I've watched Oppenheimer, Baby Driver, and The Marvels enjoyed all of them.
Oppenheimer is surprisingly gripping given the subject matter, and kept my attention very well.
I also realized while watching it why so many actors wanted to be in it. Not just to work with Nolan but to be able to play a character over a wider period of history. That's a rare feat.
Baby Driver is just a fun ride beginning to end, as we tend to expect from Edgar Wright. Unfortunately it also has Kevin Spacey in it. Ah well.
The Marvels was also a ton of fun. Some of the more emotional elements felt a bit forced but that's the point, Carol is still emotionally stunted by what she has been put through.
It was a lot stronger to me than Quantumania was, and I think a lot of why both movies suffer is - aside from superhero fatigue - the very existence of Disney+. I'm not gonna see something in a theater that will be in my living room a few months later on a service I'm already paying for.
