I recently saw the movie The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. I went into the theatre without any preconceived notions of what the movie should be about, and I enjoyed it. I thought the movie had a well written, creative story and that it was well acted. Apparently the movie hasn't been well received by critics, but there have been movies that they raved about as being fantastic, that I thought were awful, so there seems to be a disconnect between their perceptions and mine.
