Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

Exaggerating or sensationalizing aspects of the story to attract attention.

Replace 'embarrassing, poorly told mess' with 'received mixed reviews.'

Biased language

Using language that unfairly favors one side over another.

The article uses phrases like 'embarrassing, poorly told mess' and 'meandering' to describe the film, which are subjective and biased.

Use more neutral language such as 'received criticism for its storytelling' instead of 'embarrassing, poorly told mess.'

Replace 'meandering' with 'critics noted a lack of clear direction.'
