OK, it was better than the previous version but was it because they had incorporated many more ideas from the MCU? Because that's what it looked like to me, especially the flash scene. The baddy had also become much more Thanos like - both baddies in fact, but despite all of that, the characters shallower, the plot thinner and it just lacks the panache, the entertainment value and the humour that the mcu have displayed over the last decade. So, sure it was better than the previous version, but that still doesn't make it great.

I don't understand how this rates at 6.7 on IMDB when you page through the reviews most people are panning it - and I expected it to be worse than it was. Sound track was fun, the commentary was fun, Margot Robbie is a class act, but there's a continuous shot in Knight and Day with Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise where they run at full speed across an exploding beach in one continuous shot and during it they pass a table and she wrangles her bag and gets it over her head and onto the her shoulders while they are running. Cameron Diaz was fit. Margot Robbie isn't, she clearly lives a sedentary life style that doesn't translate well into an 'action' movie, although she is a better runner than the flat footed Kristin Stewart. Cathy Yan's direction is better than Elizabeth Banks's by a long way, but the weakness of the stunts especially towards the end is really, truly appalling when you compare it to just about any other action movie, ever. Compared to The Joker or Deadpool? Awful, really, truly awful.
