Delivered on the trailer-3 points
After release, creators post a second kind of video: their reaction to the film itself. Reactr scores those the same way it scored the trailer reactions, and the two numbers side by side answer one question: did the movie live up to its trailer? A clear gap in either direction is what separates a film that exceeded its trailer from one that simply delivered on it. How the score works.
