People who like this movie but hate the Marvel films are lying to themselves. This is an marvel movie, from the humor, to the formula, to the concept, it completely borrows what makes marvel special. Only thing that maybe is better, Is the filmmaking. The fight scenes are well made.

But the plot, and the concept, and the approach of the atmosphere and design. It just wasn't for me. But even the most objective things, like the plot, or the character-development, it contradicts itself.

(Now a little digression)

You don't need to tick boxes for a film to be great, most of the films that are considered as the greatest films ever made do not do this. They have an artistic approach. Film, no matter if the thematic is good or bad, should always connect with people, or inspire people, or bring people to think. There are so many things that gather my interest because of films, so many things I learned about, whether it's political, psychological, or historical, that's what film is all about and that's why I love films.

But this... I don't see what this wants to be. I don't know what the point of everything was, I thought the the mother and daughter conflict will be the heart of the film, and it would've made the film much better, but it's all thrown away for some jokes. No overall motivation for the daughter to be bad, no introduction to the concept of the multiverse, the whole multiverse is basically trapped into an bagel, and the films answer to all is, Nothing matters, Everything Matters. It tries so hard to tell so much but tells so little. Ke Huy Quan is the only one who deserved his Oscar, Michelle Yeoh's performance is in my opinion nothing special at all. What does she do, besides screaming and fighting? Nothing, she can act greatly, but the character isn't various enough to make her shine.

It frustrates me, that this is what critics call the most ambitious-work of the year. No moments that need to sink in, no moments of depth to think about, is our attention span really that short that this, THIS, is all we can settle with? With every minute so much happening, so much fighting, so much craziness, but no emotions, no feelings, nothing to gather from It. Not only from the movie's characters itself, but FROM the movie's Ideas to YOU. Films inspire and give knowledge.

Everything Everywhere all at once, is too much at once, but still says nothing. No depth in it's plot or ideas, just things... happening. For the sake of nothing.
