johanlefourbe posted a review of Think Like a Man Too
“I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out anyway. To be honest, I have to admit that I didn’t remember much about ‘Think Like a Man’ (after checking my review for this movie, I was surprised to discover that it ” read more

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, I’m afraid. Sure, it was still fairly entertaining but, in my opinion, it was actually a step down from Doctor Strange’s 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 ‘Multiverse’ and not enough ‘Madness’ 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 it’s unfortunate that he wasn’t 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 ‘What if…?’ and with ‘WandaVision’ 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 didn’t 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.3 years, 1 month ago
