An epic undertaking on a massive scale that definitely pays off

Rating: 9/10 (28 September 2018)

An epic undertaking on a massive scale that definitely pays off - it successfully combines each of the characters (and their franchises) together well, weaving them into a new story which they can all (almost equally) partake in. Visually it is superb with excellent special effects and settings throughout, and there is the right amount of humour spread across the characters. The plot transitions from the different group of heroes well, and manages to balance the story with the action - the slower, emotional scenes often have the same impact as the large scale and explosive actions scenes. However, the same criticisms of the Marvel series of movies are still there - the heroes are thrown about seemingly to no consequence, the plot just trundles along at times with little respite, and some of the fight scenes are so quick so you can't see the action.
