Undaunted by reviewers and critics, alike, who were giving the movie a 6 out of 10 when the day began, I (with adjusted expectations) ventured out to see this movie which I had highly anticipated. I thought it was really good. I wonder, if I had not adjusted my expectations and gone to see it, still seduced by the advertising hype which led me to believe this would be Marvel's challenge to WONDER WOMAN (which I have now seen 3 time and gave an enthusiastic 9 out of 10), would I have felt let down (as it seems others felt after the opening night). Perhaps. But, having been cautioned by early opinions, I found the story to be clear cut, the performances to be solid (Brie Larson was spectacular), the Marvel humour to be fully present and appropriate to the tone of the characters and the special effects great. In my ad hoc exit poll (OK, more like casual chats with others as we exited the theatre) I found others also enjoyed it. So, I am giving this film an 8.5 (really good) out of 10. So, I say - Go see it - let it stand on its own merits - and I think you'll like it, too. [Superhero Adventure]
