65/100
It’s a solid entry to the MCU. It’s fairly grounded and not overly quippy like what’s come to be expected of marvel.
While it plays it safe with a fairly predictable plot which moves from one beat to another fairly quickly without much conflict. It lacks ultimatum and suspense. While the action sequences are present and surprisingly good, there’s no music, stingers or stakes at play which felt fairly odd. Meanwhile the characters fall a bit flat with nothing…
Is this by any means perfect or worth 5 stars?
no
But this did beat any expectations I had and be a childhood dream mixed with Carrey doing what Carrey does best.
Fuck yes it does.
Movie of the year for me
Going into it, I had decent knowledge of the Slaughter/Sawyer Family, which maybe going in blind may have changed my overall enjoyment of the film. However, the overly long but well crafted set up leaves eery and unsettling vibes that honestly have no payoff.
The cinematography was quite good in utilising various film techniques although sometimes used awkwardly or too many times. Otherwise, the acting was rather subpar with the last 20 minutes being pure screaming. The only time it…
