Take this as the massive cry for help it probably is. I’ve gone so long without being in a cinema that I’ve decided to revisit an older film that I know I don’t like all that much, purely because I’ve never actually reviewed it and it seemed timely. What with the long-awaited announcement of Zack…
I think enough time has now passed since the release of Joker last year to properly delve into some talking points, now being a comfortable time to start giving away the kind of spoilers that would see me flogged in the street immediately post-release, but now people have had time to watch, there is now time…
Birds of Prey, or to give it its full title: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) which you’ll understand if I don’t use again, is the latest instalment of the once-ridiculed DCEU (DC Cinematic Extended Universe. I say ‘once-ridiculed’ as for my money the franchise has been on a bit of a…
It’s not an understatement to call The Joker the greatest comic-book character of all time, at least in my opinion. What Batman lacks in personality, Joker makes up for in spades, not only that, but because of this character we’ve had some of the greatest portrayals of superhero cinema; names such as Jack Nicholson, Mark…
Since the DCEU started focusing on solo stories, I feel the franchise has been better for it, Wonder Woman was great, Aquaman was entertaining and now Shazam has come along to see if it can keep up the streak. Shazam has an interesting enough history even before considering the film adaptation, the hero was in…
Commenting on the DCEU on the internet is like poking a hungry lion with a stick, as there’s a good chance you might be eaten whole by a terrifying beast. There are several enthusiastic people on either side of the fence, people who defend the DCEU, and Zack Snyder in particular, and declare his work…
Sir Isaac Newton once said that: “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” But what did he know? He probably had concussion from sitting under apple trees, the silly sod. Basically what I’m trying to say is, last week I did the Top 10 Best Superhero Movies, so naturally I’m following it up with…
So, I don’t know whether you’ve noticed, but superhero films are quite popular at the moment. Shocking, I know, but they’re all over the place right now. With Marvel and DC both reliably churning out movies of varying quality, and given my longer editorial pieces like this tend to get more views, I thought it…
Back in the 2000’s, when I first started going to the cinema the big releases of Superhero movies were a rare commodity. The first one I remember seeing (baring in mind my memory is terrible, so it is possible I saw one beforehand) was 2005’s Batman Begins. I went with school and I really enjoyed…
I think I’ve put this off long enough. So, to recap, this follows the 2016 movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, a film I thought was okay but incredibly flawed and had the most divisive reception for any film I can remember and Wonder Woman, a movie I thoroughly enjoyed. Will Justice League be…
