What was it about?
Dr. Stephen Strange casts a forbidden spell that opens the doorway to the multiverse, including alternate versions of himself, whose threat to humanity is too great for the combined forces of Strange, Wong, and Wanda Maximoff.
My two cents:
Unfortunately, to be honest, the whole thing turned out to be a rather overhyped and forgettable MCU feature running on auto-pilot, Iām afraid. Sure, it was still fairly entertaining but, in my opinion, it was actually a step down from Doctor Strangeās previous solo feature. Eventually, it was one of those rare blockbusters which could have been slightly longer. Above all, after all, there was not much āMultiverseā and not enough āMadnessā for my taste. Indeed, they basically visited only 2 other multiverses and one of them was already on the brink of obliteration. The one they spent most of their time was eventually not explored whatsoever which felt like a missed opportunity but I wish they kept on going in this journey and showed us some really wild places in the process. Eventually, you can only wonder what Scott Derrickson would have done if he would have stayed on board and itās unfortunate that he wasnāt allowed to turn it into an actual horror film, the reason why he left this project. I thought it was also rather odd that there was basically no link whatsoever with the previous MCU movies, even with the last Spider-Man. Instead, they linked it with āWhat ifā¦?ā and with āWandaVisionā which means that you basically HAVE to get Disney+, otherwise, good luck keeping track with the continuity in the MCU from now on. At least, I did appreciate that they gave us a villain who didnāt want to obliterate half of our population for once and Doctor Strange is still a pretty cool character.
My rating: 07/10

“I already saw this movie but since it was already available on Disney+, I thought I might as well re-watch it. Well, the first time around, with such a promising title, with such a cool director involved, I was pretty excited but, unfortunately, to be honest, the whole thing turned out to be a rathe” read more

What is it about?
New Jersey raised Kamala Khan learns she has polymorphous powers.
My verdict:
Well, even if it was maybe not really amazing, it was still another really refreshing TV-show from Marvel. I wish they did connect more the TV-shows together or with the full-length features (in this case, there was just a very short cameo of Captain Marvel which did last only a few seconds) but, still, it was pretty awesome to see the first Muslim super-hero in the MCU.2 years, 8 months ago

johanlefourbe posted a review of Reinventing Marvin
“To be honest, I wasnāt really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was directed by Anne Fontaine, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be a decent portrayal of a young boy (and man) struggling with his homosexuality within an intolerant and hostile environment” read more

Notes: Well, as far as I was concerned, I thought it was visually impressive and I really enjoyed the tense dark ominous mood. I have to admit that I was little concerned after I saw the trailer which, to be honest, didnāt really impress me as it made the whole thing look like a rather basic vengeance tale. Indeed, the biggest challenge for Robert Eggers was to turn this classic Scandinavian legend which had inspired countless other stories such as āHamletā or even āThe Lion Kingā into something new and, if I have to be honest with myself, he didnāt really succeed. Sure, I loved the visuals and how was I completely immersed in this vintage Viking world but the whole thing was still too predictable. I have to admit that I didnāt see coming the scene when Amlethās mother pretty much shattered his already fairly demented psychological state by revealing her true feelings about his father and even himself. However, it was the only surprising thing that occurred during more than 2 hours of mayhem. Still, the general madness and the bleakness of the whole endeavor was very much appreciated. Eventually, if you see the current state of our world, 1000 years later, our inclination for violence didnāt really change, the only thing which has evolved is that we donāt use such seemingly innocent axes anymore but missiles capable of wiping out a whole building. In the meantime, we still manage to fight for the most dubious reasons and we will keep doing it because thatās our tragic nature.2 years, 8 months ago
