I could literally load up my choice of hundreds if not thousands of hours of shows or movies I haven't seen before in under a minute from Peacock / Max / Paramount /D+ / Amazon / etc., to say nothing of Youtube's near endless archive of videos I may or may not have any interest in, plus rewatching hundreds of hours of stuff I enjoyed previously but haven't seen in years.
The opportunity cost isn't the $15, its the time in comparison with everything else I can access easier - and for some of us, evaluating whether (given the avalanche of content) this specific IP (MCU) is worth continuing to care about. That said, is it worth watching four hours of reviews before you make that decision? Hell no.
*At least, that's the thinking of the general audience. I personally watched a Saturday matinee and thought it was fine but not particularly noteworthy. I'm more interested in seeing if Pugh gets pushed as the new 'Face of the MCU' with Bree Larson's implosion - I'd rather see Bree, but I don't want to hear her.

Skipping over a couple pages of stupid, so apologies if it was posted. Variety reports the Russos directed the post-credits scene on the set of Avengers: Doomsday just weeks before the movie released.
My wife who isn't a huge MCU fan complained she was somewhat spoiled by the credits, as a certain theme song is listed, lol.
The mural on LA has been updated. Is it really a spoiler if it's on the side of a building? heh.

standard MCU flair. its a solid 4 out of 10. better than most of the shit post end game. I'd say bottom 1/3 of MCU but I forgot how many dog turds the MCU has released. So middle of the pack but not because it's good, because most of the MCU is so shit.
shit written "villain" ie JLDs character, no idea her project worked, no clue or background on the successful applicant "bob" but full steam ahead attempting to control him and planning a press release to announce him? She's basically playing Selena Meyer from VEEP (which is a tongue in cheek jab of HRC), failing upwards due to sheer incompetence.
completely wasted/undeveloped bad guy "Sentry." He's a shithead druggie loser who gets turned into a god, I guess? But the power of guilt makes him emo superman? fuck I don't know. Is Void supposed to be another entity that is possessing him, is it his depression and guilt? who the fuck knows. The copy I stole off the internet doesn't have the 2nd post credit scene no idea if they bothered to explain him or not.
It was all so rushed so hard to really verify but he's basically Homelander, accept she is just winging it, there was no time to actually build a successful deterrence or analyze him for his motivations to know how to keep him in check, she just expects him to do what she says and he's like "Nah fuck that" so she tries to kill him which turns him into emo man.
You might think "well at least it wasn't woke" and you'd be wrong. They just returned to the more subtle wokeism's of yesteryear rather than having all the main characters make speeches and waving tranny flags like Capt Shrimp Boat America.
Pudgy black widow, girl who can phase shift in and out of existence, and 3 super soldiers (2 of whom are WWII vets). Of course the most powerful hero is florence pugh the female without any superpowers at all. 90% of the combat in this film is her kicking dudes asses, in straight up melee combat. At least with ScarJo's black Widow they atleast attempted to highlight her agility and martial arts prowess, using leverage and judo and shit to throw or disable larger/stronger/male opponents. Pugh just punches dudes in the face all movie like it's nothing. Also gets punched by super god like beings that are tossing super soldiers around like rag dolls and she just gets right back up barely a bloody lip. Bucky gets knocked the fuck out and his arm ripped off. Better Captain America gets his shield bent in half. Normal human girl with no super powers? barely a scratch after getting domed and knocked 30 feet through the air.
t's all so tiresome. totally forgettable film.
edit: Also bit of a spoiler, remember Task Master from the black widow movie? No? Ok well if you've seen the trailer for this movie you saw every single second of screen time she has in it. She's on screen for about 30 seconds and gets shot in the head by Ghost, the only competent hero (save mary sue pugh) in the movie.
