Yeah, my theater nerd wife thought it was perfect and hilarious.

…a completely ridiculous Avengers musical number that Marvel Studios definitely thinks is funnier than it actually is. (It’s not not funny, to be fair.)

I already forgot I saw the movie.

At least 2 and 3 had great action sequences - this didn’t even have that.

It’s not good. If you don’t have HBOMAX skip it. Seeing it in a theatre would be a serious waste of money, imo.

It’s all right. Good, but doesn’t have the spark of a great movie.

It’s the latter.

io9 *really* wants it to be good.

2021 version: you died of a vaccine preventable disease because you don't understand the wealth of information at your fingertips.

I had kind of a weird realization while watching this episode. On a personal level, this was the first time it really hit me that I think this show is really bad and I absolutely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Not just that, but I kind of regret that I suggested it before to a couple of friends to watch.

Oh man that could have gone so much more poorly given that it started with “As much as I like David Tracy.”

Whew. 

Um, kudos to the guy for a budget of $30-45K having just graduated college. My budget for transportation right after college was a half eaton box of Frosted Flakes and a rusty lawn chair...

No. 3/10. It was that painful watching Hammond stopped in the roundabout.

I’m not sure you can call it a cheap shot if the film itself implies this as strongly as this reviewer and others are saying. It’s possible for a creator to be of two minds about their own work (i.e. Trinity and Neo could be incredibly comforting figures...in a movie Lana really didn’t want to make).

Honestly, it feels The Rise of Skywalker gave me some semblance of peace. Not because I liked it, of course, I hated it, but because it broke me out having to care about Star Wars and its fans.

My take on RoS remains that it is is the only Star Wars movie that truly doesn’t deserve to exist.

This. 100%.

The “What’s up Danger” scene is a thing of pure, unadulterated beauty.

In my opinion Into The Spider-verse is the best by far, and quite possibly the best superhero movie ever made.  Great story and visually stunning, but above all just a joyous love letter for the source material that really gets at a spirit that none of the live action ones can touch.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m getting tired of the idea that marginalized characters can only be written by marginalized people of the corresponding group. (I don’t think your article ventures into that territory at all, but it comes close enough to it that I figured this was excuse to try to put some vague thoughts…
