If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
