Oh boy.

Everything everywhere all at once.

And I did like it to a point but absolutely don't see it as the phenomenon that was presented as. I saw it as a good film that lacked nuance and subtlety, instead of leaving stuff for the viewer to discern it rather just loudly announcing with bright signs 'This is profound, we are very artistic'. While the quirkiness and comedy were fun, it always felt to me like if marvel had suddenly decided to make an indie film, with all the good and bad that carried.

Obviously I was shunned by everybody else so what the hell do I know lol.

Same! For me, it was an ok action/fighting movie. There is a message there, but the message itself is not as deep as people want it to be, and nothing new. It was just OK.

Thank youuuuuu. Totally agree. It was a fun contemporary king fu movie with some great visual effects. Everyone I spoke to about it thought it was a groundbreaking masterpiece.

I think that Hollywood wanted that film to be really popular because they were tired of Marvel movies being all over the box offices.

I agree that it was...like okay, but I think most of the Marvel movies were like okay.
