Visually Stunning, Otherwise Like A Below Average Marvel Movie

Rating: 7/10 (25 December 2018)

I saw someone in another review say that the 10/10s are bots. I hope so...because that's really the only explanation I can understand. Who would give this a 10?
The movie isn't bad. You'll be entertained if your expectations aren't too high. But there's some bad acting and really cringe worthy lines. Some of the plot doesn't make sense, and the parts that do are 100% predictable.
Ordinarily I would give this movie a 6 or even a 5, but there are two redeeming graces that make it stand out.
First, the visuals. Yes, about 80% of what you seen on screen is CGI, but it blends very well and does not look out of place. If you don't notice it, who cares?
In the age of Marvel, Star Wars, and other spectacles, it's not easy to impress me with visuals alone. What really pushes this one over the edge is the art direction. It's creative, beautiful, and sometimes frightening.
The second redeeming aspect of this movie is a very heart warming love story. It's not even close to the focus of the movie. A second love story gets much more time, and falls completely flat.
But the first love story is a surprising spot of tenderness in a blow um ups blockbuster.
This movie is a solid 7. The people giving it 10s are raising your expectations way too high. If you believe them now, you'll probably be very disappointed when you see it.
Don't expect too much and you'll enjoy yourself.
