Finally my country is in the list where the movie will be aired. I resisted watching online because I wanted to see it in local theaters, hoping that we would be blessed enough. It feels like everyone I know has already seen the movie, so it's not easy to stay in track, lol. I'm glad to see it reaching such success for the first movie. I had expected the movie to be relatively slow and lay down the basic info for the next ones, given that this is the first part of 3-part series. I hope I'm proven wrong. Or should I lower my expectations a bit?
