WillBird Box 2Match Its Predecessor’s Success?
The original 2018 film faced a similar reception from critics in terms of scores, yet it defied expectations by becoming the most successful Netflix film to date. It continues to hold the esteemed position as the third most-watched Netflix original movie of all time.
Hence, whileBird Box: Barcelonamay not be receiving overwhelming critical acclaim, it doesn’t necessarily imply that the movie won’t find success on the platform. However, considering the numerous criticisms it has garnered, it may be worth deliberating whether it is worth watching.
Despite the first film receiving its fair share of criticism, Sandra Bullock’s performance emerged as a beacon of light within an otherwise average movie, captivating the attention of many viewers.
In this iteration, Sandra Bullock is absent, and althoughBird Box: Barcelonafeatures talented Spanish-speaking actors such as Mario Casas and Diego Calva, it appears that there isn’t a performance on par with the standout presence that marked the originalBird Box.
Bird Box: Barcelonawill be available for streaming on Netflix starting July 14.
