<PERSON> and <PERSON>
Finally got around to watch this one.
Another fun and entertaining entry in the Marvel saga.
It's a great origin story to a lesser known hero. This might be one of the best introduction films in the MCU, it doesn't take the same formulaic approach like for example Doctor Strange. And with the character, we're once again introduced to a whole other side of the MCU, featuring al kinds of magical creatures apparently.
<PERSON> is beyond great and a worthy addition to the roster of heroes. Actually I have lot of praise for the casting. <PERSON> delivers a great performance and lucky for her the role kinda breaks the typical comic relief side character trope.
Unlike most marvel movies, they managed to add an interesting villain, with an amazing performance by tony <PERSON>. 217
His relationship with the hero is one we haven't really seen yet.
The action of course is another highlight. The great choreography is complimented by excellent camera work, choosing for a lot of wide shots and not use any shaky footage. That is when it doesn't rely to much on CGI.
Like in the third act, where at one point it just becomes an animated movie. But it delivers lot of unexpected spectacle that I quite enjoyed.
It has some pacing issues and over relies on cgi, as we are used to from most blockbusters.
But the casting, action and music makes this one a really enjoyable movie. One I probably will watch a few times more. 583
