I’m not usually one of the people in the comments, braying about how far the AVClub has fallen, but...this review is almost unreadable. It’s so, so overwritten. Like, to the point that the only possible reasons are that:

“Someone is going to write a book about the Flash movie at some point...”

This trailer doesn’t worry me nearly as much as the fact that the original creators broke away and have completely disavowed this. 

See to me the dumbass character decisions made the typical necessary sci fi suspension of disbelief impossible to sustain. Space will kill you, atmosphere on alien planets will kill you, unknown life forms will kill you, yet a crew member / scientist is going to play with a snake that materializes out of some…

Tenet wasn’t very fun to watch the first time though

There should be no need to watch Prometheus a second time.

I completely believe Robert Downey Jr. when he says that Mel Gibson helped him during the lowest points of his life and helped him get sober.

What a brave take about a situation you have absolutely zero insight into. 

I’m not surprised. I remember reading the stories about how when Gene Hackman was bullying Anderson on the set of Tenenbaums, Murray took it upon himself to go to set to keep watch because he knew Hackman wasn’t going to pull shit in front of him. Which I respect. But given everything else that’s come out about Bill,…

I think the theme here is “buy a ticket based on its connection to a show you remember liking, not by the movie’s actual quality.”

I had no idea either.  I follow these kind of things at least casually.  I knew Infinity War was the first part, for instance.  I had NO clue about this one and I was pissed.

Lots to like in this movie, but also a lot that doesn’t work. At a certain point, the central gag of seeing more and more (and more and more!) Spider-Man variants becomes seriously diminishing returns, just hashing out the same joke, over and over, even if the two main new entries in this movie, Spider Punk and Indian…

There’s different ways of setting up sequels and I am not sure the audience being angry at the end of it like mine was is a great thing.

I had no idea it was a two parter, and there was a lot of screaming at the screen in my theatre by randoms lol, which made it a memorable viewing at least.

Saw this at the first regular screening at my local theater, and gotta say that when what was effectively a “To Be Continued” dropped onscreen, one of my fellow theatergoers effectively summed up the whole vibe with “Ah, that’s some bullshit!”

Yeah, go ahead and set your own terms with Marvel... they love that.

Picard? You have GOT to be joking...

If you were going to include a Whedonverse show, it should have been “Angel.”

“Let’s get to work.”

Angel had better Series Finale than Buffy.

It’s amazing how television was invented in 2000, isn’t it?
