Being without Disney+ currently means I have to forego the main Marvel superhero movies and settle for Spider-Man films on other channels.
Spider-Man is a teenager, invented to annoy Sixty-odd year olds like me, but needs must. I miss my Marvel heroes like Iron Man and Thor so much I'll take a bit of webbing.
This week I braved Spider-Man No Way Home. It was a test of my nerves in the face of so much adolescent angst and chaos. I only just survived, largely saved by two cameo actors, the chap that plays Dr. Strange, who I find interesting and the very first young actor who played Spider-Man 15 years ago, the best of the crop of three webslingers since then.
No Way Home isn't something I can rave about but it gave me just enough Stan to reboot my flagging Lee.
I'll try the sequel or prequel next.
Do you like the Spider-Man movies?
As has been commented elsewhere, watching Marvel movies has become like doing Homework and just as onerous!
ReplyDeleteI watched The Marvels and was at a total loss as what the set up was.
What was Nick Fury doing on a space station?
The last time I saw him, he was taking a well earned retirement off the grid, having stopped a couple of clips of machine gun bullets (luckily non fatally!)
Silly Looey, you don't have Disney +, so you haven't been watching Ms Marvel!
Having said that, I liked the way Dr.Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was bookended by No Way Home.
But I am a little troubled that the good Doctor was last seen on a pedestrian crossing screaming because a third eye had just opened up on his forehead.
...since then, nothing. Maybe he just took up stamp collecting..
Ha ha, the ups and downs of a Marvel movie fan Looey. The highs, think of Iron Man and the lows, think of Thor: Love and Thunder. It's a white knuckle ride for sure!
DeleteProud to say I’ve never visited the “Marvel Universe”, and never will. Comic Book Movies are about at the bottom of my list.
ReplyDeletePlus, we boycott Disney on general principle. A good brand,, taken over by the forces of darkness.
