Superb
This heist film ticked a lot of my boxes. Coming somewhere between the slickness of Ocean's Eleven and the bumbling idiocy of the wonderful Welcome to Collinwood, it gets the balance between genius planning and blind luck just right. As with any heist film, things go wrong, things get fixed and a scapegoat is found.
Brilliant cast, with the exception of Hillary Swank who basically chews the scenery.

What an end to the phase
Im a massive Marvel fan and have to say I love this version of Spider-man, this film was a great end to the infinity saga and was really a coming of age for Spider-man. I saw a lot of the plot twists coming but one in big one caught me by surprise! Triangle sandwiches anyone?

Some funny scenes
A quite stylish Action thriller that tries a bit too hard to be an over the top comic book violent film. Plenty of ideas taken from other films to create a world for assassin's. Not a lot of depth to the story before the next set piece scene. Definitely not one trying to be taken seriously and entertaining for a watch at least once.

I was super excited about this movie before watching it in theaters. Even though I saw the trailers, I made sure not to read up on it or watch them too much because I didn't want for anything to spoil it for me. Honestly after watching it, I still have mixed feelings. In a lot of ways I liked the film but almost equally I didn't. There was a lot that I was kind of disappointed in but also a lot that happened different than what I thought was going to happen, especially when it came to the plot. This movie was very realistic for a science fiction space movie when I thought it was going to be more fantastical. I think that was the main reason for me not liking it as much as I thought I would, also the pacing threw me off because this movie was really long. I kept waiting for it to get good and it never really did. There were a couple of good scenes overall but I agree with some critics or reviewers who said that it either needed to be shorter or a lot longer and made into a mini-series. I thought Brad Pitt did an excellent job in his role as Major Roy McBride but I understand people who criticized his performance because his character is very unemotional. I also really liked Ruth Negga's performance and think she did a fantastic job. I was let down that Tommy Lee Jones didn't have as much screen time as I thought he was going to, double for Donald Sutherland as well. Not a lot more I can say without spoiling parts of the movie. I wound up giving this movie a 6/10. I would have given it a point lower but there's a lot that makes this film above normal.
