I'm convinced that anyone who is violently upset about this movie is incapable of paying attention, self reflecting, and having fun. Anyone who says it's "overhyped" must live a miserable existence, because this movie is truly a work of art.
It's smart, it's action-packed, it's dramatic, it's funny - and yes, even goofy at times. It's very rare that a film will make you cackle with laughter and cry - not because its content is devastating, but because the story itself is so beautiful, wild and relatable.
The whole cast has great comedic timing while also pulling at the heartstrings. Stephanie Hsu is simply phenomenal in her role; Michelle Yeoh provides a realistic and entertaining portrayal of a mother navigating her relationship with her daughter; Ke Huy Quan's delivery is always charming; Jamie Lee Curtis does great as a supporting actress - and special shout-out to costume designer Shirley Kurata for her incredible mind.
This movie touches on strained family dynamics, existentialism, queerness, absurdism, all wrapped up in an everything bagel. I've introduced it to different friends many times since it came out and everyone has loved it in some way or another.
So if you're one of the few who just "don't get it", maybe keep it to yourself and stick to your predictable Marvel movies.
