A lot of the critical hits the film took over here were based on the fact that they took him out of that end period "just to set up the Avengers". As a comic fan, I wanted to point out to them that he was only in WWII for a few years of comics publishing, whereas he was a man "out of time" for nearly 5 decades now. I was happy to get what WWII stuff we did (and I think there's still room to do "Highlander" style flashbacks to events in WWII in any sequels.)









It's okay... Impressive in places, and likely the best we could have hoped for in an adaptation. However, it makes some bizarre choices and can be hard to connect to or really get invested in.

I wonder if Alan Moore might not prefer the pony version...
