Audience Member I loved it funny and a good story line Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Another super hero movie. Not as bad as some, but basically the same as most. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Second worst Marvel movie to date. Forced and clichéd family drama. Terrible villain. Filled with unfunny jokes.
