Blue Beetle – Review

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 […]

The Flash – Review

There had been many concerns surrounding DCEU’s The Flash and whether or not it would ever finally be released. From re-writes, to character changes, damaging off-set situations and an entire brand changing hands and being headed by a new creative team wanting to completely wipe the slate clean. The long awaited return of Michael Keaton […]

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 […]

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – Review

Not many would have expected Gunn’s Guardians to be the hit that they have been, but it’s a surprise that has sensationally won the hearts of comic book fans that have remained beating ever since their first appearance in 2014. Gunn gathers his team together with Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Karen […]

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special – Review

When you see the words Holiday Special it’s hard not to be instantly reminded of another of Disney’s acquired products. Star Wars’ baffling, bizarre and very off topic Holiday Special is one that many people wish to forget. Released in ’78 and before Disney bought the rights to its properties but seemingly still want no […]

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 […]

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 […]

Thunder Force – Review

Melissa McCarthy (Spy, The Heat) has made an entire career out of playing a clown, and it seems Thunder Force certainly wasn’t going to break that mould. Written and directed by her husband Ben Falcone (Superintelligence, The Boss), the latest effort from the couple is perhaps their least humorous and most cringe inducing to date. […]
