Captain Marvel (2019)
Disappointing, not Marvelous
Went into this one with no expectations other than that this was the next Marvel Cinematic Universe movie.
Left this one thinking that it wasn't worth watching again.
There was some good humor scattered throughout, most of it coming from Nick Fury, and that's expected with the MCU.
What else is expected from the McU is fantastic effects and interesting fight scenes. Both these fell flat in this one.
The characters and the plot were not interesting enough to hold my attention, and the pacing was off. The beginning was slow, then it picked up a bit once Fury and Carol got to the secret base, got slow again once they found Carol's friend, and the climax just didn't work.
There was no real threat of failure, no real drama, and no real opposition for Captain Marvel. She could've beaten every villain on her own, as shown when she went super sayain. Also, she must've watched Solo, a Star Wars Story, because they went with the same "hero shoots mentor to defeat him while they're in a standoff" moment from that.
Overall, this movie ranks low in rewatchability, possibly even lowest on my list down with Thor 2. It never really found it's stride and it never really held my attention.
The best part was the Mid-Credit sequence.
The Hurricane Heist (2018)
Cheesy...on purpose?
Terrible acting along with cheesy dialogue and a goofy plot made this one difficult to watch. But, it fell real close to being in the "so bad it's good" category that I question whether it was intentional. Toby Kebbell has acted far better in other things but was a robot here. The villains were just trash, especially Sasha one of the worst actors I've seen in a while. But it also seemed like it might've been intentionally bad, in which case it makes it a bit easier to handle. Don't go into it with any expectations other than a goofy cheese action film and you don't be disappointed
Vader: A Star Wars Theory Fan Series (2018)
Stunning, gripping (no pun intended) and beautiful
Experience Vader as you've never seen him before: Broken. The cast, crew, and everyone involved put in so much work and it shows. You feel emotion emanating every second of the first episode, and it makes you care about this cruel and ruthless character. So far I've only watched it twice but I am sure I will watch it again! Great work!
