| Logan | 2017 | 98 | 1 | (full review) - After the early press screening of LOGAN, I once again joined some of The Black Tribbles in an episode of | | X-Men: Days of Future Past | 2014 | 97 | 2 | (full review) | | Avengers: Age of Ultron | 2015 | 93 | 3 | (full review) - AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON allows for more than just action sequence after action sequence. Although those are great too, particularly Iron Man trying to tame one of The Hulk's out of control rampages, but what makes the movie really work is the exploration of the character's relationships, interactions, trusts, mistrusts, powers, and weaknesses. | | Captain America: Civil War | 2016 | 84 | 4 | (full review) - Most of the movie is very serious minded except for humorous battles scene which pits Avenger against Avenger, yet loving these characters as I do, it's actually the hardest part to take. | | X-Men: Apocalypse | 2016 | 80 | 5 | (full review) - The make-up and costume on En Sabah Nur wasn't quite right, nor was Isaac's interpretation of the character - instead of menacing, intimidating and omnipotent ruler, I was getting grumpy, ill tempered Muppet. However, it doesn't ruin the movie for me, it may not be the strongest X-men feature, but still satisfying to me. That Night Crawler is a handy Mutant to have around! | | Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | 2016 | 75 | 6 | (full review) - I was very engaged with the entire movie. Thought it was visually artistic, the philosophical and politically relevant plots were well written. Loved when Superman gave Batman the cut out the vigilante crap speech, accompanied by a menacing warning look, before shooting straight up like a rocket. Then we cut to Batman giving his signature under-eyed masked stare, which clearly said, Superman, you're not the boss of me. | | Fantastic Four | 2015 | 65.6 | 7 | (full review) - Yes, the movie is three parts build up/origins story, it does take a long time before they get or use their powers, but it's not boring or badly handled. It sets out to establish the team as friends and family, while attempting to make the Quantum Physics plausible and relatable. The thing that is missing from the movie is the trademark Marvel, laugh out loud humor. | | Man of Steel | 2013 | 47.6 | 8 | (full review) - This Superman Reboot, Man of Steel produced by Christopher Nolan, and scripted by David S. Goyer, directed by Zack Snyder embodies all of these essential elements with an emphasis on the alien part of things. The first perhaps 20 minutes of the film is spent on Krypton with Kal-El's parents Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and Lara Lor-Van (Ayelet Zurer), just hours before the complete destruction of the planet. They've just given birth to their son the old-fashioned way, where everyone else on Krypton is genetically engineered in pods to be whatever they are engineered to be, without choice. |
