Amazing....If you're 15 and have A.D.H.D

Rating: 7/10 (10 August 2014)

To be fair, Marvel announced many moons ago that it would be taking "liberty" with the stories it gives a green light to be made into film. That is all well and good, because the characters in this film are as pointed out elsewhere "not well known". Indeed I do not think that many in the movie going audience will be, aside from the old school comic fans.
That being said, let me address my qualms with this film. I hate to be "that guy" here but I love film as most of you do, so lets have at it shall we? This film was far to quickly paced for all that it hoped to encompass. It felt like one giant set-up scene for comic relief which it used in grandiose fashion as it replayed the same set-up formula over and over. There were some splendid shots in this film completely ruined for me at least by the entry of yet more misplaced comedy. There was little if no serious context in the film at all, a fact for which I am disappointed. No amount of cgi can make up for the abuse of a film element that plays on ad-nauseam until no hope remains for anything serious enough from the film finally makes it to the audience to salvage an otherwise good idea.
It may be fresh as far as Marvel movies are concerned, but that is really no feat in itself is it? How long have they been playing the same worn out record? OH! they were bought by Disney, that's right! I almost forgot about that depressing fact. No hope for originality. I was not overly impressed by this film. It was pretty, It was colorful, but I felt it failed the characters involved by being too corny to accurately portray them.
