Every reviewer with superhero fatigue needs to stop watching said movies. As an old fart who grew up reading every comic in print, most superhero movies made in the past decade have been awesome - Sony SpidermanWithoutSpiderman movies not included - and I'm sick of reading/hearing a bunch of nonsense whinging from people who never liked capeshit in the first place.

Cap4 was great. I was on the edge of my seat throughout much of the movie. The CGI was 100% fine. Everyone in my theater enjoyed it.

Rant over.

I feel like there are three kinds of reviewers.

People who review for a living and have to go watch every movie to write something about it, and are sick of Marvel movies but this is their job.

People who hate superhero movies and know that a scathing review will be good for engagement, so they eagerly anticipate each hatewatching experience. I put the bigots in this category, too, although that's an entirely different kind of hate. This group enjoys shitting on the movies, the companies that make them, the actors and filmmakers who support them, and anyone who wants to see them.

People who enjoy MCU movies and genuinely share their honest opinion, but they are fans so you can't really trust their opinion either.

In the end, Marvel is for fans. If you're a fan, you're going to see the movie or watch the show. If it's great, word of mouth will spread and people will see it. If it sucks, the same will happen. Written reviews and scores and everything else can be ignored.

Eternals got a "B", I find it hard to believe a Cap movie could be worse than that.

Marvels also got a B, so did Quantumania, both of those were better than the Eternals.

And Eternals isn't even that bad. Its pacing is atrocious and it has way too many characters, but the story is solid and some moments are really great (anything with the Celestials). It would have been a much better experience as a miniseries devoting each episode to the backstory of one Eternal.

That's the exact same criticism I would give Brave New World. The Leader especially needed time for his plot to grow.

Tap for spoilerHe just kept jumping around, he shows up at the secret base and kills that guy, perfect timing.

He kills an admiral for some reason.

He turns himself in to Sam for some reason.

I think the Leader as the big bad works better if he's in the background causing chaos. Make it difficult to know if it's really him.

How is that the lowest? I tried watching love and thunder and halfway through i gave up. I wanted Jane is thor because the hammer deems her worthy but no, that was basically the b plot to thor feeling cucked by his hammer because it's helping his ex for him. In the comics this was the he isn't worthy but she is arc.

This is for CinemaScore, where they poll audiences at the theater after watching the movie. The average score they gave was B-, which is the lowest score for an MCU movie so far.

Thor: Love and Thunder received a B+ CinemaScore, back when people were still semi-optimistic about Phase 4.

Wow, that's still pretty generous. Go see it in 4DX. You won't like it more, but it'll be the least of your concerns at that point. Bonus points if you load up on so many concessions that you have to carefully balance them on your lap.

That's like $200 that I'd rather spend on ketamine

[–] Remember_the_tooth 3 points 6 days ago

Fair enough, but I think my plan will help dissociate, too.
