This is a great MCU film, probably 3rd or 4th overall for me.
One of the MCU’s greatest strengths is its casting. None of the actors phone it in. Hell, I’m still floored by the amount of work Cooper puts into Rocket Raccoon.
RDJ deserved an Oscar nom for this movie. Those last few scenes are raw as hell, and along with his delivery of ‘Cut the shit, Rogers! Did you know?’, they’re as good if not better than anything he’s ever done. One thing I love about his performances in these movies - he never, ever says to himself ‘It’s just a comic…
It’s hokey as hell, but I love T’challas final line to Zemo:
I’m really happy Bruhl’s Zemo survived. I have high hopes he returns in a future movie, either an Under Siege or Thunderbolts adaptation.
The one you described is certainly top 3 or 4, but I’m still of the party that thinks the T’Challa/Zemo final conversation and suicide prevention is one of the most absolutely magical scenes the MCU has managed to produce. Brühl managed to inject more pathos over the span of about 2 minutes of screen time than any…
She outmaneuvered Littlefinger, beat him at his own game, and had him killed in public so decisively that no one protested when she did it.
She might be referring to figuring out what Littlefinger was up to, and coming up with the plot to draw him out, which both sisters participated in. Sansa is more strategic, and less about honor and plain ole brutal fighting, is all.
The Martian is a great movie in which Queen Lilandra leads a team of Luis, Bucky and Sue Storm to enact a plan laid out by Mordo, Wong and The Prowler to rescue the actor Loki hired.
Will that be brought to us in glorious WandaVision?
I’d love to see a Luis recap of all the MCU movies as an intro to Endgame.
“And Tony Stark was all, ‘I’m totally gonna get this gauntlet off him’. But then Peter Quill got all in Thanos’s face, like, ‘Why’d you kill my girl?’, and Thanos was all, ‘Nah, bro, she wasn’t your girl.’”
I love the supporting characters in Ant-Man. Judy Greer is criminally underused (as with all things Greerish, even Archer), but Cassie Lang is seriously awesome.
Maybe people should just not watch movie trailers, if it’s going to cause them so much anxiety and pain, and learn to just enjoy stuff again?
Might that not be because these faith-based movies have a habit of following the same formula? If one would put storytelling above pandering, it might get a different review.
(part of what makes Bronn such a compelling character is the realization he could go either way)
I don’t want to overstate this, because Ronan isn’t a particularly interesting villain, but I do think the “Ronan is boring and awful” line with regards to this movie is a bit much. I think he more or less works within the context of Guardians of Galaxy - he’s a humorless fanatic with a very clear, understandable…
“Vers is a Starforce traitor! The treaty with Xandar is liberal nonsense! Build the wall to keep out the Skrulls! Make the Empire Great Again!”
Followed by a zoom in to Luke’s face as he says, “groovy!”
