Better Than Wonder Woman
10 March 2019
THIS is how you do a female "superhero" movie. First of all, it's not even a "superhero" movie, it's a sci-fi action film that just so happens to take place in the Marvel MCU. More along the lines of Guardians of the Galaxy. In fact, this was funnier than GoG, Chris Pratt's schtick is getting stale.

And how friggin amazing is it that actors don't have to worry about being old anymore? (lol) They can just put them in the computer and viola, digital de-aging! I knew Sam Jackson would steal the show, but I did not know that a 1998 Sam Jackson would. I grew up in the 80s/90s, I graduated in 94, this movie does for the 90s what Stranger Things did for the 80s. It makes me yearn for a simpler time when not everything was "smart" yet.

I digress. Brie was great, the story wasn't too cookie cutter, and the best Marvel special effects yet. I really liked the plot, a soldier on the wrong side of the war is a classic, and it's done well.

On a personal note, this movie friggin rocked. To see my kids faces while they watched, and all the other girls in the theater, it almost brought me to tears. It has such a good message. Bravo Marvel.

The Stan Lee tribute heels tears in the first 30 seconds, and sets the tone for the whole movie. Great stuff!
