𝘌𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘴: 4/5. Not the bes

𝘌𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘴: 4/5. Not the best MCU movie but also not the worst. I’m probably being a bit more generous because I liked the cast. I actually wanted more of each character — for a movie that was 2 1/2 hours, I didn’t get to know them all as much as I wanted.⁣

I think this movie would have benefited from an MCU break after 𝘌𝘯𝘥𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 or even 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨-𝘊𝘩𝘪 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘦𝘯 𝘙𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴. Or the upcoming 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝘮𝘢𝘯! It also would have benefited from having a less world-endy plot. Every movie is so world-endy— let’s get more contained plots and villains. Like the plot here could have been about evolving Deviants, as well as their evolving relationships~

As per usz, there are mid-credit and after-credit scenes.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘒𝘯𝘪𝘨

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘒𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵: 4/5. What a beautiful and weird movie. It was very enjoyable to watch and definitely more symbolic than linear*. While I don’t fully remember the poem (the last time I read it was in college, tbh), I still got nervous toward the end about where the plot was going. However, I was mostly satisfied. ⁣

I wish it was longer.⁣

*ETA: “linear” is not the word I’m looking for here. I’ll update it when I have the word.

*ETA 2: I think “literal” is what I’m looking for here.

Going on hiatus for a bit!

Black Christmas: 3/5. A bit heavy handed on the vi

Black Christmas: 3/5. A bit heavy handed on the villainy but I liked the women working together. Pretty straight forward plot — except for one aspect, we had it figured out almost right away.

It’s an okay movie but I definitely wouldn’t waste theater money on it. I mean. I already did, but I don’t suggest it for anyone else.
Be warned that there are a few non-graphic depictions of rape and rape attempts in this movie, and rape is talked about a lot.

Jumanji: The Next Level: 3/5. If you really loved

Jumanji: The Next Level: 3/5. If you really loved Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, this movie is more of the same. It’s fun and not the worst way to spend two hours, but you could also just rewatch Welcome to the Jungle. The cast does a good job acting as their respective “players.” A lot of the jokes were a miss for me, but there was plenty to enjoy too.

Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker: 3

Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker: 3/5. This movie is about Rey and her boyfriends. It’s definitely a movie I watched. There was definitely a script that was definitely written by people.

Idk, y’all. It’s fine. It’s not bad. Some of the relationships feel like they were building on TFA since they didn’t have enough material in TLJ, and it feels a little forced. I will say this about TLJ: it did not feel like a rehash of the OG trilogy. And there’s a lot in this one that feels like a rehash. That said, there were a lot of scenes and developments and things I super enjoyed. And there’s a character that basically wears a sweater in the final act, which is a thing I’m into.

I think people will overcompensate in both loving and hating this movie.
