Not as good as the Captain America films, but still a fun buddy-spy show. The twist with certain female character who comes back after the last two Captains was obvious from the first time she appeared on the screen though.
Also, I wonder how much of a coincidence it was that the actor playing the clumsy Faux-ptain America failure John Walker looks exactly like that previous attempt at this hero from this atrocious 1990 movie, who was also presented as a clumsy failure?
I'm really happy I haven't seen it in cinema, because not having the option of pausing to see all the jokes on screen or rewinding 10 seconds to double-check some joke, would be very frustrating.
This was surprisingly fun to watch, even though obviously a committee-driven nostalgia-fest with some questionable choice of the main antagonist.
You won't see that on Disney+.
Seriously, the streaming service of those guys who have half the franchises in the world, including Star Wars (with that one blink-and-you-miss it kiss that's easily cuttable for the Chinese and other markets) and Marvel (where you had to wait 20 movies for a easily-dubbable mention of a date between two men, and another four for an actual on-screen gay couple in Eternals) and all the animated features (where you had to look really…
I remember three years ago, before the pandemic, when me and my Wife left the cinema from the previous "Downton Abbey" movie, I said that while the show is over, I wouldn't mind this new format of a movie once every 2-3 years that would continue the story of Downton Abbeey lords and staff. And lo and behold, here it is!
While the previous was better and told a more serious story, while this one is overall pretty silly (the…
It seems that even I am getting tired of MCU... still, some 10 movies after pretty much everyone I know, but this movie - despite being "just" 2 hours long - was tiring.
I had fun, admittedly. I jumped in my seat once or twice, laughed both at the jokes and at the meta content (this is Sam at his Raimi-est, taking a lot from both his Spiderman- and early horror-comedy years), I shed a tear or two, so I…
Only after watching I learned that this movie was made by the duo that made "Swiss Army Knife", which I loved.
I heard so much good about this movie that I moved heaven and earth to see it in cinema, and I made a point of watching it before going to "Dr Strange and the Multiverse of Madness". Obviously this is a better movie, and it's great even not compared to that other one.
Although I have to admit the…
What a bore... Jim Carrey was cute, but otherwise it was such a calculated boring movie that NEVER. SHUTS. UP.
The first part - between half and two-thirds - of this veery long movie were really good. It was a nice change to watch a Batman film that for the first time on a big screen focused on the detective, not the costumed superhero side of this character. The ending(s) - plural - were dragging for too long though, adding one escalation after another, each less believable than the last.
Still, pretty good. It's like Burton's "Batman Returns" done Nolan-style.
Fucking depressing and too close for comfort until the very last part, where all hope is lost.
Sat down to watch this coming fresh from "Spider-Man No Way Home", in which Andrew Garfield gave such a nice performance that I decided to give this one a chance after all. Also, my friend recommended it, but he also admitted he's a fanboy.
And boooy is this a mess. I remember first being shocked by the news of a new Spider-Man reboot coming just a couple years after the Raimi's "Spider-Man 3" fiasco. But that was a time for…
