744390, It was clunky and bad: SPOLIERS
Posted by handle, Mon May-09-22 10:47 AM
Rented a theater and had 15 people (all covid tested) come.

The "action" is the film was driven by boring, clunky exposition. For all of the action I felt very little.

I cared about none of the characters that were introduced.

The Dark Hold was not given nearly enough buildup to make Wanda's motivations.

We learn almost nothing about America Chavez.

Why can Wanda kill a 1000 people at once, but can't remove the powers from jean-jacket girl for 15-20 minutes?

Professor X standing up and tugging on her arm was LAME.

Reed Richards saying "Be careful Black Bolt could kill you!" instead of just killing her was lame. Alt Christine was lame.

Why at the end of Wanda vision she hears her kids calling for her? I thought that might be tied into Shang Chai - but it wasn't.

Charlize Theron opening the dark dimension might be fun - but that was just so clunky the way it was done.

The good:
Liked some of Raimi stuff.
Some visuals were great.
Wong showing up in the opening scene was cool.
Bruce Campbell's back in the MCU.


I paid $200 for the theater, made arrangements with over a dozen people and I still couldn't like the movie much.

I didn't hate it.
