Shocked by the amount of love this got

Rating: 1/10 (19 July 2018)

I actually fell asleep a couple times while trying to get through this film, so maybe I missed the best 15 to 30 minutes of movie-making history and don't realize it, but man... what I did see was not at all what I expected.
If you really love Marvel movies, check it out, but otherwise, it came off for me as way too much CGI and not enough substance. This wasn't like Spider-Man, Ant-Man, Thor: Ragnarok, Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy or even Doctor Strange where you can go and have a good laugh with some well-written characters and ride along for the action. This requires you to be pretty invested in a lot of background noise with pretty lackluster explanations, cardboard characters and no real payoff. I was expecting something epic to happen and it pretty much came down to the Gungan battle in The Phantom Menace. Entirely unimpressed.
