Saw this last night and listened to a Weekly Planet review of it this morning, so thought I'd see if anyone else has seen it.
Overall, I thought it was fine. I solid 6/10. I don't think it advances the MCU in any notable way at all. It's still Disney playing it safe with the same formula they've been using for 15 years. It did try to borrow quite obviously from Winter Soldier with the fight scenes and general plot, but is nowhere near as good as that film. I heard about the number of reshoots and it was quite obvious that they'd reshot a notable amount of this to try to make it less politically relevant. I did also notice towards the end when something made me laugh how little I had actually found funny in the film. One of the MCU hallmarks is how these films retain their humour even in serious moments, but I think this one struggled for humour. That said, Anthony Makie is decent enough in that role. I thought Harrison Ford was good as well. Some of the other characters were good inclusions. The action sequences were alright and the general plot was fine, if quite predictable. Not one I'll be rushing to rewatch, but I didn't feel like I'd wasted my time seeing it at the cinema.
If anyone else has seen it I'm happy to get into some spoiler discussions.
