The Matrix 1999
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
On one hand, it's a fairly standard Chosen One narrative, it feels a bit more like wish fulfillment than most Chosen One narratives, and there were some body horror scenes that . . . maybe didn't need to happen. And everyone except Tank and the Oracle kind of feels like they're really leaning into the drama a little more than they need to.
One the other hand, it's a Chosen One movie in which said Chosen One says "Heck no"…

Men in Black 1997
That was weird, but it was also pretty fun. I'd watch it again. There were some occasional cringe/secondhand embarassment moments, but I appreciate that they generally came out of J being genuinely excited or curious or wanting to help people (or occasionally the fact that he's too busy getting stuff done and thinking for himself to care about what everyone else in the room things, which I can also get behind). I liked the interactions and the banter and the idea of a world hidden behind the normal.
Oh, and there's a cute cat. I appreciate that quite a lot.

Captain Marvel 2019
ALkjflkdjflkdsjflksdjf I didn't know how much I needed this movie, but I NEEDED THIS MOVIE. The beginning was super confusing, true. But I really appreciate Carol's approach to her problems and overall style (of fighting and also of just being). She's so direct and I love her. AND THE ENDING. Not the most spectacular of climactic battles, no, but her response to the villains? Fantabulous. Iconic. She's not perfect, obviously. She makes her share of mistakes. But she's still powerful…

Ant-Man and the Wasp 2018
Yeah, it was ok. Not my favorite MCU film, but it's also not the worst. I like Scott, and I like the emphasis on family, and I like the general humor. But the stupid mistakes some of the characters make frustrate me a lot. Also, the end credits scene made me mad. :P
