Just got back from seeing it. I might talk more about plot spoilers later but for non spoiler comments;
I enjoyed this quite a bit. HOWEVER, I can see this being a polarizing film depending on the type of fan of the MCU you are. For example, if you've seen all the MCU stuff (movies/TV shows) and have a good knowledge of the comics, this movie rocks. If you don't have a good knowledge of the comics but just watch the movies, it'll still be enjoyable but there will be plenty of stuff you miss or don't get. Also, you absolutely MUST see WandaVision before seeing this movie. If you haven't, you'll likely be lost as to what's going on.
Also, if you have young children, you think about maybe NOT letting them see this. MCU movies to date have been kid friendly. This isn't. There are scenes and images that might be a little much for kids under 10. So if you're parent with little ones, just be aware of what you think your kid can handle. There's blood, people die gruesome deaths (MCU hardly ever shows deaths), there's zombies, there's demons, ghosts, jump scares, etc. It's nothing a mature preteen can't handle, but some kids will have issues with it.
Overall, I enjoyed it. It was non-stop action. Story is just ok and its beautiful yet tragic end for one character
Elizabeth Olsen is fantastic, continuing her work from WandaVision
. If the movie slowed down in parts, some of the story would be better. I'd grade the film as a B.
Quick spoiler notes;
They listened to the fans and casted Jon Krasinski as Reed Richards!!! I popped huge for that. It got a loud reaction in my audience too.
Loved the X-Men theme song instrumental when Xavier first wheeled into the room
Really run Evil Dead nod there with the last post credits scene. Plenty of people won't get it, but if you've seen those movies, you will
I'll see the movie if it means I can justify the time spent watching Wanda/Vision. If Marvel can do that, then they have performed a miracle and people should proclaim their headquarters a holy site and pilgrimage to it.
