You’d have every reason to not bother with the penultimate outing of the exhaustive and uncoordinated DCEU franchise. No-one really knows what’s going on, and which actors/characters will make it into the revitalized DC comics franchise going forward. Blue Beetle’s weekend box-office record certainly didn’t convince people into buying tickets neither, hitting the lowest sales […]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem – Review
Since the late 80’s, different generations have been able to latch onto these fun characters through their varying iterations and mediums. For me it was through their original T.V. run and the comedically chaotic live action cosplay extravaganza in the early 90’s. Since then the reputation of these half shelled heroes has been a rocky […]
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – Review
The character of Miles Mirales had some big shoes to fill in the limelight absence of the popular and profitable Peter Parker, but thankfully he has his Air Jordan’s on, and gives a fresh feel to the Spider-Man story. 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse offered a refreshing take on the successful superhero. Whilst Tom Holland […]
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Review
Phase 4 of the MCU has felt like somewhat of an experimental period for the company, but it’s a phase that seems to lack purpose and any sense of direction going forward. Sadly, the death of Chadwick Boseman – who was to continue playing the role of King T’Challa AKA Black Panther – was something […]
Werewolf by Night – Review
For years I’ve been saying that Marvel is getting too comfortable and have become stagnant and stubborn in their ways. Once they found monumental success with The Avengers in 2012 it felt like they finally had a formula that worked and took the superhero sub-genre to new heights. But since the turn of its 4th […]
The Batman – Review
From Keaton to Kilmer, Bale to Ben, the character of the ‘Caped Crusader’ has seen many faces and has been interpreted in many different forms throughout its cultural impact on the moviemaking world. From the campiness of the 1960’s Adam West era, to the apocalyptic levels reached in Affleck’s latest incarnation of the character. With […]
Spider-Man: No Way Home – Review
Regardless of where you stand with Marvel and their cinematic takeover in the world of moviemaking, I think it’s fair to applaud Kevin Feige and co. for what they have managed to achieve over the years, is nothing short of remarkable. Constantly finding new ways of upping the stakes, creating fresh stories and introducing new […]
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings – Review
We’re entering a phase of Marvel’s infinite storytelling where I fear those who aren’t regular comic book readers, will start to become disillusioned by their upcoming projects. And by ‘those’ I of course mean me. With the quick back to back releases of Shang-Chi and The Eternals, I feel storytelling and strong character writing will […]
The Suicide Squad – Review
Ridiculous, goofy, unlikely to succeed and features a bunch of ragtag oddballs that will fail to reach a wide audience when brought to the big screen. All things director James Gunn had faced when bringing the Guardians of the Galaxy to the screen for the MCU some years back, and it’s safe to say that […]
Black Widow – Review
It feels like rubbing salt in the wound by bringing Scarlett Johansson back into the MCU after her dramatic and devastating departure in Avengers: Endgame (2019). But seeing her return as Natasha Romanoff AKA Black Widow, the role an entire generation will pin her to, in her own solo outing seems long overdue. Director Cate […]
