Hilarious and action-filled!
Finally managed to watch this movie, and the wait was worth it!
The music is impeccable (as usual), and the comedy is on point. The action is great as well, with tons of thrilling sequences with interesting character designs and well choreographed fights. The environments were also fantastic, with disgusting, slimy scenes everywhere, which really drove home the whole idea of "perfecting" the world being a complete sham.
The plot doesn't leave anything to be desired either. It's interesting and thrilling. The main villain does a fantastic job of being hateable! I thought it was great acting by Chukwudi Iwuji, really outstanding job.
The only thing I didn't like too much was the very notable lack of stakes. Well, obviously there were stakes, but I never got the feeling they could actually fail to get the job done. I never thought that they might actually lose, for once. On one hand, that kinda sucks, on the other hand, it's a comedy-action movie that has great comedy and action. I don't think the lack of tension is a big deal.
What do you think?
Rating: 4/5
still haven't gotten around to seeing it. I loved the first two but I've really been feeling marvel fatigue as of late, and just don't really care anymore.
One one hand I can relate. Endgame was indeed an end of something which they won’t be able to replicate anytime soon or more likely - ever. On the other this is James Gunn’s movie which is pretty much self contained and feels like an actual conclusion to this characters’ story (regardless of whatever Marvel comes up with next). Was going to skip it like I’m doing with most of recent marvel stuff, decided to go to the cinema eventually , definitely did not regret it.
