It’s got some pacing issues, especially early on and Marvel needs to seriously stop trying to CGI vehicles into scenes because they look stupidly fake every time. Otherwise it’s a by the books Marvel origin movie. Nobody hero becomes a hero by dealing with continually increasing stakes.

It’s incredibly predictable in a Hallmark Movie kind of way but has a fair number of funny lines and moments.

Lots of flash, and a lot of middling slow exposition. There is almost a neat concept here but it doesn’t really know how to present itself beyond flashy special effects. Also there was this constant reminder about the lady’s son like he was going to be important, maybe that’s for the sequel or something.

Basically circle jerky propaganda about the idea that a bunch of kids and yokels could easily fend off an invasion of trained Communist Soldiers.

It’s honestly way better than I expected it to be.
