Thoroughly entertaining

Absolutely absurd and fun!

Evans and de Armas back together again. Love their chemistry and fun seeing their dynamic as romantic interests after their work together in Knives Out.

It's predictable and that's okay. It's meant to be. It's a joy ride. They took a fun concept that's been done many times over and did it their way, like True Lies and Knight and Day. The gave it their own spin and it was fun.

What if your date ghosted you...but it's actually because she's a spy? Love it.

The cameos were utterly, intentionally and hilariously ridiculous. I loved all of it. Some major bonds were made in the MCU. 'Cap' will forever be Evans' legacy. We know that, they all know that, and they played with this. Super fun. Reminds everyone-performers and audiences-not to take Hollywood TOO seriously. The entertainment world's mission is still to entertain. Actors are meant to play varying roles, light and dark, fun and serious.

This time, it was a fun time. I had fun.

I enjoyed watching Evans play an asthmatic former wrestler who had to yield to the expertise of his female counterpart with all the special skills. Refreshing watching him play the Fella In Distress.

The action was fun, thrilling and ridiculous. The comedy delivered. I'll definitely rewatch.

And I'll stop now because I've said "fun" enough times.
