I got this movie from AMC A-list for free, but I’ll never get my time back.

Looking past the fan service, and the cool moments, it’s a jumbled up mess of timelines, CGI, and lukewarm garbage. I had fun with it, but in the same way I do with the transformers movies. Trash popcorn cinema, that struggles to hold itself together at times.
As someone credited in this film, it’s hard to find a cause to hate it, but I see a ton of the story flaws as many of the crew did. A ton of the interesting interactions of the story are cut very short in pursuit of sub 2 hours, but in reality the movie was never pressing any of the major boundaries that I thought it could’ve. Social anxiety and desire to please others is something that I relate so…
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
While WW still stands as an icon for female empowerment, some of the pivot points of this movie feel a little more cynical and less up-lifting. I guess everyone is susceptible to doubt after a loss, but I would hazard that the same impact could’ve been garnered with less time spent on frolicking through the 80s with Steve(something that took some adjustment to understanding that it was swapped consciousness and not actually Pine’s resurrected character). Otherwise, a rather average sequel…
