He's clearly a talented director, no doubt about that. I enjoy his previously films - Boy, What We Do in the Shadows, Jojo Rabbit, even Ragnarok - they're brilliant. But in this case, he took what should be a Superhero action MCU movie and worked in bits and bobs of nothing more than trivial, silly humour.
A joke, a quip, tongue-in-cheek teasing, a light-hearted break after hectic tension, yes, but this was just over-extended, irritating elements of crappy comedy that do nothing to add to the storyline at all.
It's as though he had a list of funny gags and was determined to fit them anywhere he could, no matter what.

After watching the trailer I was hoping for a Dog Soldiers or Severance style film, but it was nothing of the sort. The only dog was the movie and the only severance was me turning it off after an hour because I couldn't face 45 minutes more. The storyline was vague and the main characters were just too weak to get up to speed at all.
