A good movie

I already saw this movie but since I just bought a brand new awesome TV, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, I’m really glad I watched it again since I was much more able to enjoy it the 2nd time around. Eventually, I understand why it was such a massive box-office success when it was released and, after all, it is easily the best MCU instalment released during the Phase 4. Indeed, I liked the direct link with the previous movie (and even more the links with all the previous Spider-Man installments) and the fact that Peter Parker wanted to get back his anonymity wasn’t a bad idea at all. In fact, I think the main issue was actually Doctor Strange. Indeed, the guy is such a mighty wizard that he can do pretty much whatever he wants with some fancy spell done in a few minutes. As a result, even though the idea of Peter Parker facing some existential crisis was really interesting, it was undone by a seemingly simple magic trick which drastically lowered the stakes. Still, it was definitely really neat to see them bringing back all these characters from the previous Spider-Man movies. Furthermore, of course, I was pretty obvious that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would show up but I thought they would come up just for only a quick scene but I didn’t expect them to get so involved which was really cool. Finally, this movie probably had the most disappointing end-credit scenes I have seen so far in the MCU. Indeed, the first one pretty much cancelled the entrance of Eddie Brock in the MCU which was announced only a couple of months ago in ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’. Sure, Venom might show up eventually but it will be in a different form and Brock, especially Tom Hardy, will be terribly missed. However, the 2nd scene was actually even more disappointing though. Indeed, it was pretty obvious that this movie would be linked to the next Doctor Strange sequel but, instead of giving us a nice little scene bridging the two movies, they gave us an actual trailer for ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ which was just so lame and lazy. Anyway, to conclude, even if I’m still not sure if it was really amazing, the damned thing was still seriously entertaining and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
