I've been avoiding MCU films, as they've been directed lately by those that gave us the travesty that is "You, Me & Dupree",... but this one is by Sam Raimi, so it should be a standout, & possibly another one of his masterpieces, right? WRONG!!!

This is basically another random piece in the endless jigsaw puzzle that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, meaning that, unless you have a photographic memory for the infinite storylines & characters in the series, you might as well not bother. As with most of the entries in this franchise, I felt completely lost & disinterested.

I don't go to these films wanting to be disappointed, but they constantly let me down, because they are not made for fans of good cinema, but for indiscriminate buffs of MCU lore.

Also, Benedict Cumberbatch does not suit an American accent.
