Spider-Man: No Way Home (’21 review)
5 outta 5 Spider-Man: No Way Home is a culmination of not only the Spider-Man story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but also a full-on victory lap for all the Spider-Man movies. Considering the series kicked off with 2002’s Spider-Man and spawned about a dozen different films, that is a remarkably deep well to pull…

Spider-Man: Far From Home (’19 review)
4 outta 5 Spider-Man: Far From Home is technically the 8th Spider-Man film (or 9th, give or take a Venom) and Far From Home proves he is still a viable character.

1 outta 5 When I sat down to watch Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, I thought “Okay, Director Tim Story, try and wow me.” This was a cynical response to having suffered through the original Fantastic Four movie. However, shockingly, the opening of this sequel immediately wowed me. The first shot involves a…

The Incredible Hulk (2008 review)
3 outta 5 2003’s Hulk was darkly psychological, gleefully weird, and something of a failure. So now, The Incredible Hulk is Marvel’s newest take on the big green machine and much more commercially palatable. This Hulk is also kind of uneven, but not in the bug-eyed crazy way its predecessor was. Instead, Incredible Hulk has…
