Twas aite. I feel as though they were trying to cram way too much into this one. Also a little too much time was spent on Pete's love life...which I suspect is the fault of director Marc Webb. Some of those scenes were good, but some were just cheesy and not needed. Nothing against Webb, I love 500 Days but I don't feel he is right for these movies. Glad he's not directing part 3.
My complaints aside, it is a fun film that does have some very cool moments. 7/10.
I think this is one of Marvel's best, right up there with Avengers. The CQC with Cap and Winter Soldier were downright amazing. Hell, pretty much all the action sequences were near flawless. Have to take this in again at the imax.
From La Femme Nikita and The Professional to The Fifth Element, writer/director Luc Besson has created some of the toughest, most memorable female action heroes in cinematic history. Now, Besson directs Scarlett Johansson in Lucy, an action-thriller that tracks a woman accidentally caught in a dark deal who turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.
Just watched this (it's "acquirable") and thought it was awesome. Started out weird but the plot unfolded brilliantly. Solid action direction too, the violence was lovely. A+
