Had a great time with the Marvels. Probably shortest MCU movie (1:45 including credits) but didn’t feel short and felt like a Comic Book movie.
Went in hoping for the best, but not expecting much. Hadn’t paid much attention to trailers either (never do if I can help it)
Good call. Enjoyed it in IMAX 3D. Wouldn’t have dug it as much without those visuals, but it was fun enough.
Ah I was debating about doing 3D but I wear glasses to the movies and it can be annoying in the wrong 3D glasses
The bad reviews just feel like the critics are over Marvel and they can’t win. Sure, I’ve seen everything before this, but I don’t think that was at all a requirement to understand who these people were. It’s like picking up any Marvel comic, just like the humor that everyone hates now: All Marvel comics were jokey like that.
Big ones left this month:
Next Goal Wins (had an interest in the real story as well as an English team that did even worse)
Napoleon (seems vital to see on big screen)
The Killer (want, but don’t NEED to see in theaters unless I hear otherwise.)
Dream Scenario I’m curious about, but I don’t necessarily have patience for meta Nic Cage or campy Nic Cage stuff.
I’m also going to go out on a limb and endorse Wonka. Finally caught a trailer and I think the Paddington/Paddington 2 sensibilities of the director will outweigh the Chalomet-ness. There’s still hope for TC to not go full Jared Leto and Dune showed he understands restraint, so I’m optimistic despite the movie being a punchline atm. Who thought Paddington had any right to be as good as it was?
