I think if this is viewed as part of a series rather than any sort of standalone feature, it's quite satisfying with lots of fun character interactions and bonkers action. On its own it's so excessive it probably verges on incomprehensible psychedelia, so if you're not that invested in the series then it'd not be that enjoyable.
Ultimately these things are always about dudes punching each other, so as a climax this is logically going to be the punchiest of the punchy movies. I don't really buy the whole "oversaturation" superhero thing as the ten years of Marvel movies combined don't even amount to two seasons of a TV series. This would be a two-episode special, and at that it's everything it needed to be.
It's kind of hard to overstate how ambitious this thing is. The sheer number of characters, the number of story strands, the humour, the visual craziness, hard to really ask for more. It's a miracle that something as fundamentally silly as this hits as many notes as expertly as it does. Despite the smarmy asides that are always there in these films, they never feel cynical, which is pretty miraculous, I think.
Enjoyed it, but it's exhausting. If you've checked out of the Marvel films by now, I suppose this would be a chore, but I still like them. Two episodes a year of a series is not too much to endure for something as frivolously entertaining as these films.
