The fighting scenes lack energy


They look as if everyone was out of breath. There is no explosiveness in the movements, no fierceness, devoid of any killing intent. Feels overly choreographed and poorly performed.

Braveheart this is not.

I felt this too. For an audience that's been on an MCU diet for over ten years, the prodding fight sequences felt jarring in an otherwise sleek production. And don't @ me saying it was supposed to look realistic. You can have realistic without being clumsy. Look at the Mission Impossible movies, or even the first Bourne movie from 20 years ago.
