Incredibles 2

By Matthew Garcia | Jun 15, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

When The Incredibles come out in 2004, superheroes in movies were still more of a novelty than the norm. While Bryan Singer and Sam Raimi had released two installments of X-Men and Spider-Man, respectively, Batman hadn’t yet begun and Nick Fury still searched for heroes to assemble. There was something fresh, something cool, something classic about The Incredibles. It […]

Solo: A Star Wars Story

By Brian Salvatore | May 22, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

Fraught with production issues, Solo: A Star Wars Story is the second Star Wars film outside the Skywalker Saga, and the first film since the prequels to re-cast a beloved character with a younger actor. For those reasons, the anticipation for the film has been rather muted, at least by standard Star Wars standards. There […]

Batman: Ninja

By Brian Salvatore | May 8, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

When Batman: Ninja was announced, it sounded like it could be a train wreck of epic proportions. But with each subsequent announcement, the film started looking better and better, from hiring some really great people to work on it, to that first trailer, which was stunning. The film drops today. Does it live up to […]

Avengers: Infinity War

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 24, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

Two notes, up top, before I really get into this: the review is spoiler-free, and there is only one post-credits scene, at the very end of the credits. You probably have enough time to pee and come back before it. Avengers: Infinity War is an incredibly ambitious bit of film making from just about every […]

The Death of Stalin

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Mar 5, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

Armando Iannucci (The Thick of It, Veep)’s bleakly funny film adaptation of Fabien Nury and Thierry Robin’s French graphic novel “La Mort de Staline” was nominated for two BAFTAs and received four British Independent Film Awards – including Best Supporting Actor for Simon Russell Beale. It has proved popular in Stalin’s native Georgia, and been […]

Black Panther

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 6, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

Black Panther is, on paper, one of the riskiest Marvel movies to date. Featuring no established star as a supporting cast member (Tony Stark in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Falcon in Ant-Man) and a character that the general film audience probably has limited experience with, it would be easy to set the bar low for Black Panther‘s […]

Justice League

By Michael Mazzacane | Nov 17, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

2017 has been a banner year for superhero movies and one of the evolutionary points on the timeline. It saw the release of the first proper revisionist film (Logan), Psychoanalytic Daddy Issues: The Space Opera (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2), a film that hints at a feminist possibility for the blockbuster (Wonder Woman), an […]

9 Thoughts on Thor: Ragnarok

By Chris Thompson | Oct 31, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

I’ve been to see Thor: Ragnarok, so that you don’t have to . . . . Just kidding. Of course, you’re going to. But here are nine brief points that stood out to me, one for each of the Nine Realms. 1. The title credits for Marvel now only feature scenes from the movies. It’s […]

Spider-Man: Homecoming

By Ramon Piña | Jul 7, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

It’s finally July, and one of the most anticipated movies of the year is here. Of course, I’m talking about Spider-Man: Homecoming. Keep reading for our spoiler-free review. At first, I thought it was going to be really difficult for me to review this movie; the franchise has so much history that you can’t avoid […]

Wonder Woman featured

Wonder Woman

By Matthew Garcia | Jun 2, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

There’s a lot riding on Wonder Woman, perhaps an unfair amount. The narrative runs that Warner Bros. is taking a huge risk in having a female-led superhero movie directed by a woman, although they take these chances all the time, just with men. They’ve also given this a smaller budget than either Suicide Squad or […]

Teen Titans: The Judas Contract

By Brian Salvatore | May 16, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

Earlier this year, DC/WB Animation released an adaption of ‘The Judas Contract,’ the classic Teen Titans story that we reviewed here yesterday. This is an inspired choice for an animated film, if not one that presents a few problems due to the structure of the DCAU. So, the producers streamlined the story, updated the cast, […]

Colossal

By Rodney Ortiz | May 9, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

As we enter the middle of the year and studios begin to rollout the self-proclaimed “summer blockbusters” there seems to be more teasers, trailers and promotional material than ever. All these materials are generally designed to increase your desire to watch said movies, in effect raising your expectations, unless you’re like me… I’ve developed an […]

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

By Jay Barrett | May 5, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

Let’s get something out of the way first: Baby Groot sucks and completely overstays his welcome in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2. I promise you, every reviewer has probably thought this, I’m probably the only one reckless enough to say it, but, damn it, Groot’s gotta go. He started as a fun diversion, but […]

Hugh Jackman Bids A Fitting, If Familiar Farewell In Logan

By Alice W. Castle | Mar 6, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

Wolverine is a man characterised by violence, both violence done to him and violence he does unto others. While Fox’s X-Men film universe has largely cast Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine as the surly, grimacing leading man in what is ostensibly more of a sci-fi flavoured action series at this point rather than superhero films, James Mangold’s […]

The Lego Batman Movie

By Nicholas Palmieri | Feb 13, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

To understand what a feat The Lego Batman Movie is, first consider the concept: a spin-off of an animated movie based on a toy line based on licensed characters that originated in comics. How could something so far removed from the source material understand the characters and their history better than any recent movie starring […]

Rogue One Brings Brave, New Storytelling To Star Wars

By Alice W. Castle | Dec 15, 2016 | Movies, Reviews

It is a dark time for the galaxy. The Empire reigns supreme after a 19 year chokehold since the end of the Clone Wars and it’s up to a plucky band of Rebels to take down their ultimate superweapon before it can do any real harm to the galaxy. This . . . is not […]

Kubo and the Two Strings

By Mark Tweedale | Nov 22, 2016 | Movies, Reviews

If you haven’t seen Kubo and the Two Strings yet, let me save you some time: this is a film you need to see. The last time I saw this film, it was on the very last session of the very last day it was showing in any cinema in my city. The cinema was […]

Doctor Strange Is Not As Magical As It Seems

By Alice W. Castle | Oct 27, 2016 | Movies, Reviews

For the longest time, Marvel Studios seemed untouchable. They were the star child, the little engine that could. A production company spinning out of its parent publisher to directly translate its comics to films. After close to a decade, now, they have produced films pretty much yearly that have brought some of Marvel’s most iconic […]

Shin Godzilla Featured

Shin Godzilla

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 17, 2016 | Movies, Reviews

Godzilla is one of the most recognizable characters in science fiction, if not overall film, history. Appearing in over 30 films over the past sixty years, Godzilla doesn’t really need much in terms of an audience refresher; this isn’t updating a character from whom the public has moved on. But, the character still probably needed […]

Supergirl: The Movie

By Ken Godberson III | Oct 3, 2016 | 40 Days of Supergirl, Movies, Reviews

Warning: There will be spoilers to this 30+ year old movie. Our “40 Days of Supergirl” event has seen Multiversity Comics explore a plethora of media involving young Kara Zor-El, from the comics to the television show, to over 60 artists contributing sketches/pinups featuring her. However, we still have one major piece of media that […]

Suicide Squad‘s Bark Is A Lot Worse Than Its Bite

By James Johnston | Aug 5, 2016 | Movies, Reviews

Suicide Squad explodes into theaters today, just as our review explodes into your eye holes. Check it out below but watch out for full spoilers for both Suicide Squad and Batman v. Superman below this picture of Jared Leto. We were spoiled with Batman v. Superman. That’s not to say Batman v. Superman was an underrated classic […]
