This is really good. There is a loooooooooooooot of setup. Like the first hour of this is kinda boring, honestly. But it all pays off in the end. Reminded me of Spider-man 2 in that regard and not (thank goodness) Batman v. Superman. The emotional beats connect. The new characters are fun. The ending isn't a portal opening up in the sky. This is a strong, strong movie.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I've seen its tone described as a "mystery". Would you agree with that?
Yeah, that's a good description of it. One of the reasons the first hour tries viewers' patience is because it's not really clear what's going on.
End credit sequences?
We only got one, which was probably the lamest of them. It's not even worth spoiling.
(That said, the end of this film is good enough that the post-credits sequences are going to take some of the air out of it, which is too bad. I guess they could, like, do a quick jaunt over to visit the Guardians or something.)
