your classic summer action movie

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2019)

I enjoyed the movie.
Is it a great movie? *looks at the stars he gave it* Nope. Is it a good movie? *looks again* maybe? Is it an okay movie? yep. is it fun? yep. is it flashy? oh yeah? Am I a simplistic man who likes mindless entertainment? No, but it's a marvel movie, I don't sit down to watch those expecting Shakespeare. (and to be fair I wouldn't watch Shakespeare at all, sorry to all thespians out there)
Look. when the premise of a movie is established Marvel woman is powerful beyond all things is going to fight bad guys, why do you look for some political statement or dislike the movie because it didn't play to your desire level of sexiness in a woman (actual complaint from a roommate of mine)
for me the movie wins point on the fact they it subverted one of the biggest conflict in the Marvel Comics (with my roommate also hated, does doesn't have a problem with Samuel Jackson playing Fury, even though in the comics he was white until the movies came along)
I came in to watch fun fight, a bit of well paced humor, touching character interactions and got all three. the fact that we have a woman telling a man she has nothing to prove to him, is just a bonus (that she kicked his ass is just what he deserved)
Look, you want a masterpiece you and add to your mantle? Go watch Citizen Kane or something. You want to sit back have a fun two hour and watch a cat scare people? pick this movie. if you can leave your expectations at the door, you'll have a good time.
