About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a lighter, goofy superhero adventure with heart, especially near Spider-Man: Homecoming; Not for you if childish humor or uneven seriousness bothers you.

Pros: playful superhero humor; warm family themes; fun power discovery | Cons: uneven tone; childish jokes; generic villain
