Murphy (5 KP) rated Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) in Movies
Jul 11, 2017
Spidey is finally following the Marvel formula
If you're hoping for a perfect movie, brace yourself for disappointment.
If you want to see a Spider-Man movie as close to how it should be as possible, this should make you happy.
The movie was a blast. Good fun. Great cast.
My biggest complaint was the suit. It was a little too IronMan for my tastes.
The groundwork is set, Spider-Man is back home where he belongs...and little teases about the direction of the franchise are scattered throughout for the observant nerd.

The best Wolverine film by far
This is the Wolverine film we've all been waiting for, and this is the kind of film they should've made to begin with (instead of the Origins etc).
This is a very fitting final outing for Wolverine. I loved the violence, it's refreshing to see a more adult Marvel film for a change - possibly taking it's lead from Deadpool? Some great turns from Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart too. My only complaint would be that the film gets a bit repetitive - Wolverine goes somewhere to hide out, gets found, fights, moves on - could've done without this quite so many times.

Fun to watch but nothing special
This is predictable beyond belief. As are most comic book films. A doctor has a big predicament (there's always some trouble at the beginning) and then has to become all-powerful to overcome this. Literally that's pretty much the entire storyline - it's not particularly intelligent. That being said, the graphics are pretty stunning, the scenes showing Benedict Cumberbatch running from one dimension to another is absolutely breathtaking. It feels on a higher scale than other Marvel films in terms of cinematography.
AT (1676 KP) rated The Punisher - Season 2 in TV
Feb 2, 2019
I love the Punisher! I loved season 1. We just finished binging season 2, which I also liked a lot. However, without giving spoilers, it had a completely different feel than the first season. There were a couple of elements in the second season that I could have done without, or at least with changes, but overall, I still fully enjoyed it. I'm glad the show didn't get cancelled the way some of the other Marvel shows on Netflix did. However, if it does at this point, I would still feel like things had been completed. Hopefully they'll throw a third season at us, though!

When I grow up, I want to be Hit Girl!
I really like this film, and I’ve watched it more than once! It’s very cartoonish in its delivery, and that’s just fine by me! Although that is kind of counteracted by the extreme violence and the language (I have to admit that I laughed A LOT when Hit Girl uses the ‘C’ word - I think that’s a British thing, possibly ??♀️) .
I’ve no doubt this will get watched again in my house - I have two teenaged boys who have been brought up in a house of graphic novels and superhero/ Marvel/ DC movies, so it’s a strong likelihood!

David McK (3372 KP) rated X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) in Movies
Apr 26, 2019
Third entry in the 'new' X-men series (that started with the 60s set First Class, then had the cross-generational Days of Future Pay bringing both sets of X-men into the one film), so probably about sixth overall (or seventh if you included the spin offs), this is set in an alternate 1980s and is actually surprisingly unengaging.
Unlike the time travel shenanigans of the previous film (and the Sentinels), Wolverine only makes a cameo in this while the 'big bad' is actually the worlds first mutant who - in the prologue - gets buried in ancient Egypt.
Unlike the Marvel universe films, however, Quicksilver survives in this!

Amazing Finish
This is a an amazing movie and worth the three hour time frame. It is the epic ending that the infinity series deserved. The storytelling was absolutely breath taking, just watching it brought back memories from watching all of these characters grow and develop over this past decade. I highly recommend seeing it and to watch all 21 marvel movies if you already haven't seen them. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will experience many emotions before the end of this movie. I feel you all will not regret going to see this movie. As Stan Lee always used to say, Excelsior my fellow fans.

Well I loved this film. I’m aware it was really long, but it seemed to pass very quickly. I was happy with the way it went with various characters (I don’t want to give it away!) and I loved how all of the marvel superheroes were tied in to the story. I can see they’re likely to be ‘bigging up’ the female characters in future films, and that’s no bad thing at all.
I’m just sad that it seems to have come to an end for some characters, but I suppose they can’t play those roles forever.
I AM looking forward to a new Guardians of the Galaxy though!

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Iron Man 2 (2010) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Iron Man 2 was incredibly over-hyped, simply because of the stunning performance of its predecessor. Sequels are rarely better than the original and this is a fine example of that. Jon Favreau lost his way a little with this one as we get to see an immensely dislikable Tony Stark frolic his way through the first half.
Whiplash, the film’s main villain, is catastrophically underdeveloped and one of the MCU’s worst, despite an entertaining performance from Mickey Rourke. Thankfully, the special effects are good and the finale, while derivative, is fun and very well filmed.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated The Avengers (2012) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Avengers Assembled is a film filled with amazing performances, great special effects and fantastic direction from long-time comic-book fan, Joss Whedon. He manages to craft a great film and considering the size of the cast, that’s no easy feat.
It lets itself down throughout the finale in which the audience is subjected to a Transformers-style alien invasion across New York City that could have been lifted straight out of any Michael Bay-directed flick. A great end to Phase One of the MCU, but not the classic everyone remembers it being.
