Did I love it? No. Did I hate it? Also no. Taika Waititi’s second Marvel film definitely pales in comparison to the filmmakers first, Thor: Ragnarok. Love and Thunder had almost all the right pieces in place, except for that emotional pull. Was it just me or did you also feel little to nothing about Thor and Dr. Jane Foster? Because I was incredibly underwhelmed and didn’t … Continue reading Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
My significant other was in charge of getting these tickets for us on opening night. He chose an 11:45 PM showing. For a nearly 3 hour film. On a day that I worked. My faith that I would stay awake for the entire film was low. But, I was wrong. I was dead wrong. I was awake and enthralled for the full two hours and … Continue reading The Batman (2022): A Neo-Noir Beauty
If you’ve been with me for a while you’ll know that I’m not always keen on fan service when it comes to comic book films. Mainly because the fan base, at times, can be toxic and giving them what they want to see can kind of be like rewarding bad behavior. However, in the case of Spider-Man: No Way Home, I am all for playing into … Continue reading Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021): Fan Service At It’s Finest
Listen, I have to be completely straight with you: I went into Eternals expecting a mess along the lines of 2016’s Suicide Squad. What I got instead was a film that left me feeling the same way I did at the beginning of the MCU. Eternals left me looking forward to what lies ahead. It left me wanting to learn more about these characters that I have very … Continue reading Eternals (2021)
Okay. So I definitely meant to watch this film opening weekend. But, real life happens and I started a new job, so here we are. The sequel to 2018’s Venom is just as good as the first one. That’s to say that Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a mediocre comic film, but still enjoyable to watch. Once again we have Tom Hardy playing the roll of … Continue reading Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
If I’m being completely honest, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was one of the Marvel films that I was least excited to see. I had accepted the fact that I was going to have to watch it, so that I don’t miss out on anything that connects the film to the larger picture, but that was about it. After viewing the film on … Continue reading Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Written and directed by James Gunn (Slither, Guardians of the Galaxy), The Suicide Squad is a reboot of sorts of the 2016 David Ayer Suicide Squad. You know, the one that Warner Brothers just couldn’t keep their hands out of? ANYWAY. James Gunn clearly had a vision and he was not going to make the film unless he had 95% of the control. And, I’m happy … Continue reading The Suicide Squad (2021)
Two years. It has been nearly two years without a new Marvel film. And, finally, we get one that fans have been asking for for years. Black Widow stars Scarlett Johansson reprising her role as Natasha Romanoff aka the Black Widow. Taking place between Captain America: Civil War and Infinity War, Black Widow follows the titular character on the run from the United States government for violating the Sokovia Accords (the … Continue reading Black Widow (2021)
Alright. So this is a 4 hour film, so bear with me, as I have a lot to say. Had the entire film had the same heart and tone as the Epilogue, then I would have loved this film. Without a doubt. However, that’s not the case and, honestly, Zack Snyder’s Justice League has left me feeling underwhelmed. For those that are not familiar with the … Continue reading Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)
When the lights came up, I was silent. I did not know how to feel. I put my apprehension about the film aside so that I could get the whole experience. There was a man sitting catty-corner to my friend and I who, throughout the film, would laugh at questionable moments. At the end of the film, he said “aw yeah. He killed that bitch”, … Continue reading Joker (2019)
