Dueling Critics
“[A] ride that’s so much fun I would have happily sat in the theater and watched the whole thing again, mask and all. This is how superhero movies are supposed to be: thrilling and funny and moving and full of popcorn-fueled joy.”
“It’s not just the action and the magic that flop. Even the film’s more intimate moments fall flat…none of the humor feels organic or earned or even all that funny. It doesn’t build or make any emotional sense.”
