The actors are what save it. Not only does Johnson build on his subversive persona of hulking, dim-witted likability, but he’s joined by Neighbors’ Zac Efron, today’s reigning king of the hazy one-liner.”
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out · 80
“Baywatch...is for those fans who couldn’t resist the show’s soapy charms. New ones who crave a summer blockbuster comedy might enjoy how much it not only owns its dumbness but hurtles itself all the way back around through a flurry of genitalia jokes and F-bombs to splash unapologetically in an R-rated surf of winking postmodernism.”
Jen Yamato, Los Angeles Times · 70
“Baywatch won’t blow anything out of the water (except for the boat it sets on fire), but it will certainly make a splash.”
Jude Dry, IndieWire · 67
“Like its source material, Baywatch is sleazy and wholesome, silly and earnest, dumb as a box of sand and slyly self-aware. It’s soft-serve ice cream. Crinkle-cut fries. A hot car and a skin rash. Tacky and phony and nasty and also kind of fun.”
A.O. Scott, The New York Times · 60
“It’s the smart-ass nerd’s Baywatch. The movie is okay, though, if you don’t mind manic pacing and icky dick jokes.”
David Edelstein, New York Magazine (Vulture) · 60

“La série dont est inspirée cette horreur est déjà réputée pour sa débilité mais qu'à cela ne tienne ! "on" a décidé ici de se surpasser et de faire péter tous les records au débilemètre. C'est à un tel point qu'on a très vite l'impression de regarder un "Scary Movie" ou autre caricature grotesque à petit budget qui se fout ouvertement de la gueule des grosses productions et licences hollymerdiennes. Bref, l'humour à la "American Pie" est de sortie avec par exemple un gros geek qui passe trop sa”

“Essentially it tries to do for Baywatch what Phil Lord and Chris Miller did for 21 Jump Street. It's stupid, nonsensical, and unnecessarily vulgar. All things I'm usually okay with provided the movie is funny. Baywatch just isn't really. The movie at it's best when it's reveling in it's own absurdity. Something it isn't able to do all that much of as it never gets as goofy or over-the-top as it needs to. The majority of jokes here are of the same variety you'll find in any other modern R-rated c”

“When lifeguards turned homicides! In the 90s, when the original television series was aired, I was just a kid. Then it was too sexy, that I was not allowed to watch. The world has changed so much all these years. I always wanted to see that, but never had a chance. Now a film, possibly a new franchise if it all goes well. There were lots of expectations on it, but the film did not deliver that. Yet they have already announced a sequel. The bay security team is now recruiting new members. Three”
“Baywatch is a movie based off the popular TV show of the same name which launched the careers of such acting talents as Yasmine Bleeth and Pam Anderson. And then those quickly died right afterwards but hey, the show ran like 11 years and little known fact, Jason Mamoa was on spin-off show Baywatch: Hawaii. The movie is very much like the show; as in if you walk in expecting to take it seriously you're already watching it wrong. The situations people need to be rescued from are just as ridicul”
