Last Movie You Watched Part II, Electric Bugaloo

[batnbreakfast]

yeah, "Doctor Strange" was very formulaic... but, I enjoyed it. I watched that one mostly for the cast... because I already knew the story would just be a thinly veiled remake of "Iron Man". I'm hoping that Mordo becomes one of the better MCU villains later.

My theory is they use the time gem and undo Thanos 50% plan... making things worse as they get the attention of... Kang (the next big badguy). Don't know if there's a Strange sequel at all and if there is... Mordo is probably just the Jack the Ripper of wizards. I really like Wong (Netflix' Khan)

How is it a remake of IronMan. It follows the Lee/Ditko origin from Strange Tales.

People say that because they are both assholes who become better people. And they make Strange make some weird our if character jokes throughout the movie. But like Ive said before. Ragnarok and infinity war used Strange right. So marvel learned from any issue Strange had in his first movie and I'm excited for the sequel. Which doesnt have a date but Feigie said its 100% coming they just got alot on they're plate. But in Ragnarok and IW all of Stranges funny moments didnt come from quips or one liners. They were situation or him just plain being a dick. And that's how it should be. He was hilarious in his brief scene in Ragnarok and he didnt make a single joke and was very stoic. So even when Marvel stumbles with a character I feel like they are great at course correcting. I mean I feel like thor is the most likely of the big 3 to stay post Avengers end game and it because with ragnarok and Infinity war hes had a surge in popularity because they found what works for him on film. My only concern is in IW Thor was marvels Superman when he came to wakanda the tide turned and people cheered and knew they had a chance to win simply because Thor was there. Exactly what Superman is I'm the comics. But now Carol's coming and shes suppose to be even more powerful. So curious how that works feel like two Thors could take Thanos no problem but shes suppose to be even more powerful. Unless they meant more powerful then Thor before he got his new Hammer which I assume Is suppose to give him a Odin force esque boost.

Ant Man & Wasp.
I was surprised by how much i liked this movie,the first Ant Man movie was all right but not a great mOvie.I liked the sequel more.
And i was never much of a Antman or Wasp fan from the comics,i read lots of comics with them in the Avengers comic books but they were never characters that if they had their own comic books i would buy them.So i was surprised to how much i liked the movie.
The story was interesting and there were some cool funny scenes that worked well in the tone of the movie.Special effects were awesome as well.
And dunno if it´s a spoiler but i will be using the spoilers tag

spoilers:

While watching the movie i thought Bill Foster would use his powers and apear in his costume.But that seems to be just something for the sequel?

end of spoilers

Merry Christmas everybody.

How did u feel about into the spider verse? For me it would have been right after Black Panther. Also Instant family would also make my top 10. Movie legit made me cry and I loved seeing Tom Segura in it

I did not see Into The Spider-Verse. I might see it when it hits TV but otherwise, I didn't have any strong desire to see it.

I love ELF and LOVE ACTUALLY

Those are movies I've watched several times before. I had forgot how depressing LOVE ACTUALLY can be--there's love but there's also a lot of sadness. I may have seen THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER before, but if I did I had forgotten most of it--it's a really great movie as I talked about on another thread. The surprise for me was THE HOLIDAY, which I never had seen--and while it follows the usual tropes but does it rather well--the big attraction was all the stuff with Eli Wallach. I appreciated Nancy Meyers giving so much attention to old Hollywood and the forgotten people from that era.

Over the last 24 hours, I have watched 6 movies, catching up on the movies that came out this year that didn't have long theater runs here and was not able to catch.

Thoroughbreds
You Were Never Really Here
Blindspotting
BlackKklansman
Death of Stalin
Searching

I really enjoyed all of them. In fact, 5 of the 6 may make it on my top 10 list. I spent a lot of this year not really thrilled with this year in movies. Usually I'm super excited catching all the Oscar movies as they get released, but this year, I haven't been. But there have been a ton of great movies, they've just been released throughout the year. But, I guarantee you, the Oscars will forget.

Saw Searching recently. Really well done "found footage" movie.

[Kirby101]

Paddington 2. Just as sweet, and maybe better than the first. Hugh Grant was just having too much fun.

[WestPhillyPunisher]

Finally saw Aquaman yesterday. Gotta say it was pretty darn good, start to finish.
