C) Benson finds the film to be on the whole a satisfying feature, while Fergus has nothing but scorn for the film's quality.

The two reviews take very different attitudes towards the film. Benson summarizes the film and then says that it is "sure to be a box office smash" and that the film "is one film you don't want to miss." She obviously feels that the film is good and worth seeing. On the other hand Fergus does nothing but criticize the film. The review starts with a warning to viewers that the film is not what critics are saying. She calls the film "summer's biggest bore" and states that it's biggest problem is the pacing.
