Band of Brothers, Thief
Ang Lees' Hulk was amazeballs.It's like giving Ang Lee the Incredible Hulk. Both fantastic directors but this genre isn't their forte.

It's funny that MCU gets shot for being formulaic and when they try something new it gets slammed for not being marvel enough.My biggest criticism of the movie is its tone. MARVEL have, for the most part and much to the annoyance of certain cinema goers, known when to execute dramatic, serious scenes with the added quip/ humorous moments. Not this film. It felt jarring at the most of times.
Black panther is unwatchable for you? Probably has the most interesting "villain" in all the MCU.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.
I watched this the other day and I thought that it was one of very few recent Marvel films you could go into without seeing all of the preceding films. They even explained what Thanos did in case you totally missed all that stuff.Just watched this today. Enjoyable but highly confusing as always, since its such a mission to keep up with what is going on in this multiverse and with movies coming out after you have mostly forgotten what happened in the others.
Anyway, enjoyed it regardless, but again...cliffhangers are the order of the day when it comes to Marvel movies. Frustrating, but I keep coming back for them.
Completely agree with this. I enjoyed most of these characters but they never gave enough screentime to them because they had a lot to fit in. Ikarus, Sersi, Thena, Gilgamesh, Phastos and Druig were all great. Need to focus on these more.They could have really improved the whole thing by dropping two or three characters and focusing on those that remained
And seeing everyone you care for die in a loop like that...I'd love it if this is a mini series on their struggle across time with their sanity and boredom and loneliness.
Sucks that they have to resort back to being a marvel superhero movies at the end.
Kept thinking how'd they keel sane for 5000 years of loneliness. I'd probably goes crazy if iive that long.
Yeah, I think the first movie should have only covered their origins, motivations behind their creation and history till current day. I loved that part, it had a lot of 'Westworld' like vibe where creatures who are meant to be dummies in the grand scheme begin to get attached to their environment, which was great. But they did it very quickly and moved to the whole emergence story which wasn't really that necessary, apart from forcing some sort of a climatic moment. Or at least could have done in a sequel because the uni-mind itself was a very interesting concept.I'd love it if this is a mini series on their struggle across time with their sanity and boredom and loneliness.

Kind of how I felt about it, minus the mediocre part. It was far from perfect but it had some interesting story beats.It's mediocre like the vast majority of the Marvel films. Still significantly better than the new Spiderman movie as it doesn't just rely on people's nostalgia.
I'd second that. I'm surprised that they started their next phase so quickly after Endgame. There's not really many places to narratively go after you've had a super group fight against the most powerful entity in the universe to bring back half of life without going even further down the route of insanity.End Game really was end game in alot of ways, for me atleast.
Yeah.I'm still thinking about that big fecker of a celestial body that just appeared and is now a landmark and why none of the Avengers investigated it
Unless they will in the next movies?
Or Dr strange and Wanda magic it away...
Guardians of the Galaxy pulled it off, but it had a script where pretty much every line added something to the character or the setting. GOTG also had to establish multiple alien locations and alien species as well.Terrible, bloated, generic characters, poor dialogue, outrageous levels of pointless exposition, underbaked stories for characters.
It was an absolute mess. We had close to zero explanation or lead in with regards to the powers of all the leads. How strong. What are their weaknesses?
They needed a three film arc to get to this films end game. I honestly did not care about any of them. Why should I care that Salma Hyeck died? Why would I invest in the betrayal she seemed to have experienced? I only got told about it 5 minutes ago.
Plus points : It really was achingly gorgeous. The raising from the planet, and the image of a hand and head was surprisingly affecting.
None of the Guardians had powers or origin stories to justify them. They were just a rag tag band of misfits. Way easier.Guardians of the Galaxy pulled it off, but it had a script where pretty much every line added something to the character or the setting.

They do need to make sure they have actual good scripts before they move forward. I thought this film was fine, but Marvel is supposed to be excellent. I think they missed a trick by lowering the tension and stakes so much after Endgame. It was like a reset to Phase 1. I think they could go all out in all their movies, spend Endgame levels of money, and they would make the difference back and more.
Perhaps it would slow production down too much. Or its just impossible to keep things on that higher level going forward, giving them nowhere to go from there.
It's in the bottom 5 in my opinion.I watched it a few weeks ago. Thought it started very poorly and was wondering whether I'd even bother with the entire thing, but it turned it around and became decent. As others have said it's nowhere near the best Marvel movies, but it's certainly not one of the worst either.
Yep, agreed.Terrible, bloated, generic characters, poor dialogue, outrageous levels of pointless exposition, underbaked stories for characters.
