About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, faster superhero sequel with team-ups, mutant conflict, and more intensity than Captain America: The First Avenger; Not for you if you dislike ensemble stories or heavier themes.
Pros: exciting opening sequence; stronger team dynamic; bigger stakes and tension | Cons: some thin writing; uneven character focus; a few messy moments
