    Well, that was a bit of a disappointment. I had high hopes for this film going in, been looking forward to it for a while. 

    I don't know where to start, a mixed bag of emotions leaving the cinemas last night really. 

    The premise from the outset was interesting, tense and had a lot of ambition but was unevenly executed. It hooks you with wonder and intrigue. The visuals are outstanding and keep your attention throughout. But the pace stumbles midway…

    A mixed bag with Sam Wilson's Captain America at the helm. Mackie shines throughout and the action sequences are pretty awesome with the exception of a few poor CGI efforts.

    The plot seems rather cluttered and the pacing is a little everywhere with some very underwhelming political elements.

    I'm pretty sure the reshoots and the cut scenes/characters didn't help the overall plot or pacing issues either. 

    Red hulk was a let down with only 5 minutes of screen time!
