The Marvels (2023)
Marvel Plays It Safe
This movie is the MCU equivalent to Fast X. You know what you're getting, nothing more. I was surprised given the talent behind the scenes that it didnt dare to do more, especially given the premise was such a unique fun concept. Its about as MCU formulaic as you get. But its truly better than Ant-Man Quantumania which was abismal.
Pros- the cast is charming, the film is paced pretty well, great production. No glaringly bad cgi
Cons- Another Awful MCU villian to add to the list. Some woodened acting, confusing plot at times with some head scratching story choices.
Overall if your an MCU fan, I dont think youll be disappointed unless you want marvel to change the formula.
Glass (2019)
Worth the 20 year wait
I felt compelled to write a review due to the unfavorable critic reviews. First things first, Unbreakable is one of my favorite fims. When I found out Shyamalan was making a sequel, i slapped my face. I honestly didnt want to see it since it would probably ruin the experience of the first (still never saw dumb and dumber too). Shyamalan has made one good, not great film in a decade (split). Bruce Willis's acting has been down right embarrassing in recent years. Notably taking films just for a paycheck. Glass seemed like a trainwreck waiting to happen (pun very much intended).
I got to see the movie for free. I went in with the lowest expectations. I hadnt seen any trailers, bc i was that scared of how the movie would turn out. I'm absolutely shocked. Not only is it a true return to form for shyamalan in terms of direction, but its brilliantly written and paced. The score is beautiful. The acting mezmerizing for all its leads including the always solid Paulson. It stays true to both of its first films while carefully doing a balancing act as a sequel to both.
I was 13 when unbreakable came out. I didnt know anything about it going in. Id only seen the poster. It blew me away. Its always been one of my favorite films. I wrote this review to personally thank Shyamalan. Please know you have fans out there who really love and grew up with ypur films. Thank you for putting your full effort into this. It shows on screen.
Now please do not take this as permission to make a 6th sense sequel.
