Previously: In late 2014, Marvel Studios announced Phase Three of its Cinematic Universe, and among the more noteworthy releases on the slate was Black Panther, the first MCU film starring a solo black lead....
When they announced the title for the new Thor movie, I was intrigued. Ragnarok is one of those stories that’s constantly revisited in Thor’s comic. It’s always hanging over Asgard and I think the...
Previously: Doctor Strange was hyped as a major departure for the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to its supernatural elements, but of course, other than a few mind-bending visuals, it was pretty much every other...
When Guardians of the Galaxy came out, I don’t think anybody could have realistically expected the level of success it achieved, both critically and financially. It was so big that you can reasonably argue...
Doctor Strange is one of those Marvel properties that’s been around for decades. He’s a character that fans of the comics can remember popping up all over the place in cameos. I think the...
Before I dive into Captain America: Civil War, allow me to provide some background about the source material. Civil War was one of Marvel Comics’ landmark events, one that had been carefully set up...
So… Ant-Man. Ant. Man. This… is a difficult movie for me to talk about, mostly because it had so little impact on me. It’s not a horrific movie like Battlefield Earth, which if you’re not...
When one thinks about the Avengers, there are only a handful of villains that come to mind who can pose a true challenge. Loki was an excellent choice for the first film; he was...
When Marvel announced their post-Avengers movie schedule in 2012, I expected some titles to be on the list. I expected a Black Widow movie. I expected Power Man and Iron Fist. I had expected Daredevil....
Glory be to the Bad Movie Gods! Pure Flix, the makers of films aimed squarely at evangelical Christians, earned enough money from their excruciatingly awful (and inexplicably successful) 2014 release God’s Not Dead to...
Previously: I was dreading Marvel’s 2014 films, especially after the lackluster 2013 entries in the series. You might be asking yourself what I was dreading, seeing as I loved the first Captain America movie...
Previously: Marvel Studios pulled off a minor miracle, as their four-year plan to release multiple movies as a lead up to a mega-crossover cinematic event exceeded everyone’s sky-high expectations and ultimately resulted in what...
Previously: 2012 passed into our rear-view mirror and 2013 was upon us, and when it came to Marvel movies, we had no idea what to expect. In 2008, we knew the goal for these...
Four years. Four years since that teaser at the end of the Iron Man credits, where Nick Fury teased the “Avengers Initiative”. Four years and here it was, the movie that nerds worldwide had...
Previously: It was confirmed, True Believer, that there was going to be an Avengers movie. And okay, maybe word like that got dropped on some geek web site at the time, but I didn’t always...
I have a confession to make: I’m not a big Thor fan. I’m not saying I hate the character, and there have been periods where I picked up the comic (for example, I was...
Previously: The post-credits scene of Incredible Hulk implied that we were going to be seeing our first glimpse of the Avengers. Would it be similar to the origin of the team in the comic,...
Previously: Iron Man was tremendously successful both commercially and critically, and we comic book readers in particular loved it. It seemed that our long drought of bad comic book movies was at last over,...
If any actor can be considered as having fallen from grace over the decades, it’s Chevy Chase. He became an instant star thanks to his work on the first two seasons of Saturday Night...
On May 2, 2008, history was made: that was the day Iron Man hit theaters in the United States. Up until then, superhero movies had sporadic success as standalone films and self-contained franchises, and...
