    I am not spending movie theater prices to give a movie a chance. That’s why I only go once or twice a year for something that is guaranteed to be good.

      The title is pretty clickbaity, she’s really commenting on people sharing opinions online about the movie without seeing it.

        That makes sense.

        The Marvels is on my watch list, so I’ll be giving it a try eventually. The slowness is more about Marvel stuff not being as entertaining for me as they used to be.

          Same. I actually just watched it recently and didn’t think it was bad. It may not have been great but I was entertained. I did also enjoy Ms. Marvel but I also think that actress just did a great job. Gave me early awkward Spider-Man discovering his powers coming of age vibes.

          I watched it, I liked it. You don’t need to have watched all the various shows beforehand, but you need to have a rough idea of who all 3 marvels are going into it.

          But it was a good movie that dealt with some difficult topics and handled them pretty well. Iman Vellani is excellent in it.

      Exactly, especially for a movie that you know will be on Disney plus soon. It costs me 3x for a movie ticket than the price of monthly Disney+

      I think the gist of the OP was that plenty of people were dunking on the movie without ever having actually seen it.
