    I don’t usually say this about sequels, but I liked it more than the first movie. It was more fast paced, fun, and the soundtrack was awesome! There wasn’t anything generally depressing (the way they handled a certain death was quick and didn’t take up the majority of the movie and it was something you saw coming throughout the movie). This felt like the resolution and healing to what happened in the first movie. But to the people who haven’t seen it yet, it is really good!

    I am so glad I didn't pay to see this movie in the cinema's, America Chavez is one of my favourites and this movie really did her dirty. This character is supposed to be bolder and brassier than Kate Bishop. I was unhappy with the way Wanda's continuity was miss-handled by Marvel but really angry at the way America Chavez's character was re-written. Skip the movie and read Young Avengers Vol 2#

In the movie, new stunts are shown and old ones are recreated, with small twists added to make it more fun. Even after so many years, these stunts are still fun and quite painful.

    I wanted to like it but seriously.. Billy was nothing but annoying. Don't get me wrong he had some great points/observations but the rants and talking down to people was a bit much. We are watching your movie because we wanted to not to be talked down to.
