So another underwhelming movie? That’s sad for Hemsworth.

The Chapek Era: Edit all MCU movies down to 2 hours to maximize theater showtimes because fuck the plot or anything making sense.

Report me if I continue to console war
Will give my impressions on thursday.
Got to say im not that hyped, gor the god butcher looks a really boring bad guy, well from what we have seen of him anyway.
It will probably be better then dark world though.

He'll recover. He's a many times over millionaire and he looks like Chris Hemsworth. He's not going to cry himself to sleep.

Yeah I'm not surprised that he got his contract renewed. All these investors care about is money lol

Strikes me that a lot of these new MCU movies would fair far worse with critics… if they weren’t MCU movies.

Doctor Strange 2 is a way better movie than No Way Home. Wanda was a fantastic villain in that movie

As if Phase 1, 2 and 3 don't have the same issues?

They're literally starting the best comic storyline of the last decade right now (with DS2) that led to the most awesome event since the original Infinity Guantlet.

Too bad they aren't able to translate that into the movies.

Same with the Star Wars movies. It’s because of the Nerd Crew-type of reviewers. They’re fanboys first and reviewers second.

Exactly, just look at IGN or any other of these outlets, the people reviewing movies aren't movie buffs, they are superhero fans. These movies and TV shows are getting significantly higher scores because of it.
It doesn't matter though, as most people are absolute cretins when it comes to stuff like this and would watch a rock falling down a hill as long as it got some special effects on it. Disney is gonna keep making billions by killing famous franchises.

One could say you aren't a movie buff for hating on the genre....

Huh?

Who are you to say they aren't movie buffs just because they like super hero movies?

Like movie nerds are any less annoying than comic book nerds. I like Taika Waititi though. Jojo Rabbit was way better than most movies I've seen from recent years, and he even got a way better performance from Scarlet Johansson in it than I've ever seen in a marvel film.

I didn't say they aren't movie buffs because they like superhero movies, I said a lot of sites have a tendency to have the resident super marvel fan review everything marvel, and it's juicing review scores.
The same thing happened with game of thrones, a lot of sites started to review the show out of the blue when it got popular.

Critic reviews have become as reliable as user reviews. It's not the 90's anymore. A good chunk, if not the majority, of "official" reviews are done by people that only have blog-level experience in writing and got the job because they were the biggest "movie buff" on the staff at the time, or they have a site/blog that got popular because they spammed rumor articles everyday for a couple years and then act professional when they're high enough on the Google SEO.
It's all a joke. Watch trailers and use your own judgement from that if you want to see the movie or not. That's a more reliable strategy than what modern reviewers are going to say.

I have tickets for Saturday, but I'm not "excited" like I was to see Maverick or even Elvis.
I think Marvel makes weak trailers, and I felt this exact way about the last Spiderman, so I'm hoping it ends up being great - loved No Way Home.
This phase has been a turd to me so far and the way too close tie to Disney+ shows makes it all feel like homework. This one seems free of that aspect at least.

MCU films get reviews from the kind of outlets that the RLM Nerd Crew is parodying. For some reason Rotten Tomatoes includes a shit load of them for their scoring. The average film gets ignored by those places because they have such a small scope. So an MCU film is getting substantially more reviews and from places that are far more likely to be positive.

Really needs to stop making it look like they just came of the assembly line Disney. First mcu movie I have no problem reading apoilers. Loki remains the goat of phase 4.

Well,
Hercules is in the movie in the mid-credits scene.
They've made him super gay in the comics.

I'm watching this tommorow. I can't wait to watch it due to being a Gorr The God Butcher fan and that storyline in the comics. How was he in the film?

His arc in this movie is basically a Wikipedia summary of the comic storyline.

I personally think he really hit it out of the park and came across as menacing. His scenes are pretty much all played straight which I was happy to see. There could be maybe 1 or 2 lines that come across as "jokey" but it's due to the scene and circumstance that it's in.
*EDIT*
And there are definitely differences to his arc from the comics, works well for the movie.

Yeah Christian Bale is a fantastic actor. My favorite role of his is Patrick Bateman from American Psycho

Check out the new trailer for Amsterdam, Mr Bale seems to be back in Hollywood which is great.
