To me, this movie was something that should have blown up in 2020, but I think was just surrounded by people releasing what they had since they couldn't film. It is full of everything you want. What I think hurts it the most is some of the dialogue, specifically from the Wish version of Dudley,

This pattern repeats itself up to the final episode where she makes the dumbest bargan of her life. Because she is selfish. She isn't a hero, she is the sociopathic "victim" that we all hate about Karens. Oh yeah, did I mention that she is a murderer? Cold-blooded.

I think the acting is very 90s. I know it came out then, but it doesn't hold up. Ving, Tom, and Jon are really good. The rest... not so much. Honestly, I think Jean is just overly predictable in his role, but we might want to blame the writers on that.

I have really enjoyed the MCU and this is where it started. Before I left for the Marines, I used to fall asleep to the special edition version of Iron Man and for me, it is still a feel good movie. This is a worthwhile series at this point where you will enjoy it and not feel lost.

So lets start off by saying that this movie isn't deep. It's not going to win awards. It isn't John Wick. Honestly, it falls more into the Evil Dead and Army of Darkness type movie. Which means that there are some good scenes, but not a lot going on with it which is okay.

We also get the first and maybe the best "Hulk... Smash." Speaking of the Hulk, the scene of him running towards Natasha has been in my brain since it showed up in the trailers. Also, him beating up Thor and Loki is solid as well.

What this movie does do really well is present the scale of the fights. From the Ice Giants, the Destroyer, or the fights with Loki and Thor, you get a really good feeling of the epicness of them. There is also some nice levity, while out of place it is still funny...

The story itself was pretty good. I like the idea of the monkey paw for the Fountain as honestly most of those old special treasures were lost for a reason, supposedly. There is some obvious plot twist that happen and the girl that is chasing them is basically a repeat of The Mummy

I would place a huge bet that was all ad-lib. One of the ones that I still remember weeks later is "I need to tell you this. In a past life, you were a donkey and I was your owner. You were a stubborn ass donkey. I guess nothing changes." It caught me so off-guard that I really laughed.

Actually, I am not sure who they made this movie for now that I write that last sentence. It is rated PG-13 which I think is too high for the audience that would be interested in, and I doubt they were aiming to make this for moms and dads trying to connect with their kids going to college.
Video Game
As for the story, what a compelling way to tell the cycle of revenge while trying to grow. There are so many heartbreaking portions that you have spent the last 20+ hours attempting to stop and honestly, that I think is the point of the story.

The action in this is still so cool. Whiplash walking onto the track and whipping these cars in half and just the destruction. I also love the final battle with the drones. It is really well done.
