Thought it was good but definitely didn’t blow my mind or anything. I honestly left the theatre a bit underwhelmed, but not dissatisfied. I’d give it an 8/10.
Do you think you were influenced by the reviews of it being fantastic and then let down because your elevated expectations weren't met or do you think regardless of when you saw it would your reaction been the same.

I always wonder about this as generally the second or third week a popular movie is out the reviews from people start to be it was good but not that good. Is this because the people who really wanted the movie to be good go first and they are predisposed to liking it more or the latter where people going later have had their expectations raised and therefore are disappointed.

I know for me going in I thought this movie wasn't going to work and was prepared for it to be mediocre and it blew me away with what they accomplished in terms of character and motivation. So my low expectations definitely made me think this movie was better than say someone who came in with a neutral stance.
