I thought it was just ok-ish the first time. Second time I didn't really want to see it but a family member wanted to go and I promised so alright. The first 20-30 minutes aren't great, but I liked it a bit more on second viewing.
It's not a bad film, but I wouldn't say it's a great film either. It's better than Age of Ultron.
I might get some flak for saying this but the inclusion of Spider-Man felt forced and unnecessary. The big fight kinda turns into a joke-fest. I think Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) alone could've filled the comedy quotient well enough, in fact I think the movie needed more Ant-Man and could've cut out Spider-Man entirely. But hey gotta make those Marvel bucks I guess. The film has a lot of bloat too ... 15 minutes or so probably could've been chopped.
I don't really like the Winter Soldier character either, I think I'd like to see the Red Skull back.
It's enjoyable. I mean you kinda have to remind yourself that these were comic book characters made 50-60 years ago intended for kids, and in that context movie's like this take the themes to about as far as you can go I think.
