Review

  • Great visuals (+1/2)
  • Very “readable” combat scenes (+1/2)
  • Characters are a bit “meh” (-1/2)
  • Story gets better after 30 minutes (+1/2)
  • Low expectations, slightly surpassed (+0)

I had heard bad things about the movie, so I was braced. I was bored during the first half hour, but things got better. As a Marvel movie, this is probably one of the least interesting ones, on par with the first (and second) Ant-Man, but if you check your brains at the door, you might enjoy the visual FX and the fight scenes.

Score: 6/10
