Thor: Love and Thunder
Published on
The first two standalone Thor movies didn’t do the character much good. Widely considered to belong to the lower echelon of Marvel movies, hopes were not high when Thor: Ragnarok was announced. But director Taika Waititi did something new with the character and the world around him: make it actually fun to watch. After the…

Captain Marvel
Published on
Of all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Captain Marvel is probably the most aggressively marketed movie. Not in terms of shear marketing amount, but rather by a sly old trick often used in comic books. Have an existing popular comic book continue in a more obscure or new comic so readers will have…

Eternals
Published on
My knowledge of Marvel Comics characters is a bit more substantial than the average person since I read a lot of comics during the late 80s and early 90s, but Eternals is an unknown property to me. I was always more into the more grounded stuff like Spider-man, X-men and Avengers. The cosmic side of…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Published on
This year James Gunn reinvigorated the Suicide Squad in the sequel/reboot of the movie with the same name. I love his work on that movie and it shows what an R-rated James Gunn comic book movie looks like. But the only reason he got to work on this DC property, aside from some old tweets,…

Minoes
Publicatiedatum:
Minoes begint met een scene zoals we die doorgaans kennen uit horrorfilms. Een vat met gevaarlijke chemicaliën valt van een vrachtwagen af en belandt in de natuur. Een kat die in de buurt van het voorval is komt in aanraking met het goedje en ondergaat een behoorlijke verandering. Deze kat verandert echter niet in een…

X-Men: Dark Phoenix
Published on
I think Deadpool said it best in his first movie: “These timelines are so confusing”. The reboot of the X-men series started out very good with X-men: First Class. The inclusion of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in a cameo tied this movie firmly to the existing X-men franchise. It turned the reboot into a prequel….

Critters Attack!
Published on
For me, one of 2019’s most surprising moments was the release of the trailer for Critters Attack! It seemingly came out of nowhere as I had no idea this movie was even in production. Even more surprising is the fact that this movie is actually a direct sequel to the previous four Critters movies. Not a…

Guardians of the Galaxy
Published on
Upon its release Guardians of the Galaxy was a bit of the odd duckling of the MCU. It was also a fresh approach to Marvel movies at the same time. Instead of focusing on just one character, Guardians of the Galaxy focuses on a group of characters. Most of them not even human. Instead of…

The Transformers: The Movie
Published on
As a young boy in the 80s I grew up on shows like He-Man, Transformers, M.A.S.K. and G.I. Joe. Saturday morning cartoons that were basically twenty minute toy adverts. Not that I saw it that way when I was eight years old. To me those were all just cool cartoons. Cartoons which just so happened…

Bumblebee
Published on
Bumblebee is the first movie in the Transformers franchise not to be directed by Michael Bay. Bay helmed no less than five Transformers movies, each installment worse than the previous. The first movie was okay, even if the robots didn’t look much like the characters people over 35 grew up with. But there were enough…

Critters 4
Published on
Critters 4 was shot back to back with Critters 3 just like Back to the Future parts 2 and 3. Like Back To The Future part 2, Critters 3 also ends with a cliffhanger. Bounty hunter Charlie is ordered to put the last two remaining Crite eggs into a pod for preservation. Critters 4 picks…

Critters 2
Published on
When movie studio New Line Cinema has a low budget hit on their hands they know how to milk it. The studio was basically built on the Nightmare on Elm Street movies they put out almost each year from 1984 to 1991. It’s why New Line Cinema is often dubbed “The house that Freddy built”….
