| 04.22.23 | Internet | Latest marvel. I think the previous films have felt "minor" where they were fun but didn't really affect the MCU much. This one seems more central, but still due to the nature of setting up the next big conflict or whatever it has to end on a bit of an unknown. I dunno, this was fine. I like Paul Rudd. I like Michael Douglas in this role. I thought this was better than the last few I saw. I liked how weird everything was. Yes it was cartoony and childish but hey, so are comic books. This is the level of weirdness and randomness that I wanted from the Dr. Strange Multiverse movie. There are still some pretty major logistical leaps (they can breathe oxygen? what do they eat? If it's outside of space and time then why did Michelle Pfeiffer age 30 years?), but whatever. I have an easier time looking past that stuff when there's a guy with a laser gun for a head. In that mode, I thought MODOK was funny and didn't upset me with his tone. Jonathan Majors was a decent Kang (we'll see if this is his last appearance). But Bill Murray was just kinda there. the protracted exposition stuff was slow and clunky, the rules felt made up about whether they're stuck there or whatever. There is ZERO chemistry between Rudd and Evangeline Lilly. Really her presence in the movie felt strained, which sucks for her. I dunno what's going on there but she didn't seem to be having a good time at all. so yeah, it was fine. |
