Ehhhhhhhhh
Chris Evans is a great actor. Plot holes everywhere, unresolved plot lines, storyline a little confusing.
Lot's of unbelievable and unrealistic stuff. Entertaining but even the fight sequences were meh.
Fun cameo's from MCU actors like Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, and Ryan Reynolds.
Plot setup had potential. Oh well.
Action packed. Midway through I thought - "This seems (stylistically) very similar to many Marvel movies." Then the credits came and I saw the Russo brothers directed it.
Lots of violence, very Marvel-esque. Predictable plot, although quite fun to watch.
I enjoyed watching it. Ryan Gosling has this aura of calmness during fight scenes which is truly unmatched by anyone else. It is similar to how the Winter Soldier fights in Marvel movies. Very entertaining.
Fight sequences were violent, but hand to hand combat was really well choreographed. James Young, the fight choreographer for many Marvel movies, did it well here.
Cute. Carried by the stellar acting talent of Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston. You'll be rooting for characters.
Has some deep messaging. Stopped short of 5 stars because it lacked in some plot integrity.
5/5
One of those perfect movies.
Acting is sublime, story is sublime. Classic hero's journey with the perfect touch of Tom Cruise's great acting.
Only downside is some people, will shy away because its not realistic, but that's not what I look for in a movie.
Enjoy this one - it's a favorite.
