Notes: It is usually considered as the best installment of this whole saga and, after re-watching the damned thing once again, I believe it really deserves this status. Indeed, even though it still remains a seminal piece of popcorn entertainment, this time, it was quite darker than its predecessor and towards the end, it almost became some kind of Greek tragedy. Indeed, the climax with the duel between Skywalker and Vader has become pretty much the stuff of legends, it is still thrilling after all these years and I would be really surprised if they would ever manage to top that in the upcoming sequels (obviously, they didn't). Sure, 40 years later, it might seem pretty cheesy to discover the truth about Luke's father but it is because it has been copied and parodied so many times afterwards and, in fact, it was terribly effective. The good stuff didn’t stop there though. Indeed, you also had the enigmatic Boba Fett whose backstory would be really messed up in the prequels and, of course, the all mighty Yoda who would become one of the most beloved characters in this franchise.
Teenage Memories (49 person items)"Still... a really awesome list though! Half of it was just so relatable and mirrored very much my own feeling/experience. The other half was equally interesting as it was nice to read about someone "
Teenage Memories (49 person items)"You mentioned 'the last great decade of American cinema...' regarding 'Léon' but 'Léon' is actually a French movie."
“I have to admit that I’m not exactly a huge fan of The Notorious B.I.G. but since this new documentary was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, the beginning was pretty much a mess. Maybe they wanted to show how unique and intimate the footage would be ” read more
What is it about?
Following the events of 'Avengers: Endgame,' Sam Wilson/Falcon and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier team up in a global adventure that tests their abilities -- and their patience.
My verdict:
Sure, it wasn’t original as ‘WandaVision’ turned out to be but it was still quite entertaining though. On top of that, even though it was this time pretty straightforward, it was actually neat that it was something completely different. Eventually, what the two shows had in common was that they both focused on 2 characters who didn’t get much attention so far in the over-crowded MCU and it is rather unlikely that any of them would ever get their own massive MCU blockbuster. All in all, it was nice to spend more time with a set of characters who remained in the shadows until that point. Can’t wait to see ‘Loki’ next.
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Rosamund Pike, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be an interesting story but, beside being a solid history lesson, to be honest, it never really managed to engage me emotionally. For e” read more
