Like: Finally this film came out on preview screening at the cinema before the official release date, but was it any good? Technically no, I'm not a marvel hater by any means there are a few marvel style film that i like but this film had so many problems. 

The Only thing i can say was good is the visual effect of the film which has been done rights but its a film that fails to execute its own narrative on the story. 

Dislikes: The film has great premise to be a good film but i cant help but think alot was cut from this film or reshot because for the first two acts of the film, nothing was happening, all were seeing is a bunch of character just running around doing absolute nothing interesting, its was getting to the point that the film was putting me to sleep with nothing happens until the third of the film. 

This left the entire film absolutely boring as hell, i was expecting alot more from this film with slight nightmare scene at the start, its issue come from the film trying to be too things a comic book film as well as a Horror film which sadly Failed to execute both side and fail to commit to them both with a 13 Rating its no wonder with what they were trying to go with was a failure.

The film i feel could flopped because i feel reshoot have killed the core of the film, which sadly destroyed the film, the acting was seriously bad, the character design is typical paint by numbers just an
all round bad film. 

Overall: Boring, good visual effects , bad acting

Rating: 3.2 out of 5 for Entertainment / 4.8 out of 10 for story
