  Captain America: Brave New World 2025

  ★½ Watched 19 Feb 2025

  How does marvel bring in new fans whilst building on almost 20 years of cinematic adaptations? I don't know? Do you know? Disney sure as hell doesn't know because this ain't it cap.

  Weird that this is more of a sequel to The Incredible Hulk (2008) than any of the three Chris Evens Cap movies or even Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021). Which really highlights both how stale the current MCU is and how inaccessible it is to new…

  Spirited Away 2001

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 22 Dec 2024 4

  Moral of the story: Husbands, listen to your wives when they say "don't take the off road shortcut in the Audi sedan" that you say is " four wheel drive" (spoilers, it absolutely is not 4wd).

  Music, art and vibes are immaculate. The meloncoly of Sen/Chihiro being torn between saving her new friends and her parents hurts my soul but in a good way. Beautiful alternate to a coming of age story.

  Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania 2023

  ★★½ Watched 18 Feb 2023

  A strange take on the stranded planet sci fi trope/Alice in wonderland that's a little held back by trying setup a greater MCU conflict.

  The scott/Cassie relationship is good when explored but seems rushed. Whilst Hope's relationships with her parents and Scott are largely out on the back foot.

  Maybe it's my MCU fatigue, but the whole Kang thing seemed a little forced. That said Jonathan Majors is excellent when given time to show his flexibility.

  Update. It took me…
