Yeah, it's still a well-made movie with good acting, sets, costumes, sound etc. I didn't find myself getting bored. I would recommend giving it a watch, because it's an enjoyable movie, as most of these superhero movies of late are. It's also disappointing (so much more could have been done with these interesting characters), lackluster (the action sequences are incredibly generic and uninteresting), and mediocre (I don't feel it adds anything interesting to a genre of movies that I feel is fast becoming over-saturated in similarity.)

For me, this can go in the 'meh, I was entertained but it's not a very good movie' pile, along with:

7/10 superhero movies:
Age of Ultron, The First Avenger, Thor, Iron Man 3, Amazing Spiderman, Ant-Man, Man of Steel.

For comparison...here are my 8/10 rating superhero movies:
Civil War, Batman vs Superman Extended, Guardians of the Galaxy (9/10), Avengers, X-Men First Class, Deadpool.

Ahhhhh. Gotcha.

I still really want to see it. Not sure I know anyone who'll go with me, though.

We're the horsemen of the Apocalypse! Just one more to arrive...


But seriously, where is Repo? Do I have to harass him back online again?

Klovn: The Movie (2010)
B-
Decent Danish comedy/drama. Would've like a bit more comedy but still an alright movie.

Daylight's End (2016)



>>: C-


Summer Camp (2015)



Tried to be thrilling & suspenseful but tired of watching people for some reason turning into 'rage virus infected' kind of zombies. Meh...

Shelley (2016)



Pretty slow burn or art-house take on pregnancy horror; left quite a number of things unexplained.
