Exactly what you would expect from an MCU movie in this day and age. Great effects, good acting, several tie ins to the overarching franchise, and plenty of doors left open for a continuation if the studio sees fit.
I thoroughly enjoyed the timeline setting of the movie. That was actually one of my favorite things.
It was also nice to see Fury's eye patch explained on film.

Weird, just weird
1st time that I've watched one of the Studio Ghibli films and I've got to be honest it wasnt my cup of tea. Bit like the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, with a different storyline arc. Very strange and a bit of a mind trip.
Like I say, not for me, but lots of people love it. 8/9 for some. Just a 6 for me

A Train Wreck
I think its important to mention that this is one of my favorite book series. If I hadn't had already read the books before seeing this movie maybe I would have thought it was a little better. Probably not but you never know. As someone who loves the book series I have to say this is absolutely one of the worst movie adaptations I have ever seen. The story line was off, the characters were completely different, and at some points it was so bad it was laughable. My biggest hope for this series is that eventually a studio will pick it up and actually do it justice.

My favorite Robin Williams Film, and that is saying something...
This is another Modern Classic about potential and brains, but also about where you come from and how you adapt. Here's an anecdote about finding the right studio: Matt Damon and Ben Affleck found a clever way to choose the right studio for their script: the story goes that on page sixty of the script, they wrote a completely out-of-nowhere sex scene between Will and Chuckie. They took it to every major studio, and nobody even mentioned the scene. When they met with Harvey Weinstein at Miramax, he said, "I only have one really big note on the script. About page sixty, the two leads, both straight men, have a sex scene. What the hell is that?" Damon and Affleck explained that they put that scene specifically in there, to show them who actually read the script, and who didn't. As Weinstein was the only person who brought it up, Miramax was the studio chosen to produce the film.
Also for those of you out there who think just because something is done in school it's not good: When Matt Damon was in his fifth year at Harvard, he was in a playwriting class. The culmination of it was to write a one-act play, and he just started writing a movie, which, with the help of Ben Affleck, became this movie.
"But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other." were they talking about Ben and Matt?
I guess Ben liked Them Apples, LOL, just kidding.... and here's another Alternate Movie Poster.
