I am rather confused about the negativity (or maybe not)

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2019)

Look, I didn't like the first act a lot. The amnesia angle rarely makes for great entertainment in my eyes and this movie is no exception.
I don't think every joke landed, although after reading some quotes, I have the impression that some stuff was lost in translation (I watched it in German). Not every action scene was as good as most others in marvel movies.
So, why still eight points. Eight points for me is a rating for a movie that is either plain good without being extraordinary or a good movie, which lesser things are compensated by the good.
The latter is th case for me here. I liked Brie after the first few scenes. Her acting is good and the flat acting some complain about is actually motivated by the story and shows her growth or rather rediscovering who she is.
I like the message and the way she overcomes the obstacles.
For all those complaining how she is too powerful and was never in danger: did you actually watch the movie? Yes, I the end she is pretty overpowered, which is one reason this character could not join the MCU earlier, but until that point in the story? She gets her ass kicked a few times and is never shown as actually much more powerful than any other character. Only after she uses her full potential could I agree, but that is the climax, so not really different from many movies, especially in this genre, and fitting for this character.
All in all this is not a great movie for me, but a good one, an entertaining one.
