About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a more serious, character-driven superhero origin with themes of prejudice and team dynamics; Not for you if you need nonstop action or modern polish like Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Pros: strong central conflict; memorable ensemble; creative powers on display | Cons: dated effects at times; cheesy dialogue moments; uneven action pacing
