My GOAT.
Okay, I'll try to keep the Tom Cruise glazing to a minimum, it's not like the guy needs it...but...that crazy sonofabitch.

This film is long, it kind of meanders in places, some of the writing is a bit hokey, but I was still thrilled and dazzled and that's why we come to the movies, and this franchise specifically.

About 2/3rds into the movie I was like, "I love teams, teams are so good." No one really thinks of…

It feels simultaneously overly ambitious, and frustratingly limited in its scope. I think the scope alone will generate some excitement and defense from MCU fans, but in the long run it'll…
