The MCU takes its 26th outing to deal with characters less known to the general public, a bunch of superpowered immortals tasked with protecting Earth from their scheming counterparts. A two-and-a-half hour bombardment of the usual flying, zapping and fighting ensues, with oodles of utter hokum vaguely linked to mankind's mythology. It's both dependent on a good cast for the viewer's goodwill and also wastes them, so all there really is to keep you going is some pretty cinematography and a few nuggets of novelty such as the first superhero fight to take place at Camden Lock. And this, highly incongruously, from the director of the arthouse hit Nomadland, surely only here for a fat paycheque. Meh.
4/10
