“People playing around in the rubble of avengers endgame” is a lovely little bit of poetry tbh
-
The post-credit scene where the portal opened and Mark Kermode stepped through left me shook
-
Simon Mayo's response on hearing "multiverse" exactly mirrors my own whenever I hear that word
-
"it's not awful'' - get that on the poster ASAP
-
My son works at our local cinema, the midnight opening showing had to be paused before it began due to the unprecedented volume of punters....this will make a lot of money.
-
The next multiverse film should have a cameo from an actual screenwriter
-
7:42 we get a "here's A thing", not the official "here's THE thing"...
-
It’s a great point that the film is literally characters picking through the bones and scraps of the superhero genre. Much more a final eulogy for the MCU than any great reinvigoration.
-
Problem is that, for all the sweary jokes, the humour is utterly toothless. Surface-level self-referential punchlines with no bite. “Ooh, look at us, we’re poking fun at Kevin Feige!” — yeah, with jokes he’ll have approved himself. Crack a few laughs at the various X-Men films — but mention, say, Brett Ratner or Bryan Singer? No, of course they don’t, they wouldn’t touch that with a ten-foot barge pole. A hollow shell of the punky anarchic rebellious character Deadpool is supposed to be.

They had a blooming film called Endgame! It was a critical and commercial success, it successfully closed out a huge unweildy narrative, gave a nice ending for Evans and Downey Junior and.... and.... it was called Endgame! You had the chance to end things with everyone feeling positive about the MCU, but the Fantasia brooms can't be stopped
-
I enjoyed the movie. The jokes got a bit much at times but overall entertaining.
-
I wanted Lieve Schriber back
-
3:01 Simon's reaction is my reaction to the movie
-
What a surprise . It’s about the Multiverse . AGAIN
-
The comparison to Kick Ass was like a wake up call. “Oh yeah, actually this schtick is pretty poor compared to that.”
-
They shut down filming really soon after they began because of the writers strike and it’s so obvious that when they picked up the filming again they didn’t have time to do any rewrites so that they could meet the pre determined release date!
-
It has it's moments. But picking up scraps after Endgame is very accurate. Marvels biggest power is cameos and that is their biggest selling point forward. The only multiverse movie I still want to see is Beyond the spider-verse. After that it's more then enough for me at least.
-
Even Bob Hope and Bing Crosby made fun of the “Road to …” movies in their films and broke the fourth wall to reference Hollywood.
-
I look forward to Mark and Simon still having to do this when they're in their eighties.
-
The film calls more to the early 'forgotten' film characters, X-Men, Blade etc. there was less Avengers MCU. Hugh Jackman was really good, It's an enjoyable film, I'm taking it much less seriously than others.
