This was a decent enough movie. Good story and well executed. But too "adult". I'm sorry, but when these comic book films all try to go the way of The Watchmen or The Killing Joke, it's too much for me to enjoy. Not because I am so appalled by the excessive violence, adult tones, and foul language (though I don't care for it), but because it so out of place. I don't want to see my heroes and villains slicing each other to bits. I want to see a decent story play out. A really great story doesn't need to shock in order to create emotional response. I see this as lazy and infantile.
I won't even start on Gods and Monsters (2015). Marvel is no better, what with Daredevil and Deadpool. It's all so stupid to me. The Avengers was a fantastic film. It didn't need to resort to Deadpool level gross-out and potty mouth antics to be good.
2.5/5
