Monday Morning Maybe

Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a 18% critic score and a lukewarm 6.0 from audiences, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Our take: Maximum spectacle and maximum runtime: robots, explosions and very little else. A box-office hit that audiences rate low.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.
