Liz Olsen steals the show both acting and being sexy AF

Just got back, really enjoyed it. Some bits felt a bit hectic but the action was good and it flowed really well. Genuinely surprised when the film ended as it didn't feel like 2 hours at all

Oh massively preferred this to the first. Wasn't overly keen on the first film at all, watched it a few times over the years and it grew on me but this one was much better. But that's the case with Marvel films in general I guess, the earlier ones typically just aren't quite as good as the more recent ones, with the odd exception.

But yeah this was much better for me.

That's good news, I thought first movie was bang average, I like the character within the main ensemble but don't feel he has the presence to carry a solo movie. This in itself is odd as have been reading Dr Strange since my stepdad gave me his silver age comics in my teens in the early 90's and find the comic runs some of the better of the marvel stable.

I thought this was total toss tbh, a jumbled mess badly edited together with wafer thin characters.

Easily the worst Phase 4 film so far.

Next week for me once I'm over this Covid lark.

Saw it yesterday afternoon..

I liked it, the darker feel felt like a departure from the usual copy paste MCU formula.

Really wasn’t expecting Wanda being the main bad guy (didn’t watch most of the trailers) but it worked really well.

The mild horror vibe, especially the illuminati deaths was kinda cool. Would’ve liked maybe a little bit more back story on them though, wasn’t really explained for a casual as it’s probably a comic thing.

The Reid Richards got a very audible reaction from the audience. The Dr X crossover was a nice touch too, hopefully a nod at more to come.

I’m keen to see how Thor4/Gotg2.5 follows on the multiverse plot although I’m fully expecting a more relaxed upbeat vibe from Taika

Oh and stay seated for the mid credits and post credits scenes

Wzd · 6 May 2022 at 10:18

The post credit scene is definitely NOT worth staying around for

I laughed. Having him cameo too with the vibe of that movie I think was a nice touch.

Steedie · 6 May 2022 at 10:31

The second post credits scene is nearly as much of a troll as the Captain America one where he says "Patience. Sometimes, patience is the key to victory. Sometimes, it leads to very little, and it seems like it's not worth it, and you wonder why you waited so long for something so disappointing... How many more of these?"

Really? I found it very easy to follow and thought it was very good.

Thought Black Widow was the worst phase 4 movie.

neil_g · 7 May 2022 at 10:06

Eternals probably the worse for me, this is easily up there for me alongside NWH

Same BW was a wasted opportunity and awful. I'd rather they didn't make it cause it didn't fit to the timeline events and was shoehorned to keep Scarlet happy.

VincentHanna · 7 May 2022 at 11:32

At least Eternals tried something different.

Black widow was generic action movie, but at least we got Yelana from it.
