Sadly - A Misfire

[abfabwords · 2/10 · 22 October 2023]

I wanted this to work. I saw the reviews and the box office wasn't great for them. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. I LOVE Paul Rudd's work, truly. (See him in Murders in the Building this last season - so much fun) I couldn't even make it thru the first quarter of the movie. I kept trying to see - what's the problem? I think too many writer/chefs in the kitchen was the problem? The writing wasn't great. The arc of the story wasn't great. It seemed forced. And, the plot - well, just wasn't sustinable. Maybe the movie gets better? I couldn't do it, so I don't know! I make myself a promise now - if they don't 'have me' by 20 mins in, at least enuf to see what happens - I turn it off. Better faire is to be had, so much good and great content out there streaming. Maybe, as is the case, it was how it was edited and maybe the Director didn't have enuf input to make a tight pic. It wasn't your normal Marvel superhero fast moving and well done movie. They needed Taika to direct this one. '-) His Thor, just wow. I don't fault the actors, they gave okay enough performances. Some mis-casts I thought. It's tough when the script isn't great. It just is. I can't recommend even trying this movie. Not even for the Paul Rudd factor.
