Another very popular and "controversial" film. And by controversial, what I mean is it made a bunch of nerdbros on the internet mad for some reason.

Rating: 6/10 (13 February 2020)

I don't know, some crap about Brie Larson hating white men or something, even though she literally has nothing to do with the writing or production of the movie? I don't get it. Anyway, how is it? It's fine! It's like every single other middle-of-the-road Marvel solo movie ever made. It takes no risks. It's safe, unchallenging popcorn entertainment. There are one or two things I thought this movie did really well, the de-ageing effects are fantastic, the '90s setting was fun and I kinda liked the Star Wars-ish vibe it had at times, but other than that this is just a serviceable, cookie-cutter, nothing-special-about-it superhero movie. How are the characters? They're fine. The story? It's fine. The action? It's fine. The effects? They're fine. The acting? It's fine. The music? It's fine. The comedy? It's fine. The connections with the other movies? They're fine. It's fine. It's not as good as Guardians of the Galaxy, but it's not as bad as Ant-Man and The Wasp. It's okay. There were some kinda bad moments, the writing and social commentary is extremely obvious and on-the-nose and there is an absolutely baffling music choice in one of the final battles that I feel is trying to be like an Edgar Wright movie or GotG but it just sticks out like a sore thumb, but that's about it as far as actual issues I have with it. There just isn't a lot about it that I think is especially good either. I know this movie means a lot to a lot of people and I think that's great. I don't really agree, Wonder Woman did it first and did it better, but I'm glad it did so well financially. Hopefully we'll get bigger and better movies like this out of it. If you haven't seen it already, check it out if you like Marvel movies, skip it if you're like me and you don't really care.
