[{"selector":"#anim-2afcaaba-345b-4b17-879d-660df1891a9c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-9.296296206983468%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c884a88-2df5-47f1-af26-4c54aa306969","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b8674157-3423-4e57-8058-a1254607115e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-126.97841%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f49bfefe-c11f-40cc-b8fa-22746b9167ed","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bfc08ca2-f9da-4d87-8403-e6c8a87b1a8b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-156.90377%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] However, Dwayne Johnson is still calling it a success by comparing it to Marvel's Captain America starring Chris Evans.

However, the movie failed to impress the fans.
