Just another rushed mcu series finale unfortunately.

On one hand it's really action packed, conclusive, fast paced ,... but on the other hand: Silly, absurd, rushed, cheap writing and bad cgi. Did Guardians take up all the good cgi or what's happening? Every time we watch an mcu project we have to pray and hope for decent special effects.

The fight feels really silly for me. Like someone just wrote it in last minute to have a "cool" end-battle. That's how these shows always end.

Again; not terrible, just out of tone with the rest of the series in my opinion.

We do have some answers and conclusions. Emilia Clarkes character is probably gonna be very important going forward. Don Cheadle was great as skrull Rhody and now the real one is back, it sets up nicely for Armor Wars.

I guess I'm kinda hyped for these things but hope going forward these shows with incredible potential aren't as rushed.

Before I get into spoilers, just a quick word: I love a lot of M. Night Shyamalans work. The horror, the excitement and the twist at the end always made me want to watch his movies.

However, not all of them and unfortunately I think this is his worst one.

There is a great idea there. 4 strangers have visions and they think if the family at the cabin doesn't sacrifice one of their own, the world will perish. In the beginning, it's quite interesting to see the family deal with this and how they react to that information and witness murder before their eyes. If the family doesn't sacrifice one of them in time, they start realising plagues into the world.

This is where it stops being "ok" for me. As a viewer, I started making up twists of my own. I was thinking maybe it was a suicide cult and some sort of scam to make them hurt each other. Maybe RedWood (O'Bannon) made this all up or planned this thing. Maybe one of the family members is in on it.

The movie keeps the audience (or me at least) guessing. But why? THERE IS NO TWIST.

Everything they said would happen, happend. It just makes for and ending that falls flat and made me leave the theater with a sore taste.

A positive for me is that all the actors did a great job. The kid who played Wen was amazing for her age. Once again this movie proved Dave Bautista is a great actor, he did fantastic.

The magic of the sixth sense is nowhere to be found in this movie, it's a story that' starts out mildly interesting but falls flat, way before the movie ended. Too bad.

The only thing I can say is that the action scenes are entertaining af (if you ignore everything you ever knew about the laws of nature). You've got an amazing cast with amazing chemistry and about everyone plays their roles very well.

That's about it for the good stuff..

This movie for me is an example of "if it makes money, ...". How are you gonna make Dom's motivation for everything "family" but it took 9 movies to mention his brother. That's the plot we're going with I guess.

There are a lot of inconsistencies. Lazy writing. We've got magnets tech in this film now (okay?) but it only works in ways that are convenient for the plot. Sometimes it pulls everything metal, sometimes just 1 car and ignoring everything else. It's too obvious.

Roman basicly admits they're in a movie. He literally says "how is this possible, all those insane missions, but never a scar, not even a scratch". Bruh how the writers not thinking that it makes all the action scenes pointless because there are no consequences whatsoever. Everyone lives. They all got 2-3 lives in em.

Speaking about having no actual consequences. Han is back. They create this insane story about how and why he survived, where he is, what's his motivation, where's he been and still manage to fail to explain how he actually survived that crash or how he's still alive. Was that a fake scene of him in the previous film? Because we actually see Han die. Crazy writing. Laughable. Han also says when they faked the whole thing that it's "like a magic trick". (Movie laughing at itself)

They don't pay off the tease of the rich and powerfull father of Otto.

They're in space now. Yep. Rom and Tej just fly a car with a rocket attached to it like some space shuttle and crash it into a satellite. (They survive somehow)

Look, I'm not harsh. I should be but it's a 5/10 for me. Enjoyment means a lot. I enjoy those insane over the top action scenes and funny dialogues between these characters we've know for so long. Doesn't make for a good movie, but an entertaining one? Yeah for some people.

I don't write many reviews, especially bad ones. But I'm going to make an exeption for this monstrosity of a movie.

I went to see it last night with my best mate and an hour into the film... nothing happens. You basicly get introduced to characters you allready know. This makes this movie so boring and dull. The storyline was pure dogfarts so I was waiting for some good old action. Nope. You get James McAvoy turning into the most pathetic version of the Hulk a couple of times. David Dunn is such a waste of a character in this movie. He didnt get any sort of revelation, where as Mr Glass did. But there were too many plotholes in his evil schemes. And God don't get me started on the end. They go for the "evil society" plot twist. And try to go for some millenial bs exposure on social media. When a movie is bad, the least you expect is to end on a high. But the only high was when the credits started to roll.
