How many end scenes are there Mirth?
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

Two. One mid-credits and one post-credits.

Just saw it, I liked it well enough. The chase through Seoul was The Money.

We can't live under the threat of a c*nt because he's threatening nuclear Armageddon.

It was, but I still had to roll my eyes just a tad because they had to shoehorn an Asian location into the film.

mirth

Yeah, because the Bond films never shoehorn in locations.

I had much less of a problem with it than I did with say in the Transformers movies.

It coulda been China, I guess. South Korea makes as much sense as anywhere else, but you know they did that on purpose to pad their numbers there. Or maybe not, what do I know.

Turns out the audience for these things is not just North America.

I was wondering why every Marvel movie needs a scene in London.

I like Martin Freeman, but it might have been better if Everett Ross was a hot Asian chick.

One of the more interesting subplots of the comics, is that Freeman's character (whose name I can't recall) ends up romantically involved with Shuri, the sassy younger sister of BP, who also (albeit temporarily) takes on the BP mantle.

The MCU usually likes to play the long game (though I think they fumbled in several ways with BP, but I appreciate the fumbles are based in fidelity to the classic roots of the character and his story -- e.g. he really shouldn't have been BP yet in Civil War). So I'm not going to be surprised if they're setting up for this down the road!

Sadly, this fellow is not wrong about the weaknesses of the film. Weaknesses which, again I'm trying to be fair, derive almost entirely from hewing too faithfully to the source material (except when it doesn't on occasion which also generates plot friction between the concepts).



I still enjoyed the spectacle. I just had to quickly stop thinking about the movie, at all.
