Broadening the scope of the universe to massive proportion with beautiful visuals and philosophical themes, this superhero story’s character development does well at building up each of the many new stars.
Taking traditional elements like a shoot-em-up, smoking gunshots, split screens, and deep zooms but using them in a modern way, felt strangely imaginative and brought new life to an often repetitive genre.
It may be called The French Dispatch, but this film is a Russian doll of storytelling with its story-within-a-story-within-a-story structure.

It’s a simple enough premise, but what is done within the timeframe of this film honestly made for some of the most thrilling, intense, fully consuming work I’ve ever seen.
