Solid for a Marvel film.

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2018)

I think it's easy to pick out for yourself the quality negative reviews here as opposed to the more...basely...motivated ones. For me, the film was a great addition to the Marvel film universe. One can only take more of the same scenery, same villains, same "high stakes". I think this was fresh and successful in it's goal. I enjoyed the acting, I enjoyed the laughs, and I enjoyed that the laughs and the film were for a broader audience. The villain was much more compelling than your run of the mill Marvel villains and he delivered a line towards the end that made me cry with empathy. The film wasn't black and white, which is where I think it won me over. There's nothing I despise more than an average, black and white, superhero film. There was a lot of grey and nuance here. While some characters could have had more opportunity to shine (the queen, for example), I think this was ultimately a successful and worth watching film. The scenery was beautiful, costuming was executed fantastically, the score was great, the female characters were fleshed out and I really enjoyed the main "romance" where I do not usually. Certainly near the top of the Marvel pile.
