I will always resent Kevin Costner for saying goodbye to Yellowstone (even though the problems were probably on both sides) and I understand that he wanted to shoot his passion project no matter the cost (in terms both of money and disputes with former colleagues). And if this four-part epic doesn't get finished (which doesn't look very promising due to the box office debacle), we will be left with half of the story (we might see the completed second part who knows when), which would have worked better as a ten-episode series, but with such a murderous pace that only hardcore western fans could really have enjoyed the first part. I couldn't handle it completely, and I love both Yellowstone and Costner; with westerns, pacing is simply crucial. Kevin appears here after an hour, when the viewer often gets confused in the plethora of characters and is treated mostly to the stunning landscape and the camera that captures the American West. It's the kind of movie that you're glad to have experienced (maybe not that you lost three hours doing it), but it's not Dances with Wolves (in terms of risk and subsequent commercial mega success, as well as quality). I never want to see it again.

Adam Sandler in the lead and his buddies with him, especially Christopher McDonald, have always entertained me in all comedies. Hopefully, the planned sequel will at least be at least a somewhat worthy successor.

Despite my initial aversion to the project (due to the unnecessary and uninteresting central character), I eventually got into the series quite quickly (also because Disney doesn't release that many new things) and surprisingly, I have much better feelings about Agatha All Along than I had hoped for. While a good portion of the episodes felt like they were going in circles and it was obvious that they were just filler material and the writers didn't really know how to make a full 9 episodes, I actually had a relatively good time with the rest and even hummed along to the central song, which surprisingly has its own style. It doesn't bring anything new to the MCU and casual viewers can warmly skip Agatha, but apparently due to the success of the series (which disappoints me twice over especially considering Star Wars: The Acolyte, which had greater potential), people at D+ at least watched that one episode. However, in the future, I hope that Marvel will focus on more interesting characters (like just next year on Daredevil!).
