– The new movie combines two major Marvel brands, Avengers and X-Men, overcoming decades of copyright issues, with Wolverine playing a key role. –
– Wolverine’s return, despite his death in 2017’s Logan, highlights the film’s dependence on multiverse concepts. –
– New villains Mr. Paradox and Cassandra Nova, played by Matthew Macfadyen and Emma Corrin, respectively, add to the film’s complex narrative. –
– The film’s reliance on Marvel lore and references is seen as a cash grab rather than a genuine effort to be innovative or thrilling. –
– Director Shawn Levy and co-writer Ryan Reynolds’ script fails to deliver effective action or dialogue, detracting from the film’s impact. –
