2022 was a rough year for me in the comic book world. There were some books I lost my way with and others I just dropped because I couldn't deal anymore. The biggest thing is that I fell out of hard with the current runs of Batman. It started back when they did the great … Continue reading 2022, my year in Comics
Movie Review – Zack Snyder’s Justice League
This of course is the movie most of us never thought would be made. After 2017's theatrical cut flopped at the box office, Snyder's most devoted fans began an online campaign for his version of the film to be completed and released. And it looked like a pipe dream to be honest. I for one … Continue reading Movie Review – Zack Snyder’s Justice League
Movie Review – Hancock
Hancock is one of those movies that was perpetually on my list of Movies I Should Get Around to Watching. When it was in theaters and long after it left I had every intention of checking it out. I even bought it on DVD and let it collect dust for several year until I got … Continue reading Movie Review – Hancock
Don’t Trust the Fans!
I'm writing this largely in reaction to the reaction a lot of folks have had to The Last Jedi. Way too many people are mad on the internet because writer/director Rian Johnson did not go with wish fulfillment of any of the multiple fan fiction speculation theories that were out there for the last two … Continue reading Don’t Trust the Fans!
No more Civil Wars or Injustices
I wrote a few weeks back on Civil War 2 and where I thought it went wrong, but after reading DC's Injustice story, I've become convinced that these large scale heroes divided stories need to go away and never come back. In each case you can read comments and reviews that say the story started … Continue reading No more Civil Wars or Injustices
Thoughts on DC: Rebirth
So DC's Rebirth one shot is here and the table has been set for their company wide relaunch starting next week. Reaction to the one shot has been mostly very good. This event was a year in the making. There was chatter that last year's Convergence was supposed to be the big reset; that didn't … Continue reading Thoughts on DC: Rebirth
Tapping Out on Trailers
So we got a Dr. Strange trailer yesterday....no wait, that was the teaser trailer not the actual first trailer. And a few days earlier we got the third (Or is fourth? I don't even know anymore) trailer for Civil War and the third or fourth trailer for Suicide Squad. And that's after the first trailer … Continue reading Tapping Out on Trailers
Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
Let me start this off by stating very clearly....THIS IS MY OPINION. If you have a different one, that's perfectly fine. I'm saying that because I have seen way too many 'if you like Dawn of Justice, you're a moron!' takes ever since the reviews started coming in. It takes a whole lot for me … Continue reading Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
A few thoughts on Dawn of Justice
OK, I'm back from seeing Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. I'm not giving a full blown review here because I'm going back next weekend to see it again. If you're dying to know what I think (of course you are, or you wouldn't be joining the two or three other people who are reading … Continue reading A few thoughts on Dawn of Justice
R-Rated Super Movies
Batman going full tilt on the bad guys, literally bashing faces in and nailing them with batarangs in full bloody fashion. Wolverine finally giving opponents the proper slice and dice treatment that many have been clamoring for. More movies like Blade and Deadpool, and fewer like Guardians of the Galaxy or Ant-Man. Is this the … Continue reading R-Rated Super Movies
