Went into this one with low expectations and I was gladly wrong on that.
This is kind of a hidden gem tbh which genuinely surprised me.
Tonally it's basically in line with the 90's live action and Saturday morning versions but updated to be less hokey and more reflective of modern references and pop culture. On the scale of comedy to grim dark OG black and white comics, this is firmly in the comedy camp, which is fine by…
Even if you did see the edward norton hulk movie, the eternals, and falcon and the winter soldier, you'd still be as bored as someone who hadn't.

Not so big on things like a cohesive narrative, but visually and stylistically mesmerizing. Literally, I felt like I was sucked into the dreamlike aesthetic of the first part of the film despite saying things out loud like "what the hell is going on in this movie" while a character ate an apple and wept for a minute-long static shot…
big homeward bound energy on this one, but a million times better.
I'm for sure the target audience for these kind of things, triplets of belleville made my top picks of the year it was out and this one doesn't disappoint.
Kind of cool that silent/heavy sound design stuff is still rocking in current cinema, stuff like this or mad god or hundreds of beavers tell us that you can still successfully experiment and make something fantastic in the age…
