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.
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).
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?
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.
Like I said, the super generic trailers didn't help.
It's Iron Man, but replace the alcoholic billionaire with a broke fresh college graduate, and replace Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan with a multi-generational Hispanic family.
Honestly isn't that kind of nice to be out of the advertising loop? I'm in the same boat. I think maybe I am once heard something vague about it years ago. But had no idea that it had released.
Idk man... It felt like they forgot to include scenes that would connect shots together? Idk if I'm making sense (it's been a while since I saw it and I only saw it once so...).
Why are box office numbers always framed as a competition in the USA? Did I read once that, for example, movies in France report the number of people that attended--not how much money was spent?
