[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9679576, member: 18"] Yeah it's a very disappointing film. The writing comes alive briefly a handful of times in the movie, but for the most part it was turgid and clunky. And god so many of the fight scenes and action scenes were utterly terrible, like badly edited, looked fake as hell even by superhero movie standards (which is a product of a lot of factors, but in the end usually comes down to directing, editing, and sound design) and just drained energy out of the film. I've seen Mackie do better fight scenes in Netflix B-movies so I know it's not on him. The only even decent action scene was the aerial combat one, which wasn't perfect but it was fine. The vs. Red Hulk one was also less bad than the rest, but still not good (also hilariously anime-esque in that this giant point-blank partially-inside-the-body explosion leaves everyone mildly battered but essentially unharmed) - very interesting that the two action scenes they got to kinda work were absolute CGI-fests - normally its the reverse. (I did appreciate the "I shoulda taken the damn serum" line, which had "I'm getting too old for this" vibes) [/QUOTE]
