Better than some...

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2017)

...but well short of great.
Good first:
I thought the pacing was decent as was the directing.
The plot and story, while uninspired, did a decent job of introducing a not especially well known character as well as magic into the Marvelverse.
Impressive visual effects.
Always like Cumberbatch and this one was no exception. Overall the acting was well done.
The not so good:
Verged on too long with some slow spots.
While the effects were well done, personally think they should have edited themselves a bit more.
The origin story is relatively close to the original comic book version, which is good and bad. Overall its a bit tired, but much better done than some of its recent roll-outs(cough...Ironfist...cough).
Overall, an okay watch and worth the price of admission.
