  Enjoyable, but as will tend to be the case with modern Nolan movies, imo more style than substance. Clever and cute but ultimately a bit empty.

  Barbie 2023

  ★★★ Rewatched 21 Jul 2023

  Manages to hit all the beats it aims for without being overwhelmingly clunky. Very clearly has a path it wants to walk and manages to do that for the most part without flinching. Drags occasionally, especially in the back third, i was a little more relieved than I wanted to be when it found its way to the finish line. Solid punchline at the end helped though.

  I think it might have been a better movie with no Michael Cera…

  Avengers: Endgame 2019

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Apr 2019

  Truly stunning fulfillment of a decade and 22 movies worth of buildup.

  Impressive swan songs from Iron Man and Cap - the next generation of Avengers has big boots to fill. But of course, the performances from Team Wakanda, Dr Strange, and Spiderman look very promising.

  Definitely some narrative gimmicks. The time travel felt a little weird, and Cap's last dance seemed forced.
