Superhero fatigue must be a thing...The reviews for this movie are pretty positive, but I still don't feel like checking it out.
I can already imagine the protagonist being torn between his newfound role as a superhero and the demands of family, only to realize after a long series of humorous situations that he can serve both by being true to himself, and... Yeah.
I was done with the whole genre after watching just about everything leading up to Endgame. Once that saga closed I've seen like 2 superhero related things and just can't muster the energy to watch it. Even seemingly great movies like the Spider-Man stuff, particularly Into the Spiderverse looks awesome but I'm just so done with it all. That said it's not like I consume all that many movies outside superhero stuff either so yeah.
Please reconsider Spiderverse. Both movies are superbly made.
Maybe they should wait for the 3rd one. 2nd is kind of a cliffhanger.
Cliffhanger is a generous term for "the movie doesn't have a 3rd act"
Don't get me wrong, I liked it but it just kind of stops instead of ends
People saying it's a terrific movie are being incredibly misleading. Across the Spiderverse is 100% setup, 0% payoff.
At this point the only thing I'm interested in is the Loki series everything else I just can't muster the energy/desire to want to watch.
Loki had my interest until the last episode of season one. Now I'm worried season two will be an extended trailer for Kang Dynasty.
I was done the moment I realised they weren't brave enough to be experimental with their formula and tone/vibe. I think the high points were Iron man (1) / Winter Soldier / Ragnorok / Endgame / Loki (TV) ... because they all did something new for the genre. Everything else has been bland, or, sadly IMO, had fans decry it for not being a comic book movie (looking at MCU fans criticising Eternals).
It is for me, at least for Marvel. I think the last one I saw in theaters was Black Panther 2. I've never seen any other Marvel movie (or series) since then. DC not much either, but it's more because they're terrible. I watched The Flash at home and I'm so glad I didn't waste money in the cinema for that cgi garbage.
I watched it last night and you’re not close. Still not sure I’d recommend it, though.
Really? I watched the trailer and that was the exact vibe it gave off. Maybe that formula works so well that they decided to advertise the movie that way, instead of showing what the movie was actually like?
Trailer companies don’t have access to the whole movie. They just hack together whatever they can maybe with some director input, iirc.
Actually no. The family steps up. Nana kicks ass. It's refreshing that the main cast aren't just fodder for the plot.
