Kenneth Branagh looks bad as a director in this film, and while I understand that the Disney studio machinery might have a lot to do with it, he still has a high degree of responsibility for this frustrating, messy and incoherent work.
And there's obviously an interesting idealization behind this story, but its remarkable lack of emotion and entertainment completely destabilizes it and what remains as I said is the inevitable death of a franchise, because unless the film does well in Disney +, I doubt very much this story gets a sequel.
