In his latest movie, director Kevin MacDonald (The Last King Of Scotland) takes us to the English countryside where rebellious American teenager Elizabeth (Saoirse Ronan) is forced to stay with her cousins who she has never met. At first Elizabeth, who insists on being called Daisy, is reluctant to hang out with her cousins ?, Piper and the older Eddie. Things change however when the threat of WWIII suddenly becomes reality with a nuclear bomb going off in London. I guess a war will make you forget your insecurities and bitchy demeanor.

More often than not, I find myself only liking the first half of a superhero flick, the part where we get to see the story of how your average Joe became a superhero. After that though, my interest starts waning as the CGI-bloated madness unfolds. So how come I liked Marvel’s latest entry all the way to the end?
