It's watchable, just not very memorable. A group of teenagers walked out halfway through. You dont get invested and you dont really care.
The trailers did hype it up a bit. Thanks, I'll just watch it at home then.
What’s the funny bit? That there’s more than one opinion on the matter or that they take time to articulate their position that Marvel movies are generally good as they assume that the public won’t agree with them otherwise?Interestingly, the underlying assumption is that Marvel films are normally good. My newspaper actually spends a paragraph explaining the ways in which Marvel films usually really are quite good. It's kinda funny considering the anti-Marvel thread we have on here.
Of course, everybody has their own opinion. And that thread also did start really well with lots of interesting discussions. But recently it's been mostly laughing at anything Marvel, almost as if the merest idea of there being anything good in those films (or even simply liking them) merits ridicule. In other words, it's gone a bit overboard. So it's a funny contrast (to me) to see a serious film review in a respected newspaper go out of its way to praise the Marvel films, just to be able to contextualize why it's striking that this one is poor.
I liked Homecoming but I thought Far From Home was very flat; almost like a long episode in a series. What's the expectation for the next one? (The animated Spiderverse film was awesome btw. Well, more the art and humour than the story, but still. Did you see it? It's not set in the Marvel context though.)
Oh, the Spiderverse was incredible! The expectation for the next Spider-Man movie is huge as it’s supposed to be one of the most surreal and mind-blowing movies of the entire franchise — introducing the multiverse etc. At least it won’t be generic, that we can know almost for sure.
Didn't we have it in Endgame?
You’ve broken my morning brain
Go see dune.
Yea pretty much. The entire point of Loki was to establish the concept of variants etc. In the next movie they should dive right into it. We don't need another lecture.You’ve broken my morning brain
Kinda, I guess. But there it only worked is a plot device and they’ve hardly explored it, simply using time-travel to finish up loose ends & set up new stories (like Loki getting the Tesseract). The real introduction was Loki, of course, but that didn’t happen on the big screen.
They already got a couple wrong in the past, The Incredible Hulk and Thor: The Dark World were both pretty poor.
Ahh right, I didn’t know that was confirmed at the time and was one that we would need to find out in a later film/tv series. Interesting.
You might still get Loki giving you a lecture because 'Loki mann mauji hai!'
Pretty much agree. Personally I wouldn't put this among them. It's different in tone etc, but I enjoyed getting to know the back story and the changes through time. None of it seemed rushed and we got the pay off at the end with the post credit scenes.
Pretty much this. It's ok, even decent in spots. If they are setting something up it'll make way more sense in the long run and that's ok. I quite liked the pace change after being burned out on Marvel films.
Other marvel movies with diverse casts have scored a lot better. The rating is mostly low among the critics, not a bunch of angry fanboys.
Interesting take, its why i pay little attention to movie reviews as everyone sees a movie differently and there is no right or wrong. Eternals is the lowest rated movie in the MCU, i thought it was the worst marvel movie i have seen.
Totally disagree with that. They tried a new formula and the cast did a decent job for most part. If nothing else at least it attempted at a half decent plot as compared to the random movies that come out every month like ant man etc. Black panther was highly rated and that is unwatchable for me and there are a lot of superhero movies like that which just try to pack a bunch of jokes some fights maybe 2-3 fan service dialogues get Kendrick to fire an album and release that.
