So many unanswered questions. I wasn't impressed. Nollywood needs to stop this new habit of rebooting old classics as they are not there yet. All i see is packaging over substance.

Humour exists to alleviate the stress of awkwardness and tragedy, allowing us to process the negative without being crushed by it.
It’s overdone and makes sensible audiences feel the producers are afraid to tell sorrowful tales. There are many movies with ambiguous endings and people love them. Marvel has gone too commercial that they believe everyone wants a happy end. See how quick they released Endgame because they felt consumers weren’t satisfied with a sad ending.

Meh, the alternative too often becomes Snyder-esque, dwelling on tragedy and edginess, and those films are about as fun as a freshly painted house drying in the sun.

You should definitely watch Thor 3 then. It didn't end happily.

Endgame was always intended to be the conclusion of MCU Phase 3. In fact, Infinity War and Endgame were shot concurrently and released a year apart.

A balance of both styles is what I crave. Snyder’s style is the complete opposite as opposed to the only alternative.

It did with half the population of Asgardians searching for a new home safely in their ship.

I know it and didn’t need to wait so long. That’s the equivalent of Infinity War doing the snap as the post-credits scene.

a lot of folks felt they didn't do justice to the time travel aspect in Endgame. Like how's the past the future and the former present the past.

Yep, the change in fighting style adjusts to the type of individual she was engaging. If they were bigger, she went for the soft spots or use the surroundings to her benefit. I liked that she did get hurt and was not like she was superhuman. Her character just pushed through the pain and exhaustion.

Part 2 is currently in development with Netflix.

proud Mary is 2.5/10 for me.

At my age and years of levels of experience in watching movies and series, you can't give me a movie like proud Mary to watch and you expect me to even rate it 3.

like the movie doesn't just make sense at all, Taraj just acted an upgraded Nickelodeon action movie for kids.

like how would you just go in like that and kill off bunch of hit men and gang men like that without getting killed? Is not like she is a trained assassin like Jenifer Lawrence in red Sparrow or a trained international assassin like the actress in atomic blonde, is not like she is black widow or something.

Even Jenifer Lawrence with all her experience as an assassin in red Sparrow took the beating of her life and almost lost her life in the movie, now that's what we call when something is realistic.
let us not even talk about the near death experience Charlie theroz got in atomic blonde coupled with many beatings that almost disfigured her face.
Proud Mary had so many plot holes i can't even begin to count.

I just felt compelled to speak up in response to an unwarranted disparagement of one of my favorite MCU films. cheesy

Thor Ragnorok is a tragic film at its core. Loads of tragedy befell Thor, namely...

* His dad, Odin died and ascended to Valhalla
* Mjolnir was obliterated by Hela
* Many key Asgardians died
* His home, Asgard was destroyed.
* His brother, Loki died
* He lost an eye


Etc...

It's undeniably a depressing film, but the brilliance of the film is it sold you the tragedy with a smile. smiley

One can also argue that it didn't take those tragedies seriously.
Another film would have really immersed you into all those tragic events and made you feel what the protagonist was feeling too.
Not everyone wants comedy at every turn, some people actually want to feel depths of emotions while seeing it on screen.
The way it was portrayed there would make all the tragedy just fly over your head.

We watch superhero films to feel good, not to entertain suicidal and homicidal thoughts, chief. grin

Marvel doesn't want you to wallow when you could simply laugh in the face of tragedy.

But i have not said Teraji is a bad actress.
i am Just not impressed with the movie called Proud Mary but that doesn't mean teraji is a bad actress.
So are you telling me scarlet Johanson do not have any bad movie she has acted? but will the bad movie take away the fact that she is still a good actress? definitely No

Yes bro.. especially movies shot in "IMAX detail" of which a long theatrical run is main reason they bother with it.

I think it is part of the reason Christopher Nolan walked away from WB.

As fellow pirates, we just have to wait it out till "Top Gun: Maverick" is ready to sail grin
I don't know why I have zero interest in seeing Top Gun. Maybe because the first part did not interest me.

The stand you were on inkling on, on the said day was that Taraji P Henson was a better actress than Scarlett Johansson which is remotely not true.

And Taraji has a butt load of bad movies than Scarlett.
