If you are a fan of sci-fi you need to watch the new Dune. The first installment came out in 2021 and is a great movie with the second installment due to release in November of 2023.
This version fixes the pacing of the original and does a better job of showing what is happening instead of narrating the story for the viewer.
This movie was an ok sci-fi movie but a pretty bad Star Wars movie. If this had been some movie that never mentioned concepts from Star Wars I don’t think it would have been bad, and the entire movie felt like it was written in complete isolation from whatever came before.
I finally had the opportunity to re-watch Avengers Endgame. I was sick the night I went to watch it the first time and really didn't get to enjoy the movie as much as I would have liked. Between that, work, and family I haven't really had a chance to sit down and put together my thoughts about the movie until now.
Endgame was pretty good and definitely worth watching, especially if you have seen the other movies leading up to this. The send offs for the characters that they already knew wouldn't be coming back wer done well and managed to not feel overly forced into the plot.
Wanted to get some rambling thoughts out ow the way before I head to watch Endgame Tuesday.
Shazam! turned out to be a worthwhile movie for the family as long as the under 13s are left at home.
Captain Marvel is a decent movie, could have been better, not nearly as political as I expected, and is a fun movie to watch if you approach it with an open mind and few expectations. If you watch it expecting to see an awesome movie, you'll end up somewhat disappointed. If you watch it expecting a feminist empowerment movie, you'll get what you expect. If you watch it expecting to see a "Mary Sue" Marvel hero, you'll get what you expect. But watch it with an open mind and lay aside your expectations and you'll get a couple of hours of enjoyment.
