Remember when I wrote Can We Just Admit That Black Adam is a (Soft) Failure? Apparently I’m not the only person to think so because The Wrap has recently reached the same conclusion (you’d have to join WrapPRO to read the full article but the two paragraphs you can read gratis are enough) albeit 11 […]
Last week the trailer dropped for Black Adam, the latest movie from DC Films and it’s amazing, though not for the reasons you might think. It manages to steal iconic moments from various Marvel movie trailers in such a way that’s so blatant that there’s something pretty remarkable – never mind shameless – about it. […]
When Walt Disney created Disney+, they were not playing because they not only began with an initial investment somewhere in the ballpark of a billion dollars, but they’re projected to increase that to $14-16 billion over the next few years. What they also did was pull their content from everywhere else, including Netflix, which means […]
Earlier this week a trailer was released for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, the sequel/soft reboot to David Ayer’s Suicide Squad (2016) and I didn’t like it nearly as much as I thought I would. Part of the problem is Ayer’s movie is often criticized when no one has actually seen it – and you […]
Comicbook.com just posted a complete image of the Batsuit from Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman, and it’s hard to say if it works visually. And that’s because you can’t necessarily tell how well a costume works from spy shots because superhero suits are designed to be depicted in a certain way and in a particular […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scott Derrickson has left Marvel Studios’ upcoming Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. The article sites “creative differences (essentially a meaningless term)” and while it seems that that the parting was amicable (Derrickson remains as executive producer), something tells me that the reason for his leaving was his intention […]
I’ve finally got around to preparing a review of Aquaman and there’s a valid reason why it’s taken as long as it has: The DCEU is essentially a clusterfuck, managed by people that have never read a comic book in their lives, which genuinely bothers me. Despite having gotten in to comics initially with DC […]
With a second season of Marvel’s The Punisher (as well as a third of Jessica Jones) coming I’m mildly apprehensive about it’s chances. Not because of issues of watchability–though all the Marvel series on Netflix tend to run three episodes too many–but because of what from the outside looks like some sort of power struggle […]
I’ve never been a fan of Captain America: The First Avenger. It’s not a bad movie more than a narratively muddy one that never quite comes clear. Though there are some moments you can see the potential of the character shine through–such as what I like to call the ‘bully’ scene–but on the whole doesn’t […]
The upcoming Black Widow movie has a lot going for it–2017’s Wonder Woman has proven that a female-led superhero movie can not only be profitable, but revered bay both critics and moviegoers alike–but that doesn’t mean that it should take some very significant advantages for granted. First there’s Scarlett Johannson, who’s shown with 2014’s Lucy that a […]
