Yikes, that was crazy. They really brought in all of the previous movies, didn’t they? I went into Endgame avoiding pretty much everything about it, apart from the first trailer. So the whole basic plot was unknown to me, and I quite enjoyed where they took it. It provided for some great look backs and […]

June 16, 2019The Ten Best and Worst Marvel Movies
April 15, 2019With Avengers: End Game being released later this month and Marvel hype at its highest, I thought it would be time for me to rank all the Marvel films of the modern era. I realized that I was pretty close to seeing them all, so I decided to watch the ones I hadn’t yet seen […]
Captain Marvel
March 10, 2019The thing with Marvel movies at this point is that they’ve got it down to the point where they aren’t going to make a bad film. Now, you can rant and rave about “formula” and how much you don’t like it, but the movies are enjoyable. However, the flip side of that is that this […]
My Most Anticipated Movies of 2019
January 27, 2019Another year, another potential crop of movies. Will it be a better year for film than 2018? One can hope. 5. The Lego Movie 2 I loved the Lego Movie in 2014. I thought it captured the spirit of Lego and told a funny, impacting story among a creative background. That said, I do not […]
Avengers: Infinity War
April 30, 2018The culmination of the last ten years of Marvel movies, the moment that all these interconnected stories have been building up to, satisfyingly delivers. This is a relief for everyone who has some level of investment in this franchise. Its the biggest crossover since Cartoon All-stars to the Rescue, and it is quite the spectacle. […]
Thor Ragnarok
November 19, 2017The Thor Trilogy takes a tonal shift with its third installment as the Marvel film magnates have decided they want to pull people in by making it more like the smash hit Guardians of the Galaxy. The result is a conclusion of the somewhat mythological story of Asgard mashed with humour-filled, cosmic wackiness. As it […]
Spider-Man Homecoming
September 17, 2017As of late, I have been feeling Marvel Movie Fatigue set in. At some point, all movie fans are going to get there; some have been there for a while, others may have a good couple of years still enjoying these movies. But Civil War start me on the path of getting burnt out, and […]
Captain America: Civil War
May 9, 2016Superhero fatigue. That’s the buzz word these days on most movie blogs and podcasts. Internet reviewers love to use it, and have jumped on the bandwagon of the phrase’s overuse. It usually makes me roll my eyes, as it seems like an attempt to sound “above all that”. But I have to admit… I may […]
Ant-Man
July 20, 2015With Antman, Marvel has decided to take the plunge into the truly ridiculous. At this point it seems like they’re trying to see how far they can push it.”Lets make a movie where the superhero shrinks and hangs out with ants!” And does their hubris payoff? Surprisingly yes. Paul Rudd was a great casting choice […]
Avengers: Age of Ultron
May 3, 2015Marvel has been very successful in creating a movie franchise universe for its comic book heroes, and ever expanding that universe across almost a dozen films. But in their second Avengers movie the whole franchise seems to have evolved to a whole new step. The Marvel movie universe has now managed to completely immerse itself […]
My Most Anticipated Movies of 2015
January 4, 2015Well, the new year is upon us, so I came back to talk about the movies that are coming up. At least that I know about at the moment. Its the time of year for top ten lists and all that too, and I’ll get to mine soon enough as well. Honourable Mention: Ant-Man I’m […]
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
April 6, 2014The first Captain America movie was certainly one of the weaker movies in the Marvel catalog, but its sequel The Winter Soldier has proved itself to be one of the strongest. It is probably the Marvel film that is most focused on story, that’s for sure. In Winter Soldier, Cap must investigate into a plot […]
The Avengers
May 7, 2012“The Avengers, that’s what we call ourselves. We’re sort of a team.” My thoughts on The Avengers will echo the majority of those who have seen this great movie already. This was one fantastic superhero film, one of the best ever made and certainly the best Marvel film ever made. I still wouldn’t say its […]
My Most Anticipated Movies of 2012
October 2, 20115. The Avengers The Avengers has become more of a spectacle than a film. But that’s okay, I’m willing to take part in the spectacle. This movie has been hyped up since Iron Man in 2008 so I highly doubt that it will meet those expectations. Still, having that many superheroes in one movie together […]
Iron Man 2
May 7, 2010Iron Man is back, but not quite better than ever. The elements which I loved from the first Iron Man are still there: Stark’s crazy antics, the fun Iron Man action visuals, the witty dialogue banter. I did feel that the chemistry between Stark and Pepper Potts was ebbing slightly, but that’s a minor quibble. […]
