Good spectacle and acting - but that's about it

Rating: 5/10 (30 June 2017)

After the first movie which took me by surprise, I was looking forward to this one. I expected something slightly different than the classic marvel film structure and got actually the same thing. Altghough some scenes felt like a "Hey! We are doing it again! Look!" rather than actual part of plot. And that is the biggest problem of this film I feel.
The plot is quite shallow, motivations of villain(s) and sometimes heroes are not expressed, and the whole movie felt like a filler for Marvel fans, to get their dose before Infinity War and save some introduction scenes in that movie. Some jokes were really good, but most felt forced and predictable.
We learn something more about the characters, sure, we get a lot of shooting and explosions and actors do their best, which sometimes feels like a waste of their capabilities in this movie. Its like doing a soup with only spice. It wont taste good without the veg and wont satisfy you without something substantial in it, but most people will eat it and pay for it anyway, even though inside they are still hungry.
POTENTIAL SPOILER AHEAD!!! I feel sad that a brilliant joke, was basically a "teaser" for upcoming Disney remake. The same as in Captain America Civil War, where one joke was teaser for Rogue One... Plus of course teasing upcoming MCU movies. This new norm, making a movie half in a way to showcase upcoming projects makes me sad and little bit angry.
