Top Ten Superhero Movies of the Decade

10. The Avengers I’m not sure this ones going to hold up well over time, but it was a big deal.  Maybe it makes the list more on its significance.  Second half much better than the first. –   9. Captain America: Winter Solider Sure it gave up the MCU’s lamest character in Bucky Barnes […]

Avengers: Endgame

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 […]

Aquaman

So, that was interesting. They really decided to go all out with DC’s lamest superhero, didn’t they?

But this is what a successful movie franchise allows and Marvel keeps seeing how far into their oddities they can go. […]

X-Men: Apocalypse

The X-Men franchise has always been a solid presence, as far as comic book films went.  The original film kicked off this whole superhero movie movement we’ve been living in, while some of the sequels (not all mind you) have really shown how a comic book movie should be made.  And now after five films […]
