Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant

Yea, I still love Coulson. Nice little One-Shot that's purely Fan Service. Nice to watch but forgettable. Coulson makes it better so I think a 7/10 is alright.

I was a bit bored watching this, not going to lie. Its just a conversation that doesn't really tell you anything.

So Agent Coulson and Agent Of Shields Agent Sitwell are in a diner discussing General Ross, we have a 2 minute chat followed by some stock footage featuring Ross & Stark and the credits role.

This is a Marvel One-Shot? It serves no purpose, where is the entertainment value in this? These shorts are supposed to be tiny stories, there is no story here whatsoever.

The casts performances save it to an extent but what the hell was that meant to be?

And furthermore how did this cost half a million dollars to make? It's less than 3 minutes long and is two people chatting + already paid for stock footage. Beyond belief, I can only assume their catering was the stuff of legends.

One for Marvel obsessives and nobody else.

The Good:

Strong performances as always

The Bad:

What was that even meant to be?

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

They wanted arrogant and abrasive yet they didn't call me? Weird.

These One Shots are really fan bait. Often understated, single concept and great character pieces, these are delightful. I give this short film a 7 (delightful) out of 10. {Marvel Segue}

The Consultant is a short little film from MARVEL starring one of the best characters in the MCU - Agent Coulson. Not much to say here, since it's really short, but honestly... it's funny and smart. Nothing special, of course, but it works for the few minutes it runs, and it's somehow refreshing.

It fits nicely into Phase 1 and adds a bit of charm to the whole SHIELD side-story.

I must type another 199 characters for this review to be accepted and that's why I am writing this long nosense, because I want to publish it but it is a short film and I don't have anything else to add.

Final Score: 6/10.
