Do you think that they are wonderful directors, who ushered in a new level of cinematic genius with their work on the various Marvel films?
Or do you think that they are a pair of lucky guys who managed to be a part of a billion dollar franchise and that they will be exposed as hack auteurs when they start filming other non-marvel movies?
Or do you think it's somewhere in between?
For me, they come across as a very safe choice. Whilst there are many cool set pieces in the marvel films, nothing the Russo brothers do seem to stand out to me.
For example, the climatic battle sequence in Avengers Endgame seemed rather clunky and boring. With so many confusing moments, a literal deus ex machina in captain marvel, and silly fan service moments. Don't get me wrong, I did like that stuff, but I think it's also one of the reasons that I will never consider the Russo brothers great or even good directors.
