Even though the plot has been repetitively done before this, it still gathered a lot of attention. The comedic yet extremely bloody delivery of most action scenes in the film adds a level of excitement and keeps the audience hooked on the screen. The most appreciated factor of the movie by many is that the princess is not shown as a damsel in distress. She reflects confidence, charisma, and the ability to beat up anyone in her way

Besides its comedic and action aspects, the movie also delivers the most heartfelt emotions through the concept of multiverse. It shows how many things and difficulties in people’s lives can be solved with just kindness. All comedic scenes are such that they will make viewers fall from their couches, but at the same time it also induced tears and shock. The hyperactivity of the movie while showing the multiverse is so chaotically perfect that it keeps viewers glued to the screen. One thing to be careful of is the photo sensitivity of the movie. Viewers with ADHD and hypersensitivity would be advised not to watch it because of the visual triggers.
