Shame it was the last one in the series

Rating: 7/10 (20 February 2018)

(because the failed reboot doesn't even count)
I thought this was a very nice sequel to the opening film, which had explained how our heroes gained their strange powers and set the stage for an enduring franchise. So I'm sorry there won't be any more follow ups by this engaging cast, since Chris Evans has become overly identified with the very successful Captain America franchise now. What I don't understand is the hostility of some people towards the film, particularly criticism of the acting by an excellent cast from people weaned on the sort of pap served up on US TV and at Saturday matinees. I could understand it if comic book fans had found glaring differences to the Marvel originals, but as films I think they stand up very well and I'm sure they will be well regarded by posterity. Right now there seem to be far too many people with personal axes to grind, which helps to explain the dire state of the country's political situation.
