Twitter Capsule: Fitful panache within the by-the-numbers parameters of Marvel movies. Designed as funky outlier, so why isn't it more fun?

VOR:   Sporadically lives up to hype as a frisky Marvel experiment. Maybe more polished than Guardians of the Galaxy but less entertaining or eccentric. Sheer corporate product.
