I don’t think it will win any Academy Awards, although a Bollywood actor named Harish Patel who plays a valet to the Kumail Nanjiani character should be nominated for best supporting actor. As is the custom in recent superhero movies, all the characters have psychological issues and wax philosophical more than they need to.
The film also has a good mixture of nationalities, races, and genders. It features a deaf main character (and I understand that already there are many requests to learn ASL since the movie was released) and the first gay kiss in a Marvel film.
It is way too long with interminable battles, but at least some humor creeps in now and then. I’d give it a lukewarm recommendation. (Keep in mind I also get the senior discount.)
