"After the heavy heights of Infinity War, Marvel wisely dial up the screwball and physical comedy with this sequel that wasn't really needed but manages to be surprisingly enjoyable.
This film has more comedic hits instead of misses with some well thought, witty scenes that zip past in a pace that juggles the comedy vessel it mainly is with the a story that will have a weight to keep people interested.
It's a hard balancing act and the see-saw often gets grounded down one end too much. The antagonist, Ghost, has a superbly enigmatic entrance that makes you want to know who and what this is, but then the film blurts out its exposition in an astonishingly lazy and mundane way as an entire arc is squashed into a five minute monologue - even the film realises it and tries to distract with an off-the-wall ringtone interruption to try and make light of the cliched villain dialogue, but it's not fooling anyone.
Ultimately, this is a light-hearted entry into a franchise approaching its darkest hour, and it manages its task to entertain with aplomb"
