Saw it yesterday. It was an ok film. Not the best, Capt. America First Avenger for me, of the Marvel fair and not the worst, 2nd Iron Man for me.
The story did seem formulaic and didn’t really have a lot of real drama built into the script. The constant flashbacks seemed more interruptive than helpful. I know what they were trying to say and lead up to at the climax, but Larson just didn’t deliver it with the passion it needed.
Jackson and the cat made the movie. Larson’s acting was robotic at best and didn’t seem to have any real passion.
Overall it was a decent setup for the May Avengers release and gives the fans something to chew on until then. I would have put it out in Dec to space it between Infinity War and End Game better instead of putting it where they did, but they probably didn’t have it ready.
Best - Captain America: Civil War
Worst - Iron Man 3
But the absolute non-MCU Marvel movie was the Fantastic Four reboot. Awful story, awful cast.
I am never going to pay to see that movie. This is like black people paying to watch "Birth of a Nation" or Jews paying to go see "Triumph of the Will." Why on earth would anyone want to support their enemy financially?
When someone has declared themselves to be your enemy, don't pay them!
