After General Zod took over Kandor with Seg-El and Brainiac confined to the Phantom Zone in the finale of Krypton’s first season, it was a wonder to find out just how this unprecedented Superman prequel would continue from there.

Ant-Man and the Wasp – Sometimes Smaller is Better
After the universe-ending spectacle that was Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp serves as a great palette cleanser for audiences of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There’s no giant battle (the climax of the film is a car chase), the villain has no plans for world domination, and the stakes are smaller and more personal. Hope … Continue reading Ant-Man and the Wasp – Sometimes Smaller is Better
Deadpool 2 – The Action Soars While the Jokes Fall Flat
Is it possible to make an R-rated movie that seems catered to 12-year-olds? I don’t know, but Deadpool 2 certainly tries. Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) is a foul-mouthed, mutant mercenary who fights for what’s right but is never afraid to get his hands dirty, all while endlessly quipping and breaking the fourth wall. By nature, this … Continue reading Deadpool 2 – The Action Soars While the Jokes Fall Flat

Black Panther was an immediate worldwide … Continue reading To Infinity – Black Panther
To Infinity – Thor: Ragnarok
Ragnarok was left sitting in Marvel’s lot for a good while after The Dark World was released, and early concept images and logos for the film looked to be continuing with the same tone and look as the previous Thor films. When New Zealand director Taika Waititi came on board, all of that changed. Waititi … Continue reading To Infinity – Thor: Ragnarok
To Infinity – Spider-Man: Homecoming
It is a miracle in itself that Spider-Man was brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It really only became possible after Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man 2 turned out to be a complete disaster. Marvel Studios would learn from the mistakes of the past Spider-Man franchises, ensuring Homecoming would become the best Spider-Man story since Sam Raimi’s … Continue reading To Infinity – Spider-Man: Homecoming

Instead, Baby Groot takes center stage, joyously dancing around … Continue reading To Infinity – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
To Infinity – Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange is a very frustrating film. It sets itself apart from other Marvel films by being about the embracement of new ideas, the opening and expansion of the mind, and the rejection of all that we’ve known and thought before. It’s the spiritual over the physical, the teachings of Eastern ideals and philosophies as … Continue reading To Infinity – Doctor Strange
