Something original
I remember seeing this at the cinema, what starts out as a simple plot does turn out to be more entertaining. I think the only problem I had was I worked out the twist quite early on, so it became quite predictable after that. Still an enjoyable film though and quite funny in places.

A pleasant surprise
Comic book heroes are far from being my thing but I found this film very entertaining. I liked it when Thor landed on the earth and the comedy that came with this, smashing the coffee cup on the floor and the language he uses. To me it stuck the right balance of comedy, romance, cgi and drama.

โ€œPyreโ€ demonstrates that video game designers may have much to gain by exploring the costs of achievement and the rewards of failure.

This movie is severely underrated. It's based on a comic by the same name, which is also amazing. It's a period piece set in the 1940s and has a pulp quality to it. It's a fun adventure movie, and it still holds up after all this time. This movie definitely does not need to be remade, and I hope it's not.

Iโ€™m nowhere near ready to take on the gameโ€™s hardest difficulty levels, but โ€œArmsโ€ is the first fighting game to pique my interest since โ€œSuper Smash Brosโ€ in 2014

Brillaint Slapstick Comic Horror
Enjoyable and silly, and by todays standards incredibly un-horrific.

Price sending up his entire oeuvre is arguably even better than when he is playing it straight.

Notable for raspberry jam, dodgy effects and a very, veeeery young Jack Nicholson.

Maybe a bit dated for modern tastes, but I love it and so did my kids ๐Ÿ˜Š
  
The only collection of the classic comic strip that isn't a home run. I think he was just sitting on what he had already created a little too much. It's still fun, but it's definitely not the best of the strip.

Darkwing teams up with his old nemesis Steelbeak to take down F.O.W.L. Or is it a trap? I found one part of the climax very out of place, even for Darkwing, but overall I enjoyed the next chapter in the comic series.

Hmm not heard of the character before? This just seemed like a comic book western for me with a quirky supernatural element. It has a good cast and while not being a bad film, it does feel like there is something missing? It could have been a lot better. It's very short and simple and has some ok action scenes, that's about it.
