Kodi on a Firestick.

BTW, finished the movie last night I thought it was one of the best I've seen in a long time. I can tell it will not be for everyone, though.
I watched it last night too, it was OK. It was slow, especially the first half, I dozed off and rewatched what I missed and it wasn't much. I felt they could have done more with the journey and any semblance of action would have helped. Would not watch again, just wasn't what I was expecting.

It's based on a 14th century poem, so the story is already lined out. It's not meant to be an action movie. I thought the filmmakers interpretation of the story was unique and well done.

It was. I'm really a sucker for the arthurian legend stuff too.
So am I, and I remember the trailer making it look like they took a lot of liberties with the story, like they did in 300. Judging by the trailer, I would have expected a lot of action.

I just read the Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell (he also wrote the Saxxon Stories that The Last Kingdom is based upon). I recommend them if you haven't read them yet.

I didn't watch the trailer before watching the movie. I watched the trailer a little while ago, kinda glad I didn't, I would be much more disappointed if I had. The trailer feels a little misleading after watching the movie.

Freaky with Vince Vaughn playing a serial killer who changes bodies with a petite blond teenage girl. It was amusing to watch Vaughn act like a tiny teen, but that was about it. 3/10 I would't go looking for this movie, but I didn't turn it off in disgust either. I watched to the end.

Starts slow in my opinion. The teaser and trailers kinda spoil the first 30-45 minutes. I like Awkwafina's sense of humor after seeing her in other stuff but I am not sure how receptive it will be to general audiences. She should grow on folks as the movie progresses I think.

By the END of the movie? One of the best Marvel movies in my book. Superb action/fight scenes Solid casting for all the main characters. Simu Liu will be killing it for the next few years. Michelle Yeoh is good in everything she does.

First end credits cut scene pops in about 2-3 minutes into the scroll.

Do
NOT
miss
it.

Last cut scene hits after the credits finish. I believe it is worth waiting for,

The family and I all really enjoyed it as well. Another finely crafted film by Marvel. Their formula just works.

While I liked seeing the mythical creatures, there was more of an emphasis on them than I expected. Not sure I would have done that.

Those two credit scenes gave me flashback vibes. The first to the Infinity stones part at the beginning of Infinity War. The second felt like the Book of Boba Fett at the end of The Mandolorian season 2.

And I have some questions…
