Wow! Such a good movie.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
I haven't gotten round to watching the Agent Carter television series yet and truth be told have rather low expectations for it. This Marvel One-Shot has done nothing to change this.While the male agents leave her behind to wrap things up Agent Peggy Carter gets a call about a case and decides to break protocol to go it alone. Featuring the always excellent Bradley Whitford as her less than bareable boss and Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark this is a distinctly average short and a bit of a weak link in Marvels almost flawless chain.Atwell is uninspired, the plot is generic and though it solidly feels like an addition to the incredible marvel universe it brings nothing note worthy to it.The Good:Bradley WhitfordContinuityThe Bad:Instantly forgettable stuffThings I Learnt From This Short:I'm really not going to like Agent Carter am I?
After viewing every Marvel One Shot movie this one I have to say that Marvel One Shot: Agent Carter is my favorite one.It features Hayley Atwell reprising her role as Peggy Carter in her first solo film. This is a short movie that comes with the Blu ray edition of Iron Man 3.The plot for this film is simple but works of Peggy as we see her grow as far as a character goesNow the writing for this one is very good and so fun one-liners. The music in the film is really well done it gives you that feel of danger, decision, and surprise for a short film.The acting very well done with the best performance going to Hayley who is just right for the role of Agent Carter she just knows how to make the character The plot for this short film is smart, clever and goes to show the best man for the job is a woman and there is turns of unexpected you don't see coming.The film just knows how to hold your attention which is why I suggest giving this one a tryI give Marvel One Shot: Agent Carter an 10 out of 10
This is another Marvel One-Shot, actually a pretty long one at 15 minutes, starring Hayley Atwell as Agent Carter. When she is sick of the work at her desk and wants some field action, this is exactly what she gets. Apparently, she gets convincing enough to be employed in Washington to run S.H.I.E.L.D. shortly afterward, very much to the dismay of her boss played by Bradley Whitford. Apart from Atwell, the most prominent cast member is probably Dominic Cooper, who appears, just like her in theatrical releases from the Marvel universe in recent years. Atwell also got her own show this year where she stars as the character she portrays here. The director of these 15 minutes is the executive producer of "The Avengers" and this is not the only Marvel One-Shot he worked on. Same goes for the writer, who came up with scripts for four of these. I personally wasn't too impressed here with this short movie. I enjoy these additions to the big cinema releases at half the running time of this one here. 8 Minutes really should be enough and this one goes considerably longer and thus also lacks in terms of script quality in my opinion. It's all pointless action really and the short scene about bikinis during the ending credits was probably better and more entertaining than everything before. The Captain America references weren't too bad either, but in terms of Carter as a hero on her own, it's a definite nay for me. Not recommended.
Last year I was really pleased with Item 47. It was funny, smart, had a nice dialog and likable characters. I hoped Agent Carter would be at least that good.Well, it was actually much, MUCH better. While Item 47 was generally enjoyable, Agent Carter is really touching. It brings some serious questions without loosing its lighter tone.Hayley Atwell is phenomenal as Peggy Carter. Atwell just has it all - the emotional depth, the attractive looks, the cool moves - the whole package. She's playing the character with so much love, it's an absolute pleasure to watch her. Peggy is forced to live in a world of injustice and double standards. Her struggle to keep it together is wonderfully done here.This short film feels like a mini-episode of Alias and that's one of the biggest compliments I could ever say about anything.My only complain about it is that it's not a full-length feature film. Marvel fans deserve a female-lead full-length feature film. Peggy deserves her own full-length feature film. Atwell deserves full-length feature film. Please, Marvel, make it happen soon.
