When a peacekeeping experiment goes awry, the Avengers must stop a rogue A.I. from bringing about global extinction.
Review
Visually impressive and packed with strong character moments, though ultimately weighed down by too many moving parts. The ideas are there, but the film spreads itself thin trying to serve too many masters. When it hits, it hits—but when it doesn’t, it’s undeniably messy, overstuffed, and lacking in identity.
This movie is part of our complete MCU retrospective.
