Michael's Movie Grade: A-
Review: After the intense events of Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel lightens up with a much smaller scale (pun for once not intended) and more lighthearted movie. This film is for the most part, just pure fun escapism. It exceeds extremely well at this and may be one of my favorite Marvel movies.
This film successeds heavily were other Marvel movies have succeeded. By this I mean the relationships and banter between the characters. This is maybe one of the best uses of that though outside of the Guardians movies. True of many of the best superhero team ups, the joy is seeing these two heroes play off each other so well. There is plenty of humor to be found in this film. Nearly all of this humor works perfectly. What works about a lot of the humor is that it is often very clever and imaginative. Just the way our main hero plays a game with his daughter at the begging of this film, is so clever that we are immediately drawn into the movie and the movie keeps our attention completely for the rest of its running time. For a movie that lasts over two hours, time seems to fly by, and when it ended I didn't quite want it to be over. Even the action scenes (which lately I have felt have dragged on much to long in superhero and sci-fi movies) never feel to drag on. The reason for this may because a lot was happening during these scenes and before one bit of action got boring the film simply cut to another bit of action. This kept the suspense going and therefore kept my eyes glued to the screen. Even with all the fun this film was though, when the story needed to be serious it did so very well.
All in all, this film is just a pure fun time at the movies.
