Dumb but mostly entertaining if you ignore the implausibility and plot holes.

Currently watching Mobland and really enjoying it - Then thereās Havoc, now this is quite another matter - Shallow / improbable / nonsensical / 0.5D / predictable - To say shit would be an insult to manure.
And then thereās the faux film grain to make it more rough and ready.
It was passable as an action blitz, but completely devoid of sense.
The action blitz was every cliche done twice. Why use good actors? It was almost as if the film was designed to troll them
Quite good.
The Residence:
Mrs MWSās weapon of choice for the last week - Braced for conniption, I was robbed of the oportunity. Thereās hints of every who dun it in this show but it hangs together, carried in no small part by humor and great cast. IMDB give it 7.8 probably a 7.3

I was hearing today that Timothy Chalamet is doing a set as Bob on the acoustic stage at Glastonbury this year.
It will be delicious if he breaks into Like a Rolling Stone or Maggieās Farm at some point

I want my local cinema to stay open. But it does show a lot of shooting/running/screaming movies. And kidsā stuff of course.
Next week it (still) has
and last Sundayās paper said itās a cut above average. Iām thinking of going.
Iāve never watched any of the Marvel flicks. Not one. So
i) Will any of this one make sense ?
ii) If not then which* of them should I watch beforehand to get me at least some way up the learning curve ?
iii) Or should I just spend half an hour with this ?
*Short for āwhich one or, at most, twoā - I donāt have a whole lot of time.
It got absolutely panned?
You donāt need any history. The Easter eggs and references are mainly for the geeks.
Is that a question Steve ?

As I say, Iāve seen not one of them. I wouldnāt be at all surprised if folks whoāve seen every single one hated this one because of inconsistencies with previous, or characters seeming to take the piss, or there not being enough explosions, or whatever. Iām probably going to judge the whole franchise on the basis of just this one (maybe just this half if itās really unbearable). I just want to know if it would be like walking cold into LOTR 3 i.e. probably better to watch 1 and 2 first.
Iāve just seen the spread of reviews. I saw one at 40% and it was unequivocal in its damnation.
There does seem to be a lot more favourable.
My opinion: I really enjoy the series as a whole. Well cast, paced, and often funny. When they miss, they tend to miss hard as poor action/comedy is hard to recover.
I donāt think you need to see any film at all as this is NOT the Avengers, and mainly new faces. In summary, lots of bad people tried bad things and usually the good lot won. Some died in the process.
Sure it stands alone.

There was something I saw about it now having a different title because itās basically a New Avengers origin story.
Not that that means anything to me as I donāt think Iāve seen any New Avengers films.
Go & see Sinners instead
