So I had high hopes for this movie and was pretty disappointed. The movie starts off very abruptly, but then does not scale back to give a nice building foundation to what will happen later. I found that the biggest areas of concern were pacing and editing. I am sure there were lots of behind the scene disagreements between the director and Disney, as the first 1.5 acts of this film felt like a sci-fi/superhero film, and then the rest progressed to an attempt to make a horror film. The plot itself was a bit sloppy, and I wish they had committed to making a Marvel horror movie rather than the tug-of-war between genres that was produced.

This movie seems to be a vehicle to introduce some larger concepts/elements to the MCU, but was done in a rushed and underwhelming way that cheapened the whole experience.

The VFX and concept visuals were all very well done of course, and the visual aspect of this film is what most of the stars are going to in my review.
