7/10
A very enjoyable ride, but a little anticlimactic

There is very little about this adventure that wasn't fun and enjoyable to watch. The chemistry between Cavill, Ritchson and the rest of the team is great on screen and makes for some great action sequences. The relaxed arrogance of the team is also pretty funny as they mow down dozens of Nazi's.

The plot of the movie also provides some suspense and thrill, even if it is a bit predictable.

The reason this film didnt earn a higher score is because I dont think the full potential was truly tapped. There isn't really a moment where the team feels tested or even in any real danger of failure. No one from the team is killed or even seriously injured besides a shot to the shoulder. There is no boss battle or satisfying climax. The main villain is easily dispatched by Marjorie. They accomplish their mission without much of a hitch and just kind of get away and are then congratulated and employed by Churchill.

I just think they could have wrapped it up in a little more satisfying way. Or with a little more cost. Unfortunately the box office doesn't seem to be doing too well so building on this and getting a sequel may not be happening.

It truly was a fun ride but left feeling a little disappointed in the finale. I think the cast could be something special with a little better writing that is willing to take a few risks.
