Wow, just wow.

Rating: 3/10 (22 January 2018)

I don't know how people are giving this movie a 10/10, I really don't. I completely understand that art is subjective but this is sad.
This movie is overflowing with jokes, normally in a comedy movie this would be normal, but this is a super hero film with dire consequences which seem to go ignored for most of the movie. The story was barely there to the point where even the characters didn't notice it. But don't worry jokes are always around the corner. Very important character dies, 30 seconds later... jokes. Losing a very important weapon, 30 seconds later.... jokes. Home is getting destroyed while the people get killed, 30 seconds later.... jokes. No event carries any weight, everything gets shrugged off with lame low hanging jokes. I don't mind comedy mixed in with super hero movies, I love Guardians of the Galaxy and Iron Man, but this was just bad.
I seriously thought in the beginning that this was a Thor parody, because it plays like one. Bad jokes, breaking character for a laugh, odd cameos, and scenes that are on par with any low budget film. The acting suffered from this plot free for all frequently. No reason to try I guess, say the lines and go home. I really wonder who put less work in between the actors and the writers, any awards or praise should be given to the CGI team. They created a beautiful world and great effects, unfortunately that alone doesn't make a good movie.
The villain of this movie offered no sanctuary from the mediocrity, she was a cookie cutter villain with a plan to destroy and rule and.... that's pretty much it. Nothing philosophical here, just plain old kill and rule everything, for what? Who knows. But don't worry because I know killing sounds serious, but luckily she will joke around the whole time.
The lack of urgency and care about what is going on shows on the actor's faces but ultimately bores the audience, at least me and a very small minority it appears. Like I said in the beginning I can't understand for the life of me how anybody in their right mind could give this a 10 star rating. When I saw that, I was concerned that I was going insane. The deluge of jokes was cringe-worthy and detached any sense of weight the events of this movie had. I give this a 3, a very charitable 3. I pray for the souls that gave this movie a 10.
