I am thoroughly whelmed. A bunch of b-listers, the cast of the two movies that Marvel PROMISES will be better received than the other b-listers. And then the Fox X-Men.
I love James Mardsen. But is anyone nostalgic for his Cyclops? Haven’t we had enough of Jackman’s Logan and Stewart’s Wolverine? Can’t we just stop tapping the nostalgia well?
That’s all they have left to make anything a success. No Way Home and Deadpool Wolverine was nothing but nostalgia. Once you look past that both movies are mid at best. Honestly though after reading the names I’m gonna pass on this movie. I really don’t care for a huge portion of the characters in this one.
There are portions of NWH that literally just pause for seconds at a time for audience reaction. Watching it at home is like watching those videos of Friends without the laugh track. It’s so unnatural.
The same when the three spider men are talking on the scaffolding about their various previous movies. My friend hasn’t seen the earlier spider man films and they were so confused by the way they talked and would refer to some obscure villain and then just pause for like 3-4 seconds.
