Review |
Deadpool | 2016 | 97 | 1 | - Just an incredibly fun time at the theaters! |
Captain America: The Winter Soldier | 2014 | 90 | 2 | - One of the best Marvel movies ever! |
Avengers: Age of Ultron | 2015 | 83 | 3 | - An improvement over the first one. 'Age of Ultron' stays much truer to the comics. |
Captain America: Civil War | 2016 | 82 | 4 | - Another solid installation to the Avengers franchise, though it doesn't quite reach the bar set by 'The Winter Soldier'. |
AVENGERS, The | 2012 | 80 | 5 | - Your typical superhero blockbuster. The movie juggles such a large cast somewhat cumbersomely and resorts to cheeky humor when it doesn't know what else to do. |
Chronicle | 2012 | 79 | 6 | (full review) - Holds it own even in the ubiquitous 'Found Film' genre. A film that sort of came out of nowhere that is definitely worth your time. |
X2: X-Men United | 2003 | 78 | 7 | - It does what a sequel should: it builds off the original story. This is not a new adventure for this band of Marvel Superheroes, but rather the same adventure extended. |
Fantastic Four | 2015 | 77 | 8 | - It's a solid attempt to bring back the Fantastic Four franchise. The real question is did we need this film just eight years after the last one? |
Spider-Man | 2002 | 77 | 8 | - A functional origin story. |
X-Men | 2000 | 77 | 8 | - A pretty decent origin story. |
X-Men: The Last Stand | 2006 | 76 | 11 | - It's very much in step with the first two, but I'd have to say, push come to shove, it's also the weakest of the three. |
Spider-Man 2 | 2004 | 75 | 12 | - Some cringeworthy acting aside, it's alright. |
Captain America (1990) | 1990 | 70 | 13 | - Too cliche to be really good. |
Captain America: The First Avenger | 2011 | 70 | 13 | - Too cliche to be really good. |
Spider-Man 3 | 2007 | 70 | 13 | - There's just not a lot here to get excited about, sorry to say. |
Thor | 2011 | 70 | 13 | - It tries to be an origin story of sorts for Thor, but let's call this what it really is: a half-hearted attempt a prologue to set up the final character for the 'Avengers' movie. |
X-Men: Apocalypse | 2016 | 70 | 13 | - Whether it be Star Wars or The Hobbit or now X-Men, the decision is unanimous: these prequel trilogies never break out of the shadow of the originals. |
Matrix, The | 1999 | 69 | 18 | - It aims to be the ultimate sci-fi fantasy flick, but attains only mixed results. |
X-Men: Days of Future Past | 2014 | 69 | 18 | - A star-studded cast, yes...and the weirdest addition to this franchise to date. |
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | 2016 | 68 | 20 | - It doesn't even stand up on its own let alone in the shadow of Christopher Nolan's magnificent trilogy. |
Amazing Spider-Man, The | 2012 | 67 | 21 | - Why, WHY was this made? Was the superhero genre not saturated enough let alone Spiderman as a franchise itself? |
Limitless | 2011 | 64 | 22 | - Maybe this movie should take one of those pills because it's not nearly as smart as its main character is. |
Green Lantern | 2011 | 62 | 23 | - As much as I like Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, this film could have been way better. One of those classic cases where a decent concept falls victim to the high-end effects of Hollywood. |
Man of Steel | 2013 | 58 | 24 | - How a duo of geeky gurus like Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder managed to make such a disappointment has to be one of the biggest surprises of the year in movies. |
Thor: The Dark World | 2013 | 45 | 25 | - It'd almost be better if it were a parody rather than an honest attempt at a sequel. |
Immortals | 2011 | 36 | 26 | - Imagine 300 with even less plot, poorer acting, and worse direction. |
