The film is certainly fun, and it includes several original moments that could only have been conceived by Waititi, but at the same time, it never feels particularly epic or grand in scale. Full review in Spanish.

While the film is a superhero film at its heart, it’s the comedic moments that give the film its soul. But this comedy is also delivered by really likable characters, which doesn’t hurt to get the job done.
