Disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (10 April 2019)

Movieland is saturated by superhero movies. Anymore, I shy away from them because the formula has pretty much been exhausted. I rented this one for a diversion on vacation. My expectations are fairly low these days. I just want an interesting story with good actors which carry the film to the degree that the special effects reinforce them, not carry them. I gave it three stars because it is shiny (not unique shininess though). But the film felt forced and rambling. I took my dog out to pee and didn't miss anything important. It is long and boring. I did think the swirly red scene was interesting visually, but that 30 seconds just seemed to fly bu. If gizmos and big stuff and characters ninja-ing each other work for you then this will be acceptable. If you yearn for semi-original, somewhat cohesive content, you may be disappointed. Too long... too ordinary.
