Ant-Man & Wasp Hit Big

New Live show on MNN hosted by Mark on July 14. Lots of reviews and Con coverage.

Mini-Reviews:
Ant-Man & Wasp: 3, Great SFX with lots of action to boot as set pieces but story itself is so Meh.
Sicario 2: 2, Didn't like the first one, didn't like this one. Great acting, boring script.
Gotti: 3, Travolta nails it for a Golden Globe but this deserves 3 hours on Netflix and not so rushed.

What we don't need is another joker movie. They didn't get him right with Leno and now this? And Leno is still doing another one. The story is from The Killing Joke and I hated that movie. Last but not least talk about miscasting. Ok I'm done.

Compare to other Marvel titles this should have done better, but since nobody was actually asking for this, it's lucky it made what it did. But this will die quick since July does have Johnson and Cruise to contend with. And internationally? Well.......

Wow, reeks of desperation. Way too late to save the trilogy that it won't matter. But it should be a cool cameo. Yep, cameo. Did anyone see him on Dancing with the Stars last year? He could barely stand up never mind trying to dance. Cue oxygen tank off screen. So KK still got a job? I'm surprised lol.

There goes re-doing that third act gig again. Does anyone read these scripts? The more I hear about this movie the more disappointing it sounds like. They never got any of these right since the original even tho A vs P was the closest to the Dark Horse comics version. But that screamed of a budget of $150M at that time and was never made. So we got the watered down PG version of it.

This and Avengers are the big titles to look forward to. Lots of great material here and hopefully Avengers not only have the extra footage but have a commentary with some of the actors included. Reynold did a great commentary on the first DP, which should set an example for the producers of Avengers to follow.
