Here is my unsolicited list of the MCU
The way I define a good Marvel movie is the same as every other movie.
I like a movie with a good story, compelling character, great writing and brilliant directing.
Lots of marvel movies fail on so many basic traits for making a good movie so they rely on quips that sacrifice development
James Gunn went hard and it paid off.
Every second of this movie you can tell James writes with love for these characters and for his friends behind the characters
A movie that has so much practical design. I do love practical sets!
Oh yes nostalgia got me good with this one.
Loved seeing Tobey into he MCU and Andrew is truly a delight. Honestly having them in the movies just shows that Tom's interpretation is mediocre compared to those who came before him.
So much happened in this movie. I'm surprised it was so strong.
As much as I don't enjoy Benedict Cumberbatch I did like this movie. Sam Raimi changing the MCU formula and turning it into a pseudo horror. So much fun!
Other strange and that battle was so weird. Didn't enjoy that. Will love to see more Krasinski as Mr. Fantastic. Oh and Patrick Stewart is always great as Xavier
Farewell Chadwick. This movie struggled without you trying to find and identity. Ryan created a beautiful goodbye for his friend and it was felt.
However as a MCU movie it just didn't hit the marks
The start was great. Loved the 80s vibe of the movie. Everything after that was to jokey and weird. The scene between Valkyrie and Jane with the speaker was super awkward and cringe.
Taika needed to pick a lane. Was the movie emotional or quippy. He chose both
Didn't hate this. Maybe a bit too ambitions and it very much lost touch of the essence of an Ant-Man movie. A super hero who can change height from small to super large felt like it had no baring on the film. Scott's connection to Cassie seemed super off. But that could just be because of the blip. Idk
I will miss Scarlett Johansson as black widow. She was such a great character!
Unpopular opinion, I'm not a fan of David Harbour so seeing him pop up is not too great to watch, especially since his character will be in Thunderbolts
This movie was just straight up cringe and I wasn't for it.
However it's definitely not the worst!
Marvel fans call this a DC movie. That's an insult to DC. This movie blew chunks. Non cohesive, all about setup for down the track and you couldn't emotionally relate to anyone.
This movie is not as good as people say it is. I got so bored through the movie that I felt like turning it off and napping. Honestly the only highlight of the film is being Ben Kingsley back as Trevor. Such a funny running joke! And Awkwafina is just as hard to watch in movie as James Corden.
