Not your standard Marvel movie.

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2018)

A less typical Marvel superhero movie which has great special effects, a superb African culture and setting, and a more human story. The story is good, with some surprises and a balanced mix of action, character development, and humour, but it does drag on at times and has a few holes. The wide range of characters each have their own appeal and show a much more human side to the proceedings, but none really stood out and the villains were disappointing in their simplistic desires. The special effects and fight scenes are great, being fast paced, energetic and not overly destructive, but as with most Marvel movies, the hero is too indestructible and as a consequence, any threat to him never seems real.
