Bad Movies 9 – Howard the Duck
This blog post is late for several reasons. One, the first movie I watched didn’t turn out to be as hilariously bad as I hoped. It was just … boring. Two, even the second movie I watched wasn’t quite hilariously … Continue reading
Spider-Man movies 5 – Amazing Spider-Man 2
The most common complaint about Spider-Man 3 is that it’s overstuffed. It’s got too many villains, with Venom in particular feeling completely wasted. So what did they do with Amazing Spider-Man 2? They repeated the same mistakes, while seemingly focusing … Continue reading

There are a number of rumors behind why Sam Raimi didn’t get to direct Spider-man 4, and it’s possible there’s an element of truth in most of them. Let’s not get into that though, because I don’t want this to … Continue reading

With Spider-Man 2 being such a success, and still considered by many as among the greatest superhero films of all-time, excitement was sky high for the inevitable Spider-Man 3. As much as superhero movies suffered a bit in the mid-2000’s … Continue reading

Spider-Man movies 2 – Spider-Man 2
Immediately after Spider-Man 2002’s success, director Sam Raimi signed on for a sequel. A sequel that, to this day, many consider to be among the greatest superhero movies of all-time. Although it didn’t make quite as much money as the … Continue reading

Spider-Man movies 1 – Spider-Man
Spider-Man, from 2002, is actually the first superhero movie I saw from the early 2000’s superhero movie boom. Even before I saw it, I wanted to see this Spider-Man movie. While it didn’t necessarily spark my interest in superheroes in … Continue reading

MCU Movies 27 – Spider-Man: No Way Home
I wasn’t all that impressed with the first three MCU movies that released in 2021. Black Widow was my favourite of the three, but it was held back by Scarlett Johansson looking kind of bored, Black Widow being a background … Continue reading

Fantastic Four month 4 – Fan4stick
Nope, I’m not giving this movie the dignity of calling it by its actual title. It doesn’t deserve it. After Rise of the Silver Surfer disappointed at the box office (despite still making a profit), 20th Century Fox waited until … Continue reading

Fantastic Four month 3 – Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Of the three attempts at starting a Fantastic Four film series, only one ever got a sequel. Today, we’re looking at Rise of the Silver Surfer, which in many ways is an improvement over its predecessor. That basically makes this … Continue reading

Fantastic Four month 2 – Fantastic Four (2005)
A lot of people think of Chris Evans as Captain America. After all, that is his most well-known movie role, and he’s very good in the role. That said, I’ve got several friends who never quite saw Evans as Captain … Continue reading
