    I wish I could have joined in their conversation this whole movie. Yelling at characters and such- maybe I was just feeling argumentative- but I think Mickey 17 wanted people to argue with it, I think its purpose was to make conversation.

    This move had a lot to express and get through, but it seemed the soul of the message left a little less room for characters to fully be explored. Regardless, I was genuinely impressed. Mickey’s character(s) was (were) ultimately the one(s) that mattered and Robert Pattinson’s performance did not disappoint.

    This Hugh Grant guy is really great, can’t wait to see if he makes it into anything big.

    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★★

    I feel like Marvel is still finding their footing again, but I did really enjoy this. It is interesting to note how solemn it felt the entire time, a tone familiar to other Captain America movies.

    I don’t think there was enough time for character introductions (or character development in general) for the ups and downs of the plot to cause an emotional reaction. There may have been too many antagonists even for the heroes to find a common thread. The motivations were vast and instead of keeping the audience on their toes, it caused a lack of focus.
