Kind of makes sense though because, based on the trailer, it looks like Soldado is shedding its small scale indie roots and going in a Micheal Bay-lite action direction with Benicio del Toro starting an ill-advised war with the Mexican government. I'm sure it'll do okay for itself and improve on Sicaro's modest success, can't see it turning into a break out smash hit... But enough about that nonsense, let's get to the real story here: what a Summer for Josh Brolin! He gets to chew scenery and steal scenes as the ultra intimidating super villain in TWO of what will be the most successful comic book movies ever only two weeks apart, then a mere month later here he is lighting up the screen with another juicy villainous role. He'll never have to worry about money again, and good for him; now he just needs an Oscar statue to go along with his Scrooge McDuck vault.

(Well, not new, she was in the last movie already, but now she gets to wear a bumblebee suit and shrink and talk to bugs or whatever.) Okay so Ant-Man is the lowest of the low tier when it comes to super heroes, but Paul Rudd is great in the role and somehow even joke characters can turn Disney shareholders into mega millionaires thanks to the far reaching appeal of the MCU. I'm thinking audiences are going to leave Infinity War newly reenergized about this universe and the high tide will raise all ships, lifting even the least consequential of their 20 shared-world movies to new heights. And I'll be right there to get in on the fun on opening week!

Someone musta forgot about THE ROCK. His track record of success is actually even more unbelievable considering he makes twice as many movies as Melissa and somehow every second one explodes as a mega-hit, like Jumani did earlier this year. In any case Skyscraper is, well... 99% just the original Die Hard, with Rock in the Bruce Willis role. Will that be enough to make it a show-stopping blockbuster? Probably. Will it be enough to get me to the theater on opening weekend? HECK yes! Now if you'll excuse me I have to cut this review short and see Rampage instead.
