On the other hand, its IMDB score is far better at 6.9/10 suggesting it's [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff more popular in foreign markets]]. Also, audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.

* BrokenBase: The music choice for the first trailer being Kanye West for whatever reason, with most comments being split between distaste for the actual song (and how it doesn't suit the trailer) and distaste for Kanye. If there are any internet comments speaking positively about the selection, they are very well-hidden or go on ignored. The most positive comments about the trailer song are along the lines of: [[DamnedByFaintPraise "They should have just used an instrumental version"]]. There are also those who have remarked that the music editing and even choice of modern music correlates with the use of similar music for the franchise's cinematic trailers.
