Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A somewhat-enjoyable sequel to “Venom,” held together almost entirely by Tom Hardy’s hyper performance as Eddie Brock. (And also his over-the-top voice work for Venom that works better than it should.) While the trailers didn’t give away much about this film besides its general plot, the film itself doesn’t… Read More »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A fun superhero origin tale that delivers some great action and fleshed-out characters, all while putting Asian culture on display in a respectful manner.

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A solid solo film for Marvel’s Black Widow that introduces some fun new characters, but wraps the story up in a bit of a mess.

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Despite shaking up the superhero genre by using a horror-themed setting, “The New Mutants” struggles to overcome mediocre acting and characters that never really connect with the audience.

Watch my YouTube SPOILER talk here A fairly mediocre superhero film that is saved by a likable lead and a few solid action scenes. The film suffers from pacing issues, especially in the first act. It’s stop and go, and there’s a long stretch of nothing too interesting happening before it gets to the meat… Read More »
Click here for my SPOILER talk on YouTube An enjoyable film that overcomes an overstuffed-plot by way of likable characters and fun action sequences. As with the first “Ant-Man,” the character relationships are what keep things grounded despite all the comic book adventure. Paul Rudd as Scott Lang is still down-to-earth and likable, especially when… Read More »
Still funny and outrageous, “Deadpool 2” somehow manages to feel like the standard superhero adventure. This film doesn’t follow the path you would expect. Although we do get another opening sequence that leads to a flashback, the story takes a shocking turn early on. After that, we settle in for the jokes and fourth wall… Read More »
