Exactly, I like Jackie Chan but this role was meant for Yeoh. She imparts a level of gravitas to key emotional scenes that I don't think Chan would have been able to pull off.
Let's not compare them. They are both legendary actors and Jackie would have also done a great job, I am sure. I do believe it though that the mother-daughter chemistry that Michelle brings with Stephanie Hsu is the reason why her casting was a masterstroke.
Interesting as it might be, Jamie Lee Curtis herself said everything about the sausage-hand universe, the relationship, the struggle all have been adequately expressed in about 45 seconds of screentime
Michelle Yeoh for some reason is just a fountain of wisdom, and is always so eloquent with her words. You can tell she chooses her words carefully and is a fantastic communicator.
06:30 not only did she multi the verse, she multied the verse so hard that no one will ever be able to live up to it. MCU should just pack their things and go home. The genre is finished now, she completed it.
Marvel would need the entirety of phase 5 and 6 to compete with this movie. Would be a lot of fun if at some point in the last Avengers, they reference this movie like they did with Back to the Future in Endgame.
I just watched it last night and it was a wacky ride but it made me feel everything the movie set out to do which is a fractured family coming together through the multi verse. Fantasy story told through my favorite genre: sci fi, comedy and family drama. I’m so happy JLC & MY have this incredible connection and love for each other. I absolutely did not expect this film to reach my feels like it did:) ❤
Ms. Yeoh ... I love you too. If you ever feel like letting Ms. Curtis go and accept me, I would like to live the rest of my life with you too. Just saying. I think we can make things work. What incredible women you all are, wow !!!
What a strange woman. The father Curtis I can still grasp. Bulldozer energy, which as well got extinct through age and death. But Jaime Lee is so artificial.
@@dgstamper1 I think she could be (i asume) a deeply derranged or sad or dissapointed person. But even then there is no shame to admit it and have a brief but serious interview. People appreciate more truelly heartfelt comments on work or live.
@@DanJackson1977 My nation builds machines, weapons, cars, kitchen devices and airplanes. My father, uncle and great grandfather were machine engineers. So what kind of Amish am I ? Apart from that the Amish were originally from the Netherlands. And they can build great ships. I am not Dutch. I belong to a much greater nation.
This movie could’ve been great if it just stayed as a spoof of Hollywood sci if’s and Hong Kong martial arts films, but it also tried to be meaningful about family. Too bad. If they left off the last hour and made it a shorter, tighter comedy film this would’ve been a hit.
Well if I remember right, Daniels said that this movie was ultimately a family story disguised as an action comedy. So, the choice was intentional. I’m guessing you’re not a big fan of family stories in general.
I disagree so very intensely. The whole movie _is_ a family drama, without that emotional core it has no backbone, it's just a flashy floundering pile of nothing. The central idea of family being torn apart by misunderstanding and miscommunication gives the movie all its thematic and intellectual weight
