Moustache Lockdown Streaming Survival Guide Part 13 | WandaVision

Finally the roll out of Phase 4 of the MCU has begun, but not as originally planned. The first to arrive is one of Marvel's new streaming shows - and not the one they planned to debut first. The first two episodes of WandaVision are here, it's the first major Marvel property to be released since Spider-Man: Far From Home back in 2019, and the mysterious show is putting a strange new spin on the Marvel Universe. The MCU is back!

After the events of Avengers: Endgame, it is unknown what has happened to Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). Now we see her living with Vision (Paul Bettany) as a married couple in the suburbs. The only problem is their new life together seems to be a TV show, one resembling classic American sitcoms. And someone is watching. But will they be able to figure out what's going on before it's too late, and more importantly... will they want to?

Of all the new Marvel TV shows that are slated to arrive over the next year or so, WandaVision is definitely one of the strangest - it may even link into "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness". This is something very new for the MCU, and it's mysterious nature only makes it more gripping. "What the hell is going on?" is a question that may come up on a regular basis. There are a few hints at who may be involved - some more sinister than others - but after the first two episodes it's anybody's guess. Could it be someone is looking to exploit Wanda and her abilities? Maybe the loss of Vision in the Battle of Wakanda was too painful for her, and she lost control, meaning she had to be contained. Or more scarily, did she do this to herself to avoid dealing with her grief? As Loki once said; "I like this game!"

Even without the mystery behind it, WandaVision is a lot of fun. Those who aren't fans of sitcoms may even find themselves drawn into this retro sitcom delight. Olsen and Bettany are fantastic together, they have managed to embrace this new style of acting without losing what made their characters so enjoyable in the first place. The guys at Marvel have gone all out - as they always do - to bring this curious new world to life. Right now it's almost as if Wanda and Vision have been put into Witness Protection, and they're trying to adapt to their new lives, whilst also trying to hide their superpowers. It's a superhero story wrapped in a mystery thriller, wrapped in a sitcom, each layer as interesting and fun as the others. Throw in the hilarious Kathryn Hahn as the nosy neighbour, Agnes, and so far you've got yourself a surprisingly accurate view of life in the suburbs.

Questions have been raised as to where the Marvel Cinematic Universe is headed after the end of Phase 3. For a while now the new TV shows have been the answer to those questions, an exciting new approach for the Marvel Universe. Not to mention something to look forward to, especially with all of the delayed cinematic releases. Well WandaVision is here, and it doesn't disappoint. It's as fun as it is intriguing. Right now I have no idea what is going on with Wanda or Vision, or the strange new world in which they find themselves, and I'm loving it.

WandaVision is available to stream on Disney+.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning | Average Guy Movie Review

Two months after acquiring both halves of the cruciform key, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is ready to put an end to the Entity, once and for all. However, in that time the rogue A.I. has increased its stranglehold on cyber space and the planet. Spreading lies and misinformation, the people of the world are divided more than ever, and governments are on high alert. All of which should make it rather difficult, maybe even impossible for Ethan and his team to find a sunken Russian submarine and, use whatever they find there to kill the artificial intelligence that's slowly taking control of the world's nuclear arsenals. It is entirely possible that Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning could be the most anxiety inducing instalment of the franchise - the second half, anyway. Once again, Tom Cruise puts himself through the absolutely ludicrous in the name of entertainment... and a possible adrenaline addiction. Every scenario in which Ethan and the gang find themselves seems to be d...

Jason Bourne: Spoiler Review

I don't usually write spoiler filled reviews because I don't see the point. But considering my not so positive review of Jason Bourne, one of the most highly anticipated movies of Summer 2016, I thought it might be worth trying to explain why I reached the verdict I did. If you haven't seen this movie stop reading because there are spoilers ahead. Click here to see the spoiler free review. The movie begins with Bourne in Greece. He's laying low, making money by competing in underground fights and still struggling with his past. He lacks purpose which is making him miserable. Nicky Parsons on the other hand is busy hacking the CIA in order to expose their black ops programs. So far so good. But when Nicky finds something out about Jason's (or should I say David's) past, she heads to Greece to find him. Unfortunately her activities have drawn the attention of CIA Agent Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander), a cyber ops specialist who begins to track her. Using a ...

4DX – Is it worth it or just a gimmick?

Having watched the promo video what do you think? This week I saw Ghostbusters in 4DX and it definitely made the movie more of a ride. In fact 4DX feels like it was designed to appeal to the roller coaster crowd but will you miss the experience when watching the same movies at home? When I saw Ghostbusters for the second time I decided to view it in 4DX because I wanted to know what the "environmental effects" did for the movie going experience. If you want to know what I thought of Ghostbusters check out my Average Guy Movie Review . In my honest opinion; right now 4DX is more of a gimmick than an experience. The movement, air bursts, smoke and spraying water were more of a distraction than anything else, all of which felt out of sink with the movie. The effects like the strobe lights went off a split second before whatever they were supposed to augment happened. For example; during a subway scene, the Ghostbusters find a ghost in the tunnel who had been executed u...
