It’s better than it’s reputation. It’s short, light, popcorn fun. It’s not deep or particularly emotionally engaging, but the three leads had chemistry, and Kamala was a joy to watch. A couple of the fight scenes were pretty darn creative.
An average quality flick.

It was fun didn’t deserve the hate it got. Kamala acted as we all would coming face to face with superheroes

It was great fun, not one of my all time favourites, mainly due to a weak villain, but the lead trio was terrific and the action delightfully imaginative.
