Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (****) is fantastically warped
One thing is for sure, Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is rewatchable.
Avengers: Infinity War (****) doesn’t need our opinions (spoiler free review)
#avengers #infinitywar You know what you’re getting when you walk in to the theater. This is less a (spoiler free) review than a complaint about the inevitability of it all. Still, the only way you can be disappointed is if you know how meaningless it all is…or if you think they’re never making another movie.
Wind River (****): In the battle between you and the world…
The fact that there is little mystery to the film shouldn’t matter if character and feeling are what you are seeking. The reveal at the end is less of a surprise than the action of the climax. And in typical Sheridan fashion the climax is never the conclusion of the story. Time must be taken to recover. That is time where most people live in a world without mercy.
Captain America: Civil War (*****) Goes where the Avengers cannot
The story surges ahead and it really is quite centered, despite the number of characters involved. The premise is a simple one, yet the questions it asks are profound. It really extends on the premise on how we want to be governed. Do we want to fulfill our own destiny, or do we want to push that responsibility to the side in wait of the judgement of others who may or may not be wiser.
