--I didn't see you in the cinema last night. Why?
--I ______ the movie. It isn't as good as I hoped.
A. have watched B. had watched
The given answer is 'had watched'. It seems reasonable to use the past perfect here because the action 'watched' took place before last night. But the sentence that follows use the 'now' time reference, so I should think 'have watched' seems fine too. Or should it have been 'It wasn't as good as I hoped'? Am I right?
Thank you in advance.
