    Note: this article has spoilers, but isn’t full of spoilers. If you’re on the fence and don’t mind spoilers, you might find this review helpful. Although, having seen the film, I don’t think it’s the most accurate review.

    Though its story dabbles in reflections about grief, it’s mostly a straightforward action flick.

    So I won’t disagree that it’s an action flick and it is action heavy, I don’t think “dabbles” is the right word. Grief and mental health are a core part of the film. The bad guy is defeated by a group hug and the power of friendship.

    Is it the best execution? Maybe not, but it’s done well and it’s a new idea to explore within the MCU.
