I donāt know. Each year I get less excited for the MCU. The movies are always good I guess, but once youāve seen the same formula play out more than a dozen times on the big screen it starts to get stale. I did think Black Panther kicked ass though. Infinity War and the other recent ones didnāt do much for me though. Iāll probably skip this one or catch it on Netflix.
Up to you, but if you look at the writers alone for thisā¦ One of them wrote the first GOTG, the other wrote the incredible (even by Pixar standards) Inside Out. Sure itās a Marvel movie but honestly weād be kidding ourselves if this doesnāt feel like something special.
Alsoā¦ Isnāt this one the last one released right before Infinity War: Part 2? If you wait you wonāt get to see the mid-credit and post-credit tags before the Avengers resolution.
I will say thisā¦ the worst MCU movie is still miles better than the best DCEU film (excluding Wonder Woman).
Oh for sure, at this point Marvelās perfected the formula for passable movies. I donāt think other than Thor 2 or Iron Man 2 has any other Marvel movie been straight up bland.
WW is the exception for everything. Although I think it now also suffers the same fate of all high expectations ā (high risk of) not reaching them.
Captain Marvel looks great, and I canāt wait for an Avengers trailer to drop. At this point, I guess itāll be aired during the Superbowl.
Interestingly, one of the directors of Infinity War was recently asked about Chris Evans tweeting about being done with Captain America and he said, āI think it was more emotional for him than us. Only because heās not done yet. I donāt want to explain what that means but the audience will soon understand what Iām talking about.ā
Very little interest in most of what DC is doing. Shazam may be okay. I like Zachary Levi. I will go see Aquaman, but since theyāre seemingly done with Superman and Batman, Iām not really invested in it.
People have just been whipped into a frenzy so no matter how mind blowing it is -and there is no way it is not gonna be- there will be those who will be dissapointed.
I trust these guys as so far they have mantained a very strict line, eyes on teh goal. Lots of crumbs to follow over 10 years of movies, that is no small feat. Actually, I am going to be sad when this chapter closes. Even though the movies are based -but not copies- of the comics, they are currently the most energetic original thing on the screen.
And in a tiem when they have resurrected so many mommies and zombies from tv, movies, books and beyond, that is so refreshing.
Superhero ācaped crusaderā movies are seen as original?
MarvelĀ“s take is. Compared say, to all the resurrections we have seen lately taht have failed so catastrophically. By comparison, I mean. The genre was dead and they revived it. Something like what GOT did to fantasy.
Now we need a new Star Trek to push sci fi into a better realm.
They all seem a bit childish to me, I gave up believing in superheroes when I was 12 
.
Ooh look special effects
Ready Player One was very good in the āsci fiā genre I thought, it felt like something new to me.
Yawn. Whatās new.
Fuck superhero movies.
A lot of them are formulaic, yes. But thereās nothing childish about Logan. Iād suggest checking that out before you paint too wide a brush. You may be surprised how much you like it.
Logan wasnāt bad. I liked Spiderman 1, kind of goofy angle is funny. I also enjoyed the Batman with Heath Ledgerā¦

More like all of them are formulaic.
But thatās just not true. Yes, many of them are. But Deadpool, Logan, The Dark Knight are all examples of comicbook movies that were different or unique.
I donāt understand superhero movies, either.
I mean, I grew up watching The Adventures of Superman, which I loved when I was an adolescent. By the time I was twelve or thirteen, and we had a brand-new color television set, I concluded the Batman TV series was the most idiotic thing Iād ever seen on television (although I watched it). I kinda liked the 1978 Superman movie when I was in my early 20s, but I had zero interest in the sequels. That was it, though.
Iāve never watched a single Batman movie, and the idea of watching a āuniverseā movie today is something Iād consider if the paint had dried thoroughly first in a freshly painted room. My wife likes them - and she loved Logan - but I have no interest in them at all.
Iāve tried, though. I sat through about twenty minutes of Logan once. Iāve seen Heath Ledger as Joker on television, but I couldnāt stick out the whole thing.
Iām not going to say theyāre silly, or run down people (like my wife) who like them, but I just donāt get it, not at all.
