Marvel One-Shot: Item 47

At first I thought this was just another "ride the hype" after The Avengers production but gladly I was mistaken. The story is tight and the runtime 12 min, but I learned today that short is not always a bad thing.

The effects are cool and rates high, the acting is really good and the diversity between the persona's of the actors works in harmony. What can I say except it made my cup of coffee in the morning taste a lot better.

The only problem is how to fill 10 lines of review of a short very good movie, when there literally ain't nothing to complain about.

Two regular people, adorably out of their league, put to use a Chitauri rifle to achieve the American dream.

This is the kind of thing that basically must happen every so often in the MCU. There's no way the massive bombastic climaxes can always be cleaned up. This has amazing use of licensed music. Everyone gives a memorable performance, in addition to being written in a way that feels very natural. The tension and action are great. Running time is 8 minutes, or 11 and a half including end credits.

This is currently available on Disney Plus. I recommend it to fans of the franchise. 7/10.

*) K Reviews *) ( ( It has no relationship with the MCU but is light hearted and fun to watch. From the story point of view you can skip it but from the entertainment point of view then you should watch it.

In the aftermath of the battle of New York, Claire Weiss (Lizzy Caplan) and Bennie Pollock (Jesse Bradford) find an alien weapon and use it to rob banks. Agent Jasper Sitwell is assigned to recover it. The only disappointment comes from the fact that Lizzy Caplan never continued in the MCU. She would be hilarious while still being a compelling actress. This is a solid short.

Saw it. Liked it. So, this short got everything you can think of - effects, characters, action + charisma. The intro was quite lame, but then things started to fire up. It was pretty good. Plus, the final replica is quite funny. I let you find which it is. :)
