Hot no-spoiler take: it was a fine action flick. It hit too many predictable beats to make me really happy. It certainly didn't waste my money, but I don't feel like this will be one of those movies I come back to, down the line, to relive the moment.

I can understand that perspective.

I really, really enjoyed it. I won't call it the pinnacle of the medium or anything. Mostly, I agree that it was just a fine action flick, taken solely on its own. With the context of the MCU as a whole, and as the culmination of a decade and twenty something other movies, it was damn near pitch perfect for me. I wish we got some more fleshed out character arcs, but the ones we saw finish in this film were great, I think.
