Review of Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva (2022) by The_Laggy_One — 07 Nov 2022

The movie itself was fine, the acting from the villain was not great, and for all the praise ive heard for the vfx, they were bad, like - congrats you did particle effects well, so did infamous second son, a game from 2013 which had to do those effects 30 times per second in real time. I will say the vfx are good when the vfx is as good as iron man (2008).

Plot wise. Im going to be comparing to the mcu as brahmastra is supposed to be the begining of a new cinematic universe. They only say that it is, the world ending stakes are way too high for a starting, and they treat the ending as if its the conclusion after years of build up. Like imagine if thanos was defeated by the avengers in the first iron man movie and the last line was "we have won the fight". There would be no point in the mcu! Thats my main issue with this movie. If you want to watch it, im not stopping you.
