I was so looking forward to this movie as black widow it one of my favourite superheroes, but I found it to be quite disappointing for a Marvel movie.



The film starts off great with a good backstory that tugs on your heartstrings.


Once the movie moved on from the backstory I found it to be very rushed and was a little confused as to what was going on.


I felt like three quarters of the film were just action scenes which yes are important in action movies, but it felt like too much of the movie was put into the action and not enough in the story which made it hard to get invest in the characters.


Overall the film was ok and enjoyable but I don’t plan to watch it again any time soon.

Ben Kingsley.

Trevor Slattery.

How you respond to how the former plays the latter in Iron Man 3 is, probably, a big part of how you'll react to this latest Marvel offering, with Kingsley reprising his role as Trevor Slatterly in what is essentially a buddy comedy.

Set in Hollywood, this follows aspiring actor Simon Williams who dreams of being cast as the titular Wonder Man in a remake of the 80s movie of the same name, but who also has secret - a secret that, in the world of the series, bars him from every getting an acting job again.

I didn't much care for The Mandarin twist in Iron Man 3, so was initially unsure about this.

It turned out to be better than I was expecting helped, no doubt, by the fact each episode of the 8-part series is only about 30minutes or so long.
