Review Detail

Top-notch extended edition editing from Bobson again here, lots of fleshed-out work in the editing and VFX front. A strange movie that feels like simultaneously the most like a Real Comic Book of any of the Marvel movies but also has to act as a commercial/connective tissue to more and bigger events. It's simultaneously cozy and frenetic which is probably part of the reason why Whedon bailed on the franchise after this (I think we know where his preferences lie). Bobson manages to make the cozy/character-based sections breathe a little bit better, which is especially welcome as they aren't just dumping grounds for tired jokes (looking at you, Guardians 2, et al).

Easily the best possible version of this mish-mash movie and one that is worth living on your MCU shelf.
