Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
I had a dream
Sometimes people can believe so passionately in a vision that their beliefs extend to, or are supported by, others.
The risk to the others is that their belief is not in the vision but the individual with the vision, so if the vision is fundamentally flawed, or they are unable to execute the vision, that impacts all of them.
This is perhaps what has occurred here.
Thor: Love and Thunder is an extraordinarily disappointing addition to the MCU catalogue. And I see that this as an ardent fan of the series.
It is a movie which fails to achieve objectives of humour (there are some very brief moments of comic relief), emotion, connection...
It may become perhaps one of the films many of the actors will add to the list of films they regret contributing to as they reflect back on their careers in time.
Stowaway (2021)
Not even just to fill in time
Sometimes you're reasonably certain a movie is not going to be amazing, but you figure if you set your expectations low, it won't be so bad.
It's the sort of movie you keep in your back pocket when you want some quiet time at your mother-in-law's house, so you put it on and thirty minutes in your MIL has gone to bed and the movie, while not great, was worth the watch to give you the peace and quiet you were looking for.
Not this.
Honestly, I would have rather spent a week in lock down with my MIL than watch whatever this was.
Predictable, confused and the acting talent of a teaspoon (though at least a teaspoon has one job and does it well).
The following does not qualify as a spoiler, as nothing could spoil this further than it emerged off the cutting room floor.
There's a scene where a couple of bad guys are attempting to break into a safe with a battery powered drill (okay!?!), and during said safe cracking, twenty meters away our heroine tip toes up the staircase. Bad guy, sitting right next to the drill drilling into hardened steel stops: "I think I heard something..."
Moments later, they attempt to crack a sophisticated biometric lock using ... Windows Update.
