If you are confused by the negative reviews, read this

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2019)

I'm not even supposed to be up at this time, having an important test tomorrow, but I can't help it. I HAVE TO write this.
Just watched it, had the date marked in my calendar and all. Expectations were high. After 10 years, I have to say I live for moments like this: Marvel premieres, Stan cameos, scenes that keep me at the edge of my seat, and so on. That's how we roll.
So, first: the story didn't go as I thought it would. Major plot twists. Came in preconditioned, only to be tossed with my predictions all over the place. The movie does have heart and charm. I shed some tears, even. It's well worth a watch.
Now, as religion dictates, came to IMDb after. To my surprise, LOTS of negative reviews, complaints, whining. Many say it's dull, boring, forced, disappointing. Took my time to read several of them. To save you the hassle: Believe those who rate it 7, I do think they're the most objective.
I think the problem with some folks here is that they expect EVERY MARVEL MOVIE must be a Civil War, or Infinity War, or Black Panther. Guess what: they ain't. Nor they should be. Every entry in the MCU is its own, and you know what? That is just fine. You all may have your preferences, and we will agree every other day, but I do think all the hate is not fair. Neither the movie nor the character have to prove anything to you.
To sum up: Stop expecting every Marvel movie to be absolutely better than the previous one, or you'll grow tired of it too quick. Appreciate. The world is a better place because this film was made, even if it's not your cup of tea. Go watch it, and then speak your own mind up; don't let haters deter you.
I had fun, my heart was touched. I do applaud more female characters steal the spotlight like this, even if the flick is "bland" or "underdeveloped". So what? Should we silence them? Aren't female characters or light stories worth of some silver screen? Let them be! This movie makes a statement and, for me, that's well worth a 7 out of 10. And for the Stan cameo and tribute, an extra star.
Just chill and enjoy the Marvel blessings, y'all.
