👋 👋 👋 (“disney-fied” but unabashedly everything i think i need right now!)

Completely and utterly flabbergasted on how much I loved this, but I should’ve never underestimated it in the first place with Gerwig at the wheel. One of the types of movies that I could probably go back to any day of the week, not think too hard, and just have a blast watching. A lightning in a bottle film, and I truly, truly mean that. Margot + Ryan = cinematic perfection.
When you think the world has already got practically peak animation, comic book filmmaking and Spider-Man all in one back in 2018… can’t believe I’m saying it, but this might have sured the original.
Bigger and bolder in every conceivable way, yet I think they manage to pull off every single punch they make. Don’t really have the words to describe how happy and strangely invincible this film made me feel, but if there was ever a movie that needs to be seen to be believed - it has to be this one.
The third act 😶
Takes the focused story-telling of the original, expansive world-building and lore of the second, and truly breathtaking fight choreography and set pieces of its predecessor to yes… it’s true… create one of the greatest action films ever put to screen (at least from what I’ve seen). This is a behemoth of a picture, yet it never crumbles beneath its own weight and earns it’s nearly 3 hour runtime. I could go on and on about how stunning this is visually…
Wow. Jonny boy’s outdone himself. So many emotions ran through me watching this thing, and all I can say is the damn hype paid off. Insanely enjoyable, surprisingly gritty at times, and packing one hell of an emotional punch. I was considering only giving this 3.5 stars since it does get somewhat convoluted around the 2nd act, but my experience watching it was filled with so much joy that I just had to add an extra-half star. A near-perfect blockbuster!
