It’s almost like the Russo brothers saw what people’s main critique of their Marvel films was, and thought: well fuck you, we can be stylish if we want to.
So instead of doing another Marvel film, they opted to make something that will remind you more of a Michael Bay or a bad Danny Boyle film.
Like, the directing is really annoying and excessive.
Also, I think there’s a bit of a disconnect between how dumb this character acts versus how overintelligent Holland and the Russos are trying to portray him through the (unnecessary) narration and dialogue.
A shame really, because I think the script checks a lot of boxes, and the cinematography is certainly better than any of their Marvel films.
The score isn’t half bad either.
The most positive thing I can say is this: I like that the film is at least trying something different.
It’s just a shame that the horrendous directing constantly takes you out of the story.
