Man-Thing
The story of Man-Thing is probably worlds more interesting than the movie itself. A Marvel Comics character, Man-Thing is a supernatural swamp creature, feared by mankind and protecting the environment, but was originally a man himself. If this sounds like … Continue reading

Avengers: Age of Ultron
The bigger the sequel is, the harder it is to pull off. Avengers: Age of Ultron is arguably a sequel to multiple different movies at once, and its direct predecessor, The Avengers, was a massive success — so the bar … Continue reading
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Whatever my thoughts on Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, I had expected I’d be watching and reviewing these films for years to come. After all, Sony had already scheduled dates for the third and fourth films even before the second … Continue reading

X-Men: First Class
The X-Men film franchise was largely responsible for kick-starting the superhero movie resurgence of the 2000s. And with X-Men: Days of Future Past coming out this year, and X-Men: Apocalypse already announced, Sony’s ongoing adaptation of the popular Marvel Comics … Continue reading
First Impressions: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This week saw the debut of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the first — though possibly not the last — incursion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe into television. It’s probably fair to say it was one of the most anticipated debuts … Continue reading
Iron Man 3
Trilogies seem to be a tough thing for superhero movie franchises. Almost inevitably, there’s one film — generally the third — which proves to be a letdown, no matter how good the initial film was. In the case of the … Continue reading

News Bites: Horrible Hot Wheels
It’s Friday morning, time once again for the News Bites. Until the last few days of the week, I was honestly wondering if there was actually going to be a post; only a very few items had come my way. … Continue reading →
