Not bad… but not very good either.

Movies like this should start with a bang. Start with a bang it did not. Do you love Harrison Ford though? If you do, you should enjoy this. He’s all over it! It’s starts with him and ends with him. He’s serious, he’s angry, he’s confused, he’s sad, he’s happy…I respect him a lot and enjoyed a lot of his movies but let’s be honest, he’s getting old and it showed here. Not enough action and too much Harrison Ford. These are the two main issues. On the plus side, Tim Blake Nelson played the villain very well and the majority of the cast did a good job. Also, im a sucker for 3D movies at the theatre, I just love the experience. My rating: 6.5/10

I saw it tonight and gave it a solid 7/10.

I enjoyed it. It wasn't all that. Mediocre for sure, but a fun two hours. I've seen every MCU movie in theaters and plan to keep that up, at the least.

Problem is, by the time you're #35 in a franchise, hard to really stand out. And even if Endgame isn't your favorite, it's hard to argue the fact that that's an inherently tough film to follow, being the quintessential climactic pay-off. Especially paired with Infinity War. Not every movie can reach such heights. Nor should they, it would be exhausting.

But I like the Sam Wilson character, though he's no Steve Rogers. Steve's longevity gives him a mysticism that Sam just can't reach. And Harrison Ford turning into the Red Hulk was a lot of fun. But, Betty could've been used a bit more, and it would've been a great place for Hulk to reappear, helping to further reconcile the recasting of the character. And hey, if they'd brought those two back, there could've been a love story involved, and helped it reach that 2.5 hour mark that the epic MCU movies love.

I also enjoyed that they brought back Celestial Island

Being that this was a sequel to The INCREDIBLE HULK, not having Banner in the movie made 0 sense when everyone else returned, unless it just would've looked awkward having Ruffalo take credit for a movie Edward Norton was in??
