• 93% approval rating with an average rating of 7.8/10, based on 43 reviews.
• ‘’reducing CGI spectacle to a relative minimum in favour of reviving the pleasures of hard-
driving old-school action, surprising character development and intriguing suspense’’
• "chockfull of the breathless cliff-hangers dictated by the genre, but equally rich in the quiet,
tender character moments that made the first film unique among recent Marvel fare.“
• This film will appeal to a UK audience because in Britain there is a lack of science fiction films
meaning we will have more enjoyment of American Films due to the amount of Sci-Fi fans.
