how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 51 comments (49 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 15 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 15 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“I found myself unsure quite how the plot had arrived at the point it had, perhaps mid way through”

“they seem to glance over far too much at the beginning”

“Around the middle it sort of capitulates into a mish-mash of same-old-same-old, I actually fell asleep for a while”

“There is a lot less of thrill in its first act since it spends too much of time on setting each character's perspective and their sub-plots that are mundane”

“keep the crisp alive on screen especially in its last act which is fast and exhilarating if flawed”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit though, gets the international-espionage ingredients almost exactly right.”
Stephen Whitty, Portland Oregonian · 83
“Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is half silliness, half swagger, but Branagh's arms-akimbo impudence as a director makes it work. He takes it all seriously, but with a wink.”
Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice · 80
“Soundly structured, smart and fast, with a plausible central scenario, several gripping moments and well-wrought dialogue.”
Kyle Smith, New York Post · 75
“In keeping his actors on his sober-yet-buoyant plane, Kenneth Branagh presents a convincing romance that doesn't stall the film's brisk clip.”
R. Kurt Osenlund, Slant Magazine · 75
“Even with its thrifty set pieces and smaller ambitions, this attempt to reboot the series based on Tom Clancy characters does the most important thing right: It almost always feels like a Jack Ryan movie.”
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle · 75

“Chris Pine does a really good job, brings his A-Game. Keira Knightley, well, OK, she is pretty under-rated and ALWAYS seems to bring her A-Game even to the worst possible movies.... and she brought her A-Game again. And Kevin Costner, well he can be off the mark every now and again, but he seemed to try his best to make this movie good. And that is why it's watchable. Pine, Knightley, and Costner all bring their best games to this film and do their absolute best to make Shadow Recruit a”
