Doesn't beat the 1st installment
Another Awesome Marvel Movie
Marvel seem to have what it takes to beat down DC comics attempts to make a good movie. No matter which director lands the job of making a MCU film, the job is 90% of the time a massive success (not including the the first 2 fantastic 4 movies, they were dreadful). Although this film had us laughing from the beginning right through til the end, volume 2 doesn't quite match the arse kicking first one. With some pretty big names making their appearance, Guardians Of the Galaxy: volume 2 does kinda fill the void while we all wait for the next marvel release: Thor: Ragnarok.

Minimal crystal collection
Fun mobile game.
I have played this game for over 3 years, so it clearly keeps you engaged and coming back for more. The game play is very good and it really brings a lot of Marvel characters to life and not just the more famous characters. The game does a really good job of keeping up with all the Marvel TV shows/films/comics, with the updates to characters, uniforms and storylines.
The only major downfall to the game is over the years that have hidden more and more characters behind paywalls and unless you are a very patient player the collection of crystals can be a grind.
All in all though this is probably one of the best mobile games I have ever played.

Kaz (232 KP) rated Captain Marvel (2019) in Movies
Jun 8, 2019
I'm a fan of the Marvel films (I've never read any of the comics), but I have felt that of late, they have been a bit formulaic. Although 'Captain Marvel' does deliver on some of those things that you expect from a Marvel film, it gives the viewer something different.
Captain Marvel portrayed a strong, but also likable woman and I really liked the empowering message this film sends across.
I really enjoyed the twists and unexpected turns this film has. Captain Marvel's origin story wasn't told in a linear way and I think that this made a refreshing change from how Marvel uses an entire film to explore this. We were drip fed some of the details within the action itself, which left you trying to work everything out for yourself.
There are some great action sequences in this and generally, this was very exciting. I loved the interactions between Captain Marvel, Nick Fury and particularly, the cat!
I also enjoyed the 90's references, it reminded me of my teenage years ( but it also made me feel a bit old too!).
My only negative observations would be that, although I liked that Captain Marvel's origin story was told in a different way, I found it to be a little confusing at times. I also thought that the first half an hour was a little bit slow.
However, this picked up and ended up being a really enjoyable film. I look forward to seeing 'Captain Marvel' in future Marvel films.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Red Wolf: Man Out of Time in Books
Feb 11, 2018
Red Wolf was the best character to come out of the 1872 collection of comics during Warzones. Of course, 'Man Out of Time' has been used to describe Cap in the past (by Loki in Avengers), but it fits Red Wolf as well. I was disappointed that this was a one volume and done, because I liked it enough to want to read on. Marvel always cancels my favs.

miss use of characters
dodgy plot
Hit and miss start to a roller coaster series
At the time my excitement for a blockbuster Marvel film was off the chart waiting for this film, in the end it never really delivered. It does a decent job of introducing a cinema audience to these superheroes but I think for the fans of Marvel comics it left us slightly disappointed. There was some excellent casting choices made in Jackman, Stewart, McKellen and Ashmore, however some of the other choices were terrible. This could have been the start of something so much however in reality was probably a high point in an overall disappointing series of films.

Lots of action scenes (1 more)
Very good SFX
Packs a punch
Well one compliment I can give this is it feels more like a Marvel film. Apart from Aquaman, Wonder Woman many DC offerings have not matched the Marvel level. I can't say I've heard of any of the characters before, don't know much of the comics. This feels like a film where you should have already seen some of the characters in another film.
There is a ton of action scenes and plenty of carnage in a fairly straightforward of good vs evil but this time with a God like character who will use violence against the enemy.
It's a very enjoyable film overall if not anything ground breaking in the superhero collection.

Chris Grady (0 KP) rated Thor: Ragnarok (2017) in Movies
Feb 8, 2018
Thor: Rargnarok took the best parts of a couple different Marvel Comics storylines, fused them together into an 80's buddy action comedy movie.
If you apperciated the tone of GotG, like Thor but not his movies you'll love this. Of the 17 films in the franchise this one is in the top half.
I am glad Hulk's Warbond, though not called as such in the film, survived. Hope to see more of Kord and Miek, maybe even a spin off of there own.

Universally hated film is not as bad as they say
I was expecting this to be absolute pony from the reviews and so bad it would make my eyes melt considering all the reviews, however it's not that bad. Controversial I know and I know some of the Marvel fanboys will say it breaches all continuity of the comics etc but I don't care, all I want is an entertaining film and I was entertained and enjoyed it.
LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Ghost Rider (2007) in Movies
Jun 28, 2019 (Updated Jun 28, 2019)
Just...so bad
Ghost Rider was one of the many terrible Marvel adaptions that were unleashed upon us before Marvel Studios started the MCU, and for me, this is easily one of the worst.
There's just nothing to really get excited about here - the cast is pretty dodgy (I appreciate Nicholas Cages general existence, but he's such a bad fit for Johnny Blaze), Eva Mendes is pretty forgettable, and Wes Bentley plays a hugely generic villain - a far cry from the demonic Blackheart from the comics.
It's quite obvious that any meaningful script or basic plot were put second behind attempts at flashy shots.
The CGI has aged pretty badly as well, with Ghost Rider himself looking like something from a PS3 era cutscenes, rather than a big budget superhero film.
I can't wait for a proper Ghost Rider adaption to happen within the MCU in the future (Agents of Shield made a pretty good start) but unfortunately, Johnny Blaze was one of the many Marvel characters that got a piss poor movie around this time.
