Saw it last night.
It was a lot of fun, with great special effects, great costumes, a lot of humor, and some epic battles. Pretty much all of the acting--when actually needed--was quite good.
So why am I not called it great/awesome/etc.? Really, it's battle scenes and humor were both better than GotG, 1and 2 (which is very much how this movie played, as GotG with fill-ins). And it made tremendous use of Immigrant Song.
Maybe because, more than any other of the better superhero movies, this movie has no soul. Which is weird, because it has a couple of very serious components, yet they just don't play as serious.
All that said, it was still a lot of fun and almost a must-see on the big screen for its visuals.
