The next day, several critics made their reviews public. They have written it all night after watching the movie as today was the opening day for [Hex - Part 1]. 

For critics, there were several types of reviews. The good ones, the bad ones, the ones that they enjoyed writing about. For the third category, they either enjoyed writing it because the movie was good or it was so bad that they wanted to let out their frustrations. 

For [Hex - Part 1], it was obviously the first reason. The movie was so good that I had a lot to say about it. 

Some critics even wanted to watch the movie a few times more before giving out a verdict as Olio was known to have a lot of subtle details in his movie. MeTubers have even made complete scene by scene breakdowns of his movies as there were too many details hidden everywhere. 

Others had to put out a review no matter what. In the morning, a lot of reviews came up on Sparrow. 

<Do you know how it feels like reading a fantasy for the first time? The feeling of getting sucked into an imaginary but fantastical world. The movie gives you exactly that and more. It's the perfect rendition of <Hex> on the big screen and you should definitely see it this weekend with your family.

<The biggest worry everyone had about [Hex - Part 1] was the story. How well have they adapted the ? Did they do justice or it's just another half baked attempt at minting a lot of money. The worry was enhanced when the news came out that the movie was now coming in two parts, a decision that was hasty. But when I finished the movie, I realised that all these worries were for nothing. The movie was what every fan of the wanted. 

-Hollywood Weekly.>

<Barring a few places where [Hex - Part 1] falters, it's a complete entertainment. Aiden Silvereye again does what's asked of him and the climax of the movie is something that's one of the best in recent times. It's to the point that I have a hard time controlling myself to know what would happen next. Titan studios might have the big blockbuster they have been looking for. 

-@Top G for LA Times.>

These types of positive reviews were promoted by the marketing team and most people would be happy to know that the movie had done well. 

But that doesn't mean no one disliked the movie. There was a good number of average to negative reviews too, even if it was in a minority compared to the positive reviews. 

It was the same for every movie but for something like [Hex - Part 1], it was given that the movie was going to get at least some form of negative reception as parts of the book were changed for the movie to be of two parts.

<[Hex - Part 1] is a brave attempt but it falls on his head as the movie enters the climax. Olio, despite claiming that he's adapting for the fans, has made big changes compared to the books and although the movie can be considered good, it's not a faithful adaptation at all. 

-Vanity Magazine.>

<Olio Feremen might have made good movies in the past but it's extremely clear that his time is up now as he can't seem to adapt a 80s series for a modern audience. The changes he makes comes off as character breaking and although the VFX might get them some awards, the screenplay is sacrificed for a climax that most people would like as it prepares them for the inevitable part two which is hopefully more than a disappointing movie. 

-The Ironic Times.>

These types of reviews started coming more and more as time went by as a lot of independent critics watched the movie in the earning and gave out their reviews. 

A lot of them felt like the movie was enjoyable but it sacrificed its potential for a great climax that left everyone on a cliff. 

Even with that, people who read the reviews still went to watch the movie. 

***

Darren Bohner was someone who hated his last name but one thing he loved was s and movies. The thing that he loved the most was seeing his favourite be a movie. 

And today was the day when his dream would come true. 

<Hex>, his favourite fantasy series of all time, was getting its big movie adaption and he couldn't wait to see it. Darren had been following news about it since the rumours started and although a lot had been said about the movie, he wanted to be cautiously optimistic. 

When Aiden's scandal broke out, a lot of people around him cancelled their plans of watching the movie but he wasn't like that. He hadn't done that as he didn't care about it. 

His love for <Hex> didn't care about it. 

For the opening day, he had even booked three tickets at timings. One alone in the morning, one with his friends and one with his girlfriend in the evening. 

He was even wondering if he should go to the country which has the first public show of [Hex - Part 1], so he could catch it way before anyone else but he had given up on those plans due to how expensive it was. 

Still, his excitement was at that level. 

In the morning, he was standing outside the theatre, reading through the reviews that had come out, doing his best to avoid any spoilers. He felt happy that a lot of reviews were good but the reviews about not being a good adaptation personally affected him, though he tried to shake his head. 

It was then that he had heard a conversation between two friends who were standing close to him. 

"I don't think we should waste money on it."

"Why?"

"It's not going to be as good as the . It's extremely impossible to imagine the as a movie and Hollywood is after money. I doubt they want to make a good movie."

"We are already here. Let's not complain. It might be good."

"I can bet it's not good."

Hearing that conversation, Darren had felt a bit bad. 

In his mind, he kept muttering one thing. 

'Please be good... Please be good... I will get my girlfriend a ring if it's good... I will even agree to participate in charity kitchens... I don't mind donating to charities too...'

It was almost like he was making a deal with God. 

Like that, he sat inside the theatre hall with fear and expectations in his heart. The movie started soon and he glued his eyes to the screen. 

When the first scene came up, he felt like a weight lifting from his heart. 

As beautiful blue skies came up and from the eyes of a bird that Darren recognised as a major character in the books, the world of <Hex> was shown.

Beautiful and weird buildings, the clothes, the people and the unique magic of the world with a brooding sense of darkness to it. Darren felt everything and he felt the feeling that he had felt twenty years ago. 

The feeling of reading <Hex> for the first time. 

It was then that someone shouted and the long shot of the world changed to a closeup of a person. It was Aiden who was running away from someone. 

'Blaze.'

He thought in his mind and looking at his appearance and the world, Darren became relaxed. 

For the next two hours, he lost himself in the warm blankets of the world of [Hex] and it was so safe that his childhood dream of seeing a good adaptation of his favourite on the big screen became a reality.

Although some critics were two way about [Hex - Part 1], the public reception was only one way. 

And it was mighty positive. 

Most people who have watched the movie have liked it a lot, there were parts people felt were boring but the climax made up for everything. 

The word of mouth spread like wildfire as the marketing team took the interviews of people who have watched the movie and put it on their social media platforms. 

Because of that, a lot of people hastily booked a ticket. 

The first day collection was an astounding 120 million dollars worldwide with 70 million coming from the North American box office. 

Just on the first day of its release, the movie had become the king of the box office. 

It was released on a Thursday, so it was expected to take a fall on Friday before rising up on Saturday. And that's what happened. 

But the expected fall was much lower than expected. 

On Friday, it got 47 million dollars in North America and 80 million dollars worldwide and on Saturday, it was at 74 million dollars in North America and 127 million dollars worldwide. 

In the first three days of its release, the movie was a certified blockbuster.
