Black Panther is the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and the last movie before Infinity War comes out this May. But like Wonder Woman last year it bears a special significance above and beyond just being a cool movie we wanted to see. It's not the first superhero movie with a Black … Continue reading Movie Review – Black Panther
TV Series Review – The Defenders
OK, I'm a few months late here but I finally got around to checking out The Defenders. I was going to watch it when it first dropped but then I started seeing all the mixed reviews/sentiments about it, and coming off of Iron Fist which a lot of people hated I figured it could wait. … Continue reading TV Series Review – The Defenders
Movie Review – Thor: Ragnarok
Thor: Ragnarok is the third bite at the apple for Marvel Studios with Thor after two installments that were ok at best. It centers around an invasion of Thor's home of Asgard by Hela the goddess of death, his secret sister who'd been imprisioned by their father Odin. On his way to deal with Hela … Continue reading Movie Review – Thor: Ragnarok
Movie Review – Spider-Man: Homecoming
Let me start off by saying I really didn't want this movie to be made. I wanted the Andrew Garfield run to get one more movie and a proper finish, and then they could do whatever they wanted to fit the character into the MCU. So in viewing and reviewing this, I'm admittedly not starting … Continue reading Movie Review – Spider-Man: Homecoming
Movie Review – Dr. Strange

Did Blade Save Comic Book Movies?
Over the weekend I read, but didn't participate in, a Twitter discussion over whether or not X-Men saved comic book movies as opposed to Blade, which dropped two years prior. X-Men is largely credited with reviving the genre after Batman and Robin supposedly put it all in serious jeopardy with it's abysmal box office failure … Continue reading Did Blade Save Comic Book Movies?
Here we go again
Until we actually see the movie, Fantastic Four is going to be a source of debate this year. Michael B. Jordan offered an excellent retort to anyone opposed to his casting here. But then on the flip side there was a factually challenged piece in the Daily Beast about minorities in superhero films. This stuff … Continue reading Here we go again
Age of Ultron vs The Moron Brigade
So less than a week after from the Avengers: Age of Ultron theater release, the complainers have descended upon us. People just can't help themselves these days it seems. Instead of enjoying a really awesome movie some people have to concoct some 'well actually' argument and run to the internet to get some recognition. There … Continue reading Age of Ultron vs The Moron Brigade
Review – Avengers: Age of Ultron
Sequel time! Avengers: Age of Ultron is the sequel to the Avengers movie from 2012. The title is taken from a Marvel Comics crossover event from a few years ago, but the story isn't the same. Here Ultron is the creation of Tony Stark instead of Hank Pym in the comics. His ultimate goal is … Continue reading Review – Avengers: Age of Ultron
Whedon Out? Makes sense to me
So, Joss Whedon is out of the Marvel business after Age of Ultron hits the theaters. It's been an incredible run for him with Marvel - in addition to the two Avengers films he directed he's been one of the drivers behind the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe and a major reason for it's success. For … Continue reading Whedon Out? Makes sense to me
