Kevin Feige has finally responded to Martin Scorsese’s recent comments about Superhero films. Scorsese said Marvel and DC films are like theme park rides and are not real cinema. To a degree I agree and disagree. Whilst these movies are enjoyable I do feel as thou they’re just churned out without much thought, they provide…
James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence are back again in what is supposed to be the last instalment of the X-Men saga (for now). Our story revolves around a space mission for the X-Men that goes wrong and the consequences that follow. The film starts fluid enough, the X-Men are sent to space by…
A kick-ass ensemble is one of the first things that comes to mind when we think of superheroes. Usually made from body-hugging latex, bold colors and featuring their memorable icon, the costume of a superhero can be the making of them. But, when they’re not saving the world or fighting their archnemesis, who still has…
Set in San Francisco we see Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, a hard-nosed journalist who is trying to dig up dirt on billionaire Carlton (a sadly rather dull Riz Ahmed) who Brock believes is behind a shady organization. It’s hard to have a Venom movie without featuring Spiderman and seeing reviews for this particular feature…
After filming a VLOG at Cineworld Stoke, I was given two tickets to see Infinity War. So much hype has surrounded this movie and because of that, I’ve built this film up in my head to be the one film to rule them all! As the embargo on the press reviews were lifted my hype meter…
Black Panther represents the first superhero film of any sort to boast an almost exclusively black cast. A groundbreaking tale set predominately in Africa and a film that addresses key real-world issues such as colonialism, slavery and racism. Black Panther revolves around the African nation of Wakanda. A nation that to the outside world is…
When the credits rolled it all made perfect sense. The film had six screenwriters. Six. Spider-Man: Homecoming is two films. The first story is an incredibly engaging story of class warfare; an examination of how the assembly of the Avengers created an even greater economic divide between the ruling class and the common people….
This review contains no spoilers only basic plot elements. Logan is without a doubt the best Marvel movie that Marvel didn’t technically make. There are so many things they got right about Logan that I just don’t know where to begin. Hugh Jackman really did the character Logan justice this time around. It’s by far…
I wanna start out by saying that when the first “X-Men” film hit theaters I was only 10 years old. “X-Men” came before any Spider-Man, Hulk, or any other Avenger for that matter when it came to a theatrical movie. I remember seeing it on opening day, so excited. It was like I’d…
The Russo Brothers know exactly how to blend all of the ingredients within the parameters of a Marvel super-production. Captain America was always my #1 Marvel hero, so it’s no surprise that Joe Johnston’s square-jawed and retro-futurist Captain America: The First Avenger remains my favorite film from within the MCU. The Russo brothers’ follow up,…
Forget terrible Rotten Tomatoes scores and damning editorial pieces, nothing is quite as worrying as going to see a movie and having the cinema staff beg you not to buy a ticket. When “hello mate, one for Fantastic Four” is met with a desperate plea of “please sir, I cannot in good faith recommend that…
Ant-Man is a must-see for those who prefer zany and absurd action in their comic-book adaptations. If The Dark Knight is the king of gritty superhero stories then Ant-Man is its polar opposite; rather than trying to mix a dark atmosphere with witty quips (e.g. The Avengers), director Peyton Reed has gone all-out to create…
Director: Joss Whedon Starring: Robert Downey Jnr, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson UK Release Date: 23rd April 2015 Say what you want about superheroes dominating the modern blockbuster, but when a franchise’s newest offering can sell out 2 screens at midnight on a Wednesday, they must be doing something right. Avengers: Age…
