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 113 comments (72 from Reddit, 33 from Metacritic, 8 from TMDB reviews) — 39 of them described how it moves.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Around the middle it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Marked above the line: 1 that gave people chills.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
marks: single moments — a jump, a blow, chills, a laugh
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

what people actually wrote

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.

“The moment Miranda Tate speaks those lines about her being poor as a kid, and being just happy with a fire, followed by that closeup of her scar, BAM, I figured out she was after all Thalia Al Ghul, and I also figured out that "the boy" from the Pit we kept hearing about was actually her.”

“Speaking of the Pit, the set looks awesome, and the idea of the Pit is really cool, but this is supposed to be the worst prison on Earth, and all we see is two kind old men, one of them blind, who tender and cure Bruce. And then lots of extras chanting while someone tries to climb. Sorry, but that wasn't a scary prison AT ALL.”

“Despite the lack of any kind of intro or opening credits, there actually is plenty of build-up (partly thanks to the insane opening scene).”
