David McK (3676 KP) rated WandaVision in TV

Marvel's first post-snap foray into the world of television, and the first to link in inextricably with the wider MCU (unlike Agents of SHIELD, which veered off into its own thing. I - mostly - enjoyed SHIELD).

Anyway, while it's true that the early episodes here are a bit slow (and very strange), this - as a series - is worth sticking with, especially as it (apparently) leads straight into the upcoming new Doctor Strange & The Multiverse of Madness movie.

"Sweating it out in the former Belgian Congo as a civil war mercenary, with Sparks turning wrenches on his T-6 Texan, Hawk splits his time flying combat missions and, back on the ground, sparring with Ella, an attractive young missionary doctor, in the sequel to My Brother’s Keeper."

"This delicious novel is part war story, part love story. Set in the beginning of World War II, it tells the story of Italian Captain Antonio Corelli of Mussolini’s Army as they invaded Greece. On the island lives Pelagia, the daughter of a Greek doctor with whom Captain Corelli begins an affair, despite her engagement to a fisherman who is headed to join Greek forces. It is one of the most beautifully written books I’ve ever read."

"An example of masterful storytelling that fascinated me growing up. I identified with Kim, the orphaned son of an Irish soldier, because we were both children of the army; my father was an army doctor who had served under Lord Mountbatten. On rereading, the setting of the Afghan Wars in the late Victorian era has chilling implications for today. The book is also a reminder that Kipling’s colonialist perspective didn’t blind him to the teeming human drama of India."

After watching the sequel Sunday night thought I would go back and watch the first one again I liked the first time benedict cumberbatch plays the title character very well with support from an excellent cast. The visual effects are so good and there's mads mikkelsen who is forever type casted as the villain but plays it so well anyway good first but the sequel is now my favourite doctor strange movie
