All this movie was trying to be was a superhero movie that appeals to twelve-year-olds. It achieves that. If I had have seen this when I was twelve, it probably would have been my favourite MCU movie ever.
I can see why a lot of people were unhappy with this one because it doesn't really do much beyond that, and there have been much better ones in the last few years. However, I think people are being a bit silly if they saw this movie and expected it to be anything other than a CGI heavy movie for 12-year-olds.
For the most part, I do think this movie works, though. Pretty much all the jokes land, which hasn't always been a given in the MCU movies of the last five years or so. The action sequences are middle of the road, but you can follow what's happening and there's at least some kind of point to them.
I don't think the CGI in this movie is quite as good as the CGI in Guardians of the Galaxy 3. However, it never looks cheap, either. I also feel like they probably should have just picked an aspect ratio and stuck with it because changing the aspect ratio in certain scenes didn't really add anything. This was a problem Thor: Love and Thunder had as well.
Overall, this movie was fine. There's been much better MCU movies over the years, but this is nowhere near as bad as some people are making it out to be.
