If we think about all the movie, it is good. But it loses 1 point for being too long. I think it could be 2.30 or 2 15. And it loses another point because I rate every movie and series out of 9 to remember that nothing is good enough to be perfect. I don't want to talk about movie because I think it is better to see it yourself. And don't forget 'Ducks Never Ever Die!'
