Black Widow certainly has some exciting action scenes, and some laugh-out-loud moments, not to mention some wonderfully staged explosions and chase scenes, but its execution on its villains is where the movie just simply falls flat.

While The Last Jedi wasn’t an absolute failure, it seemed to have caused a great deal of course-correcting when Rise of Skywalker, the finale of the trilogy, had started pre-production. Even leading up to the release of the film, it was made very clear that Rian Johnson made a few calls in his film that threatened the overall plot going into this ninth and final film.

Hobbs and Shaw, a spin-off of the Fast and Furious films, places the unlikely duo of the titular characters directly in the path of a chemical virus, doomed to destroy the world. It’s fun, its cheesy, and while some of its jokes either fall flat or go on for too long, it’s still a vastly entertaining film from start to finish.

Much of the early marketing given to Spider-Man: Far from home told us two things; Spider-Man would survive the events of Avenger’s Endgame, and that Mysterio would play a large part in the events surrounding the film. Later on, closer to its release, and of course, after Endgame had hit theaters, we found out that the death of Tony Stark would shake Peter’s world to its core.

Avenger’s Endgame is the 22nd film in a series that all started with 2008’s Iron Man. It is the culmination of a story weaved through many films central plots and merely danced upon in others. It’s a story that gets wrapped up almost perfectly in a way that will make you cheer, make you cry, and make you wonder about the future of the MCU.

While the story here differs a little from how it actually went down, it takes the key moments of his story and ties them into the dimension hopping hi-jinks of the Spider-Verse storyline, only with far less death and a much smaller cast.

While the film is immensely entertaining, especially for a character that is often the joke of the DC Universe, the acclaimed horror director strikes a fun balance of action, humor, and gives the character some much needed toughness and grit that translates to a more engaging character overall.

Sony chose to release Venom as a PG-13 rating, and the cuts required to do so are not only apparent in the film, but much of the tone required to make the film work is just not there. Venom is one of the worst superhero films in the last few years.

As history tends to repeat itself, Ant-man and Wasp, like its predecessor, releases just a few short months after a major Avengers film. While the story itself takes place before Thanos and the Avengers went toe to toe, I still strongly recommend watching Avenger's: Infinity War before you take in this fun-filled and very enjoyable sequel. 

Jurassic Park was a franchise that was destined to be popular. The technology to create that movie and the subsequent sequels that followed, allowed the child in all of us to be wowed by their realistic Dinosaurs and the worlds they would inhabit.

It's hard to imagine that the original Deadpool almost didn't happen. Its test footage "leak" was the catalyst to having Fox, who owns the movie rights to the character, finally knowing exactly what they had.

Ready Player One, is at its core, a celebration of pop culture. Whether it's movies, cartoons, video games, or old candy commercials, there is very little that escapes at least some sort of mention or visual cue during the 2 hour and 19 minute film.

During the entire build-up to Director Roar Uthaug's film reboot of Tomb Raider, many fans had brought up the original Angelina Jolie pair of films as a comparison, assuming those movies, on some level, served as a baseline of quality for future said comparisons.

We were given a small glimpse into the world of Black Panther during Captain America: Civil War just a few short years ago. While the character joined the cast in a small but effective supporting role, much occurred to lay the groundwork for his own feature film.

Star Wars is one of the most beloved franchises in history. The original three films are considered some of the most impressive science fiction movies of all time and that has led to a passionate fan base the world over.

The Justice League movie has been under a microscope since the very talk of it surfaced years ago. Whether it was the script, the casting, or that Zack Snyder was still directing it, every possible facet of the movie was criticized in one form or another.

Thor has probably been the most inconsistent Avenger thus far in terms of his own solo films. The first movie attempted to be a Shakespearean epic, while the following film, Thor: The Dark World, while having a few ok moments, didn't quite measure up when compared to the likes of the Iron Man and Captain America sequels.

I've seen the first Blade Runner movie maybe 3 or 4 times, and while I couldn't tell you exactly which cut of the movie it was, as it was years ago since I last saw it, I only vaguely remember it. However, I do recall the atmosphere, the set design, and just how visually impressive it was for the time.

When the original LEGO movie was first announced, many were skeptical as to whether or not the plastic block-building toy could translate well enough into a full-length motion picture film. Thankfully, the LEGO movie ended up being a huge success, mainly due to its characters, its humor, and its heart.

Kingsman: The Secret Service, was a standout film. It was cheeky, humorous, and action-packed, despite an eye-roller of a scene with the captive Swedish Princess during the finale of the film. Matthew Vaughn is back in the Director's (and writer's) chair and delivers a mostly painful sequel.
