The Western of the 21st century. Algorithmic, overdone, relying on star power for big box office boosts. I hate to say it, actually, just kidding, I don't: Martin Scorsese is right.

Ashley Lima
I think about writing more than I write, but call myself a writer as opposed to a thinker.

haha. Well done.
I'm not a fan of superheroes stuff. So yea, I do feel they're overrated at times. Excellent review!
FELT this! Brilliant critique!
😅 Suicide Squad was terrible. I don't think I even made it through the whole thing. On the other hand, I love Marvel and sci-fi in general. Just give em another chance, please! 😂🍻 Nice review, Ashley.
Most of the new ones are all CGI. I liked Guardians of the Galaxy 2, but hesitant to see the 3rd
Totally agree. Not to say I'm never entertained by them, but I think they could do so much better and it's a bummer it feels like they don't care to try.
great critique
I feel I might be saying this more to those who might flood the comments with reasons the MCU is amazing, but remember everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Not everyone is going to enjoy the same things you do and that is fine. That said, even as huge fan, the MCU is not perfect and there are some movies I don't enjoy. And I definitely have to agree with the last part, that first Suicide Squad was bad.
Although I enjoy the earlier Marvel movies, you're dead on right about the later ones.
