All sorts of trash gets rated above 7 on here.

Two and a half hours of characters quipping, undermining any sense of tension or threat. Then again, when the main villain is also a wisecracker, it kind of fits.

Joss Whedon is a visually illiterate director and the most overrated screenwriter working in Hollywood. The endless and relentless quips do not a good dialogue make. He should've practiced directing between 2012 and 2014. Maybe he could have delivered, at least a competently made movie.

Whedon should stick to TV. It's clearly where he belongs.
