The movie was just mediocre. I've seen some people calling it the best marvel movie to date and I just can't wrap my head around it. The pacing was off, the villain was unimpressive, and the cgi was flat out embarrassing at times. I absolutely didn't hate it but it's definitely the only marvel movie I don't think I'll ever bother rewatching.
What did the movie do right that stops those 3 things from making it a terrible movie. Also pacing is a weird thing to pick on since it's very much non objective if you're bored you're bored if you're enthralled you're enthralled biases play a lot into it's final outcome however I agree some movies are blatantly terrible at it so can you provide some non-spoiler examples of that?
Marvel makes everything adequate. Everything is just on par. It stops people from hating them, but there's no real chance for a movie to be amazing too.
I'm not quite sure how to describe it without spoilers because a lot of it has to do with the climax. All I can really say without straight up giving it all away is that it feels like the whole plot of the movie happens within the last 30 minutes or so. Like the entire movie up to that point was a drag without anything really worth talking about happening and then suddenly the main conflict begins and is resolved in what feels like a 10 minute span. I agree that it's mostly subjective and this is the first time I can remember calling out a marvel movie for it but it just felt so blatantly awkward in this film.
Yes, I literally thought to myself (during the aforementioned last 30 minutes), “oh, THIS is IT isn’t it?” Loved the movie but I agree it dragged and then speedran the ending
