The film also holds a Rotten Tomatoes score of 62% and an IMDb rating of 6/10, positioning it as somewhat above average but not considered a highly recommended watch.
According toThe Hollywood Reporter, the movie received a 78-80% drop-off in its second weekend at the box office, making it the worst drop of any Hollywood superhero movie ever. The film also finally ended its run this week, as it is now officially the lowest-grossing Marvel film in history.
