I've seen it once, I don't need to see it again.

You know when you go on a rollercoaster ride with one of your parents? And, bless them for coming along, but they always complain afterwards that they feel sick, their back hurts and that they're just glad it's finally over? That's the reaction I had to this one folks.
With so many name characters having to have a slow pan, tilt up to face reveal shot before doing anything all the way through this film I was getting deja vu about one third of the way through the film, only to find the rest of it had to be so fast paced in order to keep all of those plates spinning at once, that your eyes and brain never get a chance to rest. For most of the movie all that's really happening at any one point is "Remember these two guys? Let's have them meet for the first time. And now we'll cut to a fight between them and another band of generic villains".
That doesn't make for a bad movie, but that can summarise what happens in this film roughly 4 or 5 different times, and unfortunately the break-neck pacing idea seems to have caught on because after seeing this movie I've noticed almost every other new film I've watched since try to do the same race through their story beats that more often than not leaves me tired.
I don't know, I've never been a huge fan of the Marvel Movie Machine, it's definitely had a handful of great films amongst it's wide variety of mostly pretty good ones, but this definitely falls into that second category - worth seeing if you're into these movies, but I'm definitely not going to sit through the whole thing again.
