RecommendedTrusted family reviewers

Didn't find enjoyment with this, personally. I found things a bit off with <em>'Missing Link'</em>, none of it really clicked for me - it's without a little added oomph. I was watching it unfold, as opposed to feeling invested in it. The plot is fine, just a bit bland. I found the dialogue decent, particularly with Link's schtick - though that wore off eventually.…

Not recommendedTrusted family reviewers

Can we please go back to a world where voice actors exist... Oh and bland stories don't, ideally? _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
