Great performances, exhilaratingly detailed visuals very akin to the source material, bold story concepts and a distinct directorial style that weaves a new kind of Marvel experience. One of intensity, mysticism and horror!

Unfortunately, it suffers from much of the cataclysmically confusing and infinitely inconsistent world-building present in much MCU content nowadays. Dialogue is needlessly peppered with juvenile, insipid jokes that muddy the drama or stakes of the story and characters, the protagonist is an unusual far cry from his pre-established level of intellect and resourcefulness he previously demonstrated, the main villain is bafflingly unlikable and ham-fisted in execution, the established forces of good in this series are bizarrely absent despite this being the highest possible stakes set in the Marvel movies on record, scenes of calmness and natural assessment for characters to better connect them with the audience are missing in favor of big action spectacles, intense verbal confrontations or the same cookie cutter gags eminating the stench of a first draft. And above all else, it leaves a disheartening impression of having to juggle many themes and internal narratives at once while failing to satisfyingly conclude any of them

Certainly not a movie I would recommend to comic book fans, action cinema fans or really anybody who desires anything more than a colorful computer generated explosion or a well-known actor proficiently delivering a poorly written jest at the expense of any serious investment in this story. Unmemorable mediocrity.
