Joker

Joker is worth its weight in gold. It is a wonderful take on a villain that most people in the world are familiar with. From a character that has no real origin story in the comics, comes a very well written and grounded showing of a tale that might have been. With no Batman in…

Spider-Man: Far from Home

The first film to follow up the events of Endgame starts off with a bang. With the future of the universe in question, this film is a great start to the continued story with great twists and turns ahead. The story is a great adventure while keeping the heart and awkwardness of being a young…

Detective Pikachu

Do we really need a Pokémon movie? Most of the movie-going audience let this one slip by without a second glance. However, the adults who lived through the rise of the Pokémon craze and the die-hard fans will give the movie a shot. Detective Pikachu is shot very well and has some great special effects….

Avengers Endgame

This is the end of an era. It took 22 films and 10 years to finish this story. Avengers Endgame has a lot of ground to cover. The film has a refreshing and new perspective on an old movie plot device. It is shot beautifully and has a stellar cast that truly drives the film….

Shazam!

This was an unexpected and well needed win for DC Comics and Warner Brothers Studios.  Shazam is full of life and laughs from beginning to end. The film delivers on a character that in the past has been used as a secondary character in the animated films. Shazam has something in store for the whole…

Captain Marvel

With another outing for Marvel studios comes Captain Marvel. This is the studio’s first outing with a female lead superhero and they deliver yet again a solid motion picture. This film is world building for the future and as well as the past in the way that the film is told. The story is a…

Aquaman

This is a movie that I have been waiting on since first seeing Jason Momoa in Batman Vs Superman and Justice League. This is an example of taking a character that was a laughing joke in most comics and on TV, and making him a force to be reckoned with. Since I saw the first…

Spider-Man into the Spider- Verse

This is a Spider-Man story that I was fairly familiar with and I loved the new twist. With multiple universes and multiple Spider-Men, it could be a daunting tale to tell and keep a general audience following the story. This is also the first Spider-Man story where we are not following Peter Parker. So, we…

Venom

It was nice to see one of my favorite comic book characters get a second chance. I was on board with this film from the announcement of Tom Hardy in the lead as Eddie Brock. He is one of my favorite actors working today and I really can not think of a performance I did…

Ant-Man and the Wasp

I was looking forward to another heist film set with superheroes. The first Ant-Man was such a change of pace and I love how within the Marvel studios they  have seemed to make some of their films sub-genre films. For example, Ant-Man was a heist film, Winter Soldier was a political Thriller. This follow up…

Incredibles 2

This is a Film that should have gotten a  green light way before we ever got a Cars 2 or 3 or that planes one they did. We pick up with our Incredible family as superheroes have been outlawed. Through a series of events Elastigirl is pick to help change that. We watch as Mr….

Deadpool 2

The Merc with the mouth is back for his second stand alone movie and I could not be more excited to dive into the fun. The first film was so refreshing and new and showed how much fun you can have with a character like this. Well, Deadpool 2 continues with the same feel of…

Avengers Infinity War

Marvel continues to prove to you that they are a powerhouse in the film industry. They know their properties so well and continue taking risks with every film. They took a risk with taking all of their characters and making them work together in one cohesive film. I was looking forward to seeing how they…

Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider was in need of a reboot in both the gaming world as well as on the big screen. We got an amazing reboot of the game that landed with its audience and I believed could easily be transferred to the big screen if all the pieces started to align. The first bit of…

Black Panther

Black Panther is a film that I was really looking forward to because one of my favorite actors was finally stepping out of a heroic role and into a role as a villain. In addition, I did enjoy our first look at the Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War so I wanted to see…

Thor Ragnarok

It’s time for the third installment for the Thor series. The Thor series has been underwhelming up to this point but after all of the marketing I have seen, it seems they have brought new life into this franchise. They brought it all together in this film! Think of them having a melting pot and…

Spider-man Homecoming

Spider-Man Homecoming had a big hill to climb with this being the third reboot in fifteen years. I was one who was feeling a little bit of spidery fatigue. However, I believe that Tom Holland will have people coming out to see what he can do. I believe he has breathed new life into this…

Wonder Woman

She has finally made it to the big screen! A film that generations of fans have been waiting for is finally here. The were a lot of eyes on this film, as the track record with the new D.C. universe has not had the best start. Films such as Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

  Well, James Gunn has done it again. We have gotten more of what we loved in the first film. The characters that we have learned to love were more flushed out in this sequel. There was a little more comedy peppered in to this one, but it was wonderfully used. They pick up answering…

Warcraft

Warcraft has been a movie that could be the turning point in making video game properties into great franchises in Hollywood. So, needless to say, this film had a lot riding on its shoulders. When it came down to opening night and the stage lights are bright, Warcraft seemed to stumble under the pressure. Looks…

X-Men : Apocalypse

  This franchise is back on its feet and these films just keep getting better and better. Even with them still phasing out the old cast and bringing in the younger cast they have found a wonderful way that works, services the overall story and develops the characters. The film is part of a series…

Captain America: Civil War

Is Marvel hitting another one out of the park? It would seem so but let us dive into this film and see how it comes out on the other side. This film is without a doubt visually stunning and the story is beautiful. If you are reading other reviews, you might have seen some Marvel…

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

I have been waiting for this film to come out for quite some time. (I am going to put out a general disclaimer now that I am a die-hard superman fan.) Going into this film I had a couple of concerns. Now, I must admit that my concerns are probably a little deeper than most…

Fantastic Four

If you’ve seen the Fantastic Four films from 2005, you’ve basically seen this one. I had really hoped this Fantastic Four would be different from those. I mean, the older movies had a better story line and a lot more action than this one. But they were still kind of, “eh”. The only time you see our…
