Ratings and reviews

i don't even know what to call this abomination of a movie, 2 of the like 4 million characters actually had a role that made sense. the story of these characters wasn't making sense, if you're telling me these guys could've met jesus and still don't know how to stick together, there's something wrong with them. why is there a 9000 year old ginger child that just brought the movie down altogether, so glad sprite isn't an eternal anymore. morbius is unironically better than this

A film no one really asked for or carerd about, the biggest expansion to the marvel universe sadly turned out to also be the most uninteresting. A weak acting level turns this into a poor man's justice league, as a knock off superman a dried up wonderwoman, a wanna be flash and a bat-a-rang throwing gadget man attempt to hold your interest till the credits roll and fail miserably. The lead actress known for playing a robot in humans proves the only thing robotic about her is her acting skills.

Was really looking forward to this film but was heavily disappointed. The worst Marvel film. If you're a Marvel fan no doubt you will want to watch it anyway but wouldn't recommend you waste your money, wait until its on discount at least. Feels like they went with a bit of DC route cool scenes and imagery but awful character development and a weak / non-sensical plot. A terrible shame and sadly if this is a sign of things to come then the MCU has well and truly ran its course.
