I thought that at this exact moment as well, it was like what the hell am I seeing, how did this aftershave commercial get in a feature film ha ha!

Regards everything else, I also agree with much of what you say. As spectacles, they were decent enough, but they just felt like drab wannabe Marvel Avengers films. It was like they couldn't decide whether they wanted to be Chris Nolan's Batman or a carbon copy of the Avengers.

I will say of this version though, while the first two hours were a complete bore fest, the final two hours were not too bad for entertainment value. But in the end it all just felt a lot of something for nothing.
