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.
If I have to say something positive, I can only say: At least they're not responsible for Suicide Squad.

Paddington IV
Michael Bond wrote a fourth in this series entitled 'Paddington At Work' where Paddington learns about various occupations and how to earn some money when he needs it. He visits several locations in order to learn these lessons. Again, in reading this series of children's novels one will see that mistakes will be made but given a chance one will learn and correct what is wrong if given a chance to explain.

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.

🤣 Agreed. Although Suicide Squad is my guilty pleasure because of my crush on Margot Robbie. I still acknowledge it’s not a good film.
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.
