These guys are not the avengers

Rating: 6/10 (2 May 2017)

I want to start off by saying that I was thoroughly entertained throughout this movie, and would highly recommend it. I must also say that this film has it's issues. Personally, I found the structure a little uncomfortable. I expected that like the first installment and the other Marvel films, that the focus throughout the story would be on an a group of heroes eliminating a great threat. Unfortunately the main antagonist is revealed way too late in the story, leaving the characters rather aimless throughout most of the film. As a result the plot meanders into the territory of sketch show and t.v. drama, but fortunately, still manages to deliver a great final punchline. Although the action, effects and comedy are all very enjoyable, I couldn't help but wonder where it was all leading. Although the story evolves into quite a satisfying conclusion, about two thirds of the way through the film the absence of direction made me worry that the film would end up being a complete mess. That worrying unfortunately soiled the experience a little. I feel that I would probably enjoy the film a lot more the second time around, knowing what to expect.
