, it’s sad to say, is not good. It is not good in many, many ways. The weirdly blank performances, the thunderingly dull fights, the nothingy plot: it is not good.

It happens all the time. Halfway through a conversation, in the middle of a firefight, whenever someone has anything even mildly revelatory to say: the mask partially retracts so you can see their face, and then whoever’s underneath says their important thing.

Like someone cracking a tension-puncturing gag or an admiring look at a brand new super-suit a hero’s just put on. The helmet thing, though, is so irritating once you notice it that it sets you thinking about when exactly you started to drift away from Marvel.It’s hard, because you love Paul Rudd. Everyone loves Paul Rudd.
