THR影评：《幻视之旅》褒贬不一——贝坦尼与斯派德撑起全剧，但“解释太多”拖了后腿
漫威Disney+剧集《VisionQuest》（《幻视之旅》）将于10月14日开播，《好莱坞报道者》（THR）的影评已率先发布，评价褒贬不一。THR的总评一针见血：这部剧“要解释的东西太多了”（has too much 'splaining to do）。
该剧由特里·马塔拉斯（Terry Matalas）主创，是《旺达幻视》与《阿加莎》之后的“三部曲”收官作。保罗·贝坦尼饰演的“白幻视”拥有前任的记忆却感受不到其中的情感，隐姓埋名在爱丁堡当酒保；他的意识空间里还住着贾维斯、星期五等人工智能，以及被他囚禁的奥创——由詹姆斯·斯派德以真人形态回归饰演。剧情主线是幻视与转世为18岁青年托马斯（即其子汤米，由鲁亚里德·莫利卡饰演）的父子重逢，奥创与合成人乔卡斯塔（特尼亚·米勒饰演）之间则有一条出人意料的感情副线。
THR认为，该剧最动人的部分是父子情与贝坦尼的表演——他把这个演了十多年的角色挖出了新层次；斯派德的奥创也比《复仇者联盟2》时用得更出彩。但影评同时指出，全剧八小时里有太多篇幅用于角色互相讲解各自的起源与创伤，节奏因此被拖慢。THR的标题概括为：有时感人、有时令人疲惫（sometimes moving, sometimes exhausting）。

THR Review: 'VisionQuest' Is Sometimes Moving, Sometimes Exhausting, Carried by Bettany and Spader
Marvel's "VisionQuest" premieres October 14 on Disney+, and The Hollywood Reporter's review is mixed. The critic's bottom line is that the series "has too much 'splaining to do," even as its two leads elevate it.
Created by Terry Matalas, the series closes out the trilogy begun by "WandaVision" and "Agatha All Along." Paul Bettany's White Vision can access his predecessor's memories but cannot feel them, and is living quietly as a bartender in Edinburgh while sharing his mindspace with A.I.s including J.A.R.V.I.S., F.R.I.D.A.Y. and a captive Ultron, played in human form by James Spader. The emotional core is Vision's reunion with Thomas (Ruaridh Mollica), the reincarnated version of his son Tommy, with a subplot pairing Ultron with the synthezoid Jocasta (T'Nia Miller).
THR praises Bettany for mining new layers in a role he has played for over a decade and calls Spader's turn a better use of the actor than "Avengers: Age of Ultron," but finds the eight-episode season weighed down by layered backstories, with characters spending long stretches explaining their origins to one another — "sometimes moving, sometimes exhausting."
