A Great Cast, a Bad Plan, and Enough Plot Armor to Stop a Tank

The latest blockbuster survives on charisma alone. We break down why that almost wasn't enough.

We survived the runtime. The third act nearly finished the job.

Here's the problem: a great cast can carry a shaky first hour, but no amount of chemistry fixes a plan that falls apart the second anyone asks a follow-up question. We spent the drive home doing what we always do — running the whole thing like an after-action report.

Cap'n Jack loved the pacing. Thick Nick Fury has questions about literally every decision made after minute sixty. Neither of them is backing down.
