I liked it. It was a lil clunky, but not so clunky that you’d know that it went through development hell if nobody told you. Some of the dialogue was flat and busy telling the audience what it already showed us, but most of it was competent if not good. I think the humor in this movie wasn’t crazy but it was wayyyyyy better than the standard brand of “Marvel humor” we usually see. The “since when were they red?” line is basically the only moment we get of humor like that, it was quite refreshing. And no, Torres wasn’t annoying in this movie, at least not to me, he was fine (although I don’t like how the writers positioned him for most of the third act). The action was great for the most part even if at times it feels like Cap has Domino’s superpower.

If this movie has a major flaw, it’d be that it borrows many themes and plot points from TWS and CW. But I liked those beats and they were competently handled, so the movie works for me.

I’m astounded by how poorly this movie is being received. Especially considering the rumors surrounding the reshoots and test screenings, it felt to me like it exceeded the expectations those rumors set in my mind by leaps and bounds.
