The popular franchise has expanded to traverse the globe with 2 new agents (Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson). The plot is insignificant, especially since it has them trying to save the universe (yawn). There’s plenty of action, but most of it is unexciting. Almost every scene is populated with a variety of wacky aliens, which keeps the visuals fun. It’s slick and cool looking, but otherwise, relatively bland. Kumail Nanjiani voices the animated sidekick character and adds a few glimpses of humor, otherwise, there’s little comedy that works. The new duo does OK with their roles. It’s not a bad movie, just not living up to the comic or action standards of its predecessors.
