It's a damn shame...

This was a very entertaining movie. It was full of energy, adventure, some clever set pieces and humor. It was, in short, a fun good time at the movies. Nothing more or less.
It's a shame that it's box office is not living up to expectations. I don't think any of the people involved in this movie did anything to upset fans and it seems to me that they really gave a lot of themselves to craft a solid piece of entertainment.
Really too bad.

I think it is suffering a bit from the lackluster Last Jedi, but I think these things are having a bigger impact:

-Being released too close to the last one.
-Being released during a very competitive summer that already has a box office leader, Infinity War.
-Not being marketed very well.

I will definitely catch it in the theater, but not until next weekend.

Good points. I think, in time, it will gain in popularity. It's actually very well done!
