Watched it last night. It was better than I thought it would be, but that's faint praise. Marvel needs to shake things up more. They're getting more and more formulaic.
He won. Period.

Yeah, I have to agree. I knew nothing about this group (unlike a group like the X-Men) and just wasn't drawn into their story. We'll see if the inevitable sequel can draw me further in.

So, I finally watched this on Disney. Glad I waited. I just didn't really care about any of it. None of the characters were enough to grab me, nor strong enough to carry the movie through the exposition and the writing was really blah, no real sense of humor in it - it could have really characters with some charisma.

Probably the worst of the marvel films IMHO.

Watched it last night and thought it was decent. Trying to characterize a team of ten individuals (and a valet) takes some time to make each one memorable other than just different coloring and powers.
It's almost as if people are the problem.
