NOT WORTH YOUR TIME

Rating: 3/10 (9 March 2019)

The plot is incredibly derivative of every sci-fi and hero flic before it which makes the movie extremely predictable and uninteresting. You could argue that every hero film is basically a carbon copy of a former hero film but this brings absolutely nothing new to the table.

This has to be said

The MCU is pretty famous for bringing female characters to their films that are just automatically stuck up and tougher than every other male character. You can have tough female role models who aren't completely alpha to every guy around them but no one in Hollywood does that.

Look at Thor. He taller, stronger, and better looking than almost every other avenger on the team. Iron Man is arrogant, smarter than basically everyone, and has arguably the most advanced super suit. The movies DO NOT make these two the most alpha characters in the room and always make jokes at their expense because they wouldn't be likable otherwise. Same works for women. You can have strong female leads but stop making them dominate every male character in the scene. Obviously they are strong but you don't see Black Panther enforcing his superiority all over everyone that surrounds him despite him being an actual king.

Having said that, this movie wasn't just terrible because of the plot. None of the characters were likable. Nick Fury is great but he makes almost zero impact in this entire movie. It was basically like the producers were just trying to find a way to write him in so we could connect this to Infinity War.
