Trying not to feed the trolls
I thought it was really good and if it overcame those shortcomings it would have been ever better.
Eh IDK I think this movie is gonna have great word of mouth. Wouldn’t be shocked if it ends up making even more money this upcoming weekend.
This!
The Eternals - Could have been amazing if they weren’t trying to tell like six origin stories AND THEN a team-up story in the same film
Honorable mentions:
The Marvels - The first act was some of the best post-Endgame stuff in the MCU, the bickering between the three leads really reminded me of how the Avengers fought in the first Avengers film. It really was a shame that they just said “sorry” in a cornfield and released all the tension right at the end of the first act.
The Substance - Had the potential to be a timeless classic but it forgoed poignancy for 40 extra minutes of absurdist, overindulgent and redundant body horror
The New Mutants - They should have never hired the director of The Fault In Our Stars for a movie like that
LEGO: The Adventures Of Clutch Powers - Too much setup without payoff
We’re All Going to the World’s Fair - HORRIBLE pacing really hurts this movie even though the story, atmosphere and worldbuilding were incredible
Only one so far, Black Bag. Great movie although you have to pay close attention or you might feel confused by the end.
