He has no acting range other than looking mildly confused and constipated. He made Joel Kinnaman look like an oscar caliber actor after signing up to ruin Altered Carbon. I legitimately have no idea how he's still around aside from having the look.
I don't get it either...the aforementioned Bokeem Woodbine is fukkin peak Denzel comparatively
Bokeem is actually an amazing character actor--who still hasn't gotten the caliber of roles he deserves. Meanwhile you got Mackie's stank ass single-handedly ruining entire franchises.
He never mails it in, steals scenes, and always delivered. Mackie was trying to convince us that he was captain America not because he was black...
Wackie has ZERO presence. I don't know if he is a secret psychopath incapable of displaying proper emotions or what. Chadwick had the combo of presence, talent and the looks--Majors had the same. Kang was the ONLY thing interesting going on in the marvel universe and they threw it all away for some lying CAC out for money. The writing was so fukking ass in the new antman movie and Majors was absolutely CRUSHING every scene he was in.
in the this flick, especially the front half
but none of it is believable. Just realised Seth Rollins got cut out of the film.
Excellent beer, have a few bottles myself.Lemme get my Coli Breh on for a sec.
Did anyone notice traces of
[*]Throwing the Innocent Black Man in Jail...
[*]"Son" - when I'm sure the script writers were prolly tempted to put in "Boy" (I kid...but...)
[*]Secret Service Sister constantly having "DEI" moments with Sam? (You know us folks gotta stick together) Shout out to Seth and Sydney in Severance.
[*]Joaquin being from Miami.....even though Joaquin isn't particularly Cuban.....
[*]
[*]And taking it back to the series, I mean, aside from literal high schooler Peter Parker, we never seen the money problems of the other Super Heroes....
[*]And as y'all was saying above, there's a whole lot of "I'm not the real Captain" aspect to Sam's arc that started in The Falcon/Winter Soldier, that isn't completed. Even the little pep talk he got from Bucky didn't really get him. But basically we've had about 6 episodes and a whole movie of a Black Man doubting himself, BUT STILL supporting the "Republican" power structure
[*]And how come Black Panther fans ain't come out for Sam Wilson, certified ADOS/FBA breh from Louisiana? Where was the excitement?
Otherwise
[*]Aguilar aka Latino Falcon - has zero chemistry, and his little "I always wanted to be you" speech at the end was not believable at all.
[*]They played Giancarlo. He had a few scenes of real menace in that mug.
[*]Gotta give it up to Harrison Ford, doing a lot of face acting in this. Not sure what type of Republican he was playing, but there were shades of not-Trump throughout it.
[*]The Mossad agent turned Widow - I don't understand her purpose or the amount of screen time. I mean, I get it plotwise, but this just seemed like a bad idea. And I wonder if having former Israeli spy being head of security for the president of the US was a bit too on the nose in light of recent events....
[*]Dunphy - I wanted them boys from Lioness to show up for real for real.
[*]The Leader - I guess they learned their lesson from MODOK and didn't lean into the comic book depiction. (Although I woulda had some Yakub jokes ready if they did)
Overall - It's not a bad movie. It's about middle of the pack for phase 5 (GOTG3 is easily #1 and Ant Man 3 is #5)
But this should have been a DL for me, but I gotta support.
Even got the pint glass
Nothing is worse than Thor 2, Love and Thunder or The Marvels....
