"…and M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense. That’s another one, it’s just got that — it’s like the otherworldly and the mundane just clash, and blend together in this way that you can’t tell where one ends and the other starts. I love that movie."

I'm not sure if I liked Old or not. I can't decide if it was objectively good. Would i watch it again, I'm not sure. Was the twist dumb or brilliant? Who the fuck knows, welcome back to the films of M. Night Shyamalan.

Okay, so not long after I posted my review of HOUSE OF M, I wanted to jump right into AVENGERS: DISASSEMBLED. I know there is a lot of haters in regard to this, and even with that knowledge, I still wanted to give it a go, especially considering how much I enjoyed my re-reading of HOUSE OF M. Man, I wish I had gone with gut instinct instead of trying to be more liberal towards comics I had previously avoided!

It's hard to believe this was written before HOUSE OF M! This is like Bendis at his worst! None of the characters are written well! Tony Stark's a ridin' the "Immma Asshole Express", while Clint Barton (Hawkeye) was written like a misogynistic asshat! And that storyline? TERRIBLE! It was like an 'Afterschool Special' (D'oh! Showin' my age with that reference!) about nihilism!

And as bad as the writing and dialogue, the art varied. Look, I love me some David Finch, but here, hmmm, not so much! The male characters seemed okay enough, but dear God, I felt like most of the female characters were drawn more like fanboy commissions rather than the actual characters!

Here's the bottom line: <b>it sucked!</b> Skip it! You can read HOUSE OF M without needing this dumpster fire! Jus' sayin..

M Train
M Train
Patti Smith | 2016 | Biography
(0 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"“M Train” will take you in and out of dreamscapes and reality and remembrances with prose so spare and matter of fact that it delivers a much bigger emotional punch. Patti Smith doesn’t need to embellish; she just tells her stories…and her stories are incredible."
