The Andromeda Strain (1971). When I was a kid, this movie scared the sh... scared me a lot and I could not sleep for days. I have not seen this in decades, I was wondering how it compares to the memories. Sadly, Prime only has the dubbed version, oh well, it will do...

Finally finished watching captain marvel.........in the bottom half of marvel movies.......it’s ok but she’s such a boring character
MCU have sidelined most of the female hero’s and picked the dullest to give their own movie too.......
Not awful, but like endgame, did not live up to the hype......
2019 is shaping up to be the year of underwhelming movies

Spiderman Far From Home. Standard superhero stuff. As with the previous film it has a great idea but totally wastes it. Also too much banging on about Iron Man & I hate Spider-Man's Iron Man tech.

There's a lot of character to her but when Carol's shoved into being a mostly emotionless soldier who "needs to control herself" for the vast majority of the movie, she's not going to appear the most interesting. But yes, I believe that MCU is almost stupid with their missing the forest for the trees sometimes. Sidelining Wanda and Natasha and killing off Pietro and Loki might be some of the worst mistakes made in the MCU.

Loki is dead. He died before the Snap, so the de-Snappening didn't revive him.

Honestly, the MCU's track record for woman hasn't been that good, both Cpt Marvel and Black widow have been emotionally closed off and ciphers for most of their screen time. Hardened characters like these aren't fun to watch, they come out as flat and cardboard. I really hope that captain marvel embraces her human side more as her story progresses in the MCU, otherwise I won't be watching her movies.

You could make the same 'cipher for events' argument about Captain America, and he's pretty universally beloved. And you could make the 'hardened characters' argument about Nick Fury and the Punisher, and people love them too. So why is it "flat and cardboard" for the ladies?

Black Widow and Captain Marvel are a good example for me. Black Widow is actually interesting to watch, due to the performance, yet I can't get on board with Captain Marvel, as Brie Larson just isn't well cast in the role. So it all depends on the performance, not the character being closed off or hardened.

And you could make the 'hardened characters' argument about Nick Fury and the Punisher, and people love them too. So why is it "flat and cardboard" for the ladies? I meant cipher in the sense that we still don’t know much about black widow in comparison to the other avengers. She was a super spy yes, but aside from that, who is she? I do hope that her movie rectifies this as I would like to get a better idea of who she is as a person. As for cptn America, we got to follow his journey right from the start, from frail wimp to the leader he became. We don’t get to see that journey for widow or Carol (yet, I hope to see her character grow and thrive in the Mcu) As for fury and the punisher, honestly I’d say fury is more plot device than character at this point. He appears to give the plot a kick in the rear to get it going when he needs to. The punisher on the other hand, I’ve never been a fan of the character. For someone like him, I hate the message he sends as a character about rule of law. I’ve no interest in his books movies or tv shows.

Ah, but see that's what I'm getting at. The complaint (and by no means is it limited to this thread, I've seen it all over the place) is about her CHARACTER. The exact same 'hardened character' is the defining trait of both Fury and Punisher, but here you've pivoted to plot rather than characterization, that they're 'hardened characters' but it's mitigated by their having a plot element. I just don't see how that's any different than Carol Danvers. She's also 'hardened,' but that's very much built into the plot--she's that way because she's had the brutal Kree warrior training, and just starting to rediscover her humanity by the end of her movie--and then in Endgame, her showing in the film is largely as a plot catalyst--which is exactly how you describe Fury's role. I'm not insisting that you must like this or else! or anything silly like that. Of course, like or dislike as the feeling takes you! Everyone's entitled to an opinion I just find it a bit puzzling that people (widespread, not just either of you!) are making complaints about the female characters that can be equally leveled against male characters who are not subject to the same sort of criticism.

Midsommar Fantastic Slowburn Psychological Folklore Horror. I really enjoyed it and yes there was some uncomfortable laughter from people during a couple of scenes, but otherwise its a great film. But if you didnt like Hereditary you wont like this

Daughter Of The Wolf, it was ok but Gina Carano (who i have a massive crush on) deserves to be in much better action movies.
