Feedback: I haven't been an expert with english and literature. But with that said, this is one of the most boring and tideous film to watch. It's so up there with Joy. I was almost falling asleep watching throughout the whole thing, except the visuals, the music and climax were impressive.

With the editing cutting to fast with these characters and too many things going on, it makes the pacing very inconsistent and fustrating at the same time. But also, there were really loud jumpscares at a few parts that were very annoying.

Positives:

• Cool backgrounds

• Good soundtrack

• Very dark tone quality and likeable

• Impressive explosions on buildings and spreading fires

• Awesome visuals with the creatures and the statue of the horse.

Negative:

• Unintrigued with greek mythology

• Atrocious editing

• Mediocre character motivation

• Bland acting

• Stale dialogue

• Poor pacing

• Forgettable writing

• Confusing structure

• Annoying jumpscare sound effects
