This was my first experience with Taika Waititi and it was funny. I thought it was really well told story about redemption and really finding out who you are inside. I think that is something that the whole of Marvel Phase 3 really works on is pushing this idea that we are more than our name.
It is a movie that just keeps on giving. The action and slapstick comedy works so well with the Friendly vibe. I must applaud Tom Holland for the shape they got in, and his American accent. His chemistry with MJ and Ned is so good. I mean it makes sense he and Zendaya are in a great relationship.
The parkour was so good. There is a part at the end where you are running through this temple and you have to do things in the right order or you have to go back a section. This and some of the Vatican area are the most fun since you have so many ways of getting around and with a lot of the missions
He could leap buildings in a single bound. However, in each comic they gave him new powers to fight the new villains. With the Infinity Stones being the major premise of these phases, you have to tame the people who can wield them. So this entire movie is to take away that power from him.
This type of unlimited firing without reloading is a major no-no. This isn't [[Heat]] from the 80s. We can just fire until the Second Coming. This is nothing compared to the absolutely lazy writing in initially calling Alan's character a Staff Sergeant during INDOC and then a Corporal at the end.
As I was making the poster for this, I read the tagline "Even the Brave Will Fall." First off, no shit Sherlock. Secondly, this is barely a true statement to this book. There is only one character that is for sure dead, the other will come back in the next book, which I won't be reading, guaranteed.
The Skyline is by far the best car in this movie, and I am so sad that it plays such a limited part in this movie. The scene where all the cars push out of the garage is fascinating. Kind of stupid, but fascinating. The acting is still just a push. You can see it getting better, but it isn't great
I think part of it might be Chiwetel Ejiofor's character constantly talking about everything going on off screen and the "battle for your life" every couple of seconds. I just never liked his character. Plus the super white bald Sorcerer Supreme is an odd choice
Another banger from the Russo brothers, and another outstanding Captain America movie. This is my favorite of one. We get a great bad guy, Zemo, who really makes a lot of sense for a dude who lost everything from a city being dropped down. Then you get to meet the Black Panther.
in John Wick Chapter 2 or John Wick Chapter 3 we did get good motorcycle combat. Why do I bring those movies up for a movie that was made 20 years prior? Because they guys in that movie were stunt coordinators on other films at that time and people said that the realism wouldn't sell tickets…
I mean one of my favorite parts is the boy pretending to be the grandfather. Still makes me laugh. What is there to hate on? Family friendly movie with a couple of "Butthead" level insults. Solid things for all members of the family to watch.
However, for a pure fantasy world, this is outstanding. No magic, no elves, just a fantasy knightly world where honor is lost to fable. It will easily be the best show I watch all year and the one I will recommend all year.
