Spider-Man: Far From Home Review – A Better Teen Movie Than Superhero Flick (Rating: 7/10)

The weight of Avengers: Endgame is a heavy burden on the shoulders of Spider-Man: Far From Home, and I seriously don’t envy director Jon Watts for having to follow arguably the largest film event of a generation. It’s not as though Spider-Man as a character can’t generate enough hype by himself – particularly after the surprise critical and commercial success of Into The Spider-Verse – but within the … Continue reading Spider-Man: Far From Home Review – A Better Teen Movie Than Superhero Flick (Rating: 7/10)

Avengers: Endgame Review – A Sweeping Sendoff For The Franchise (Rating: 8/10)

(This review is free of major spoilers) As a critic, it’s incredibly tough to talk about Avengers: Endgame in a way that genuinely critiques the film, putting aside fan culture, dramatic reactions, and any surrounding controversies. This is a task you must undertake to review any film, but in this case, when the movie in question is being referred to as a ‘cultural event’ and a … Continue reading Avengers: Endgame Review – A Sweeping Sendoff For The Franchise (Rating: 8/10)

Ant-Man And The Wasp Review – Small Scale In More Ways Than One (Rating: 7/10)

Having not seen the original Ant-Man, or many other Marvel movies for that matter, I didn’t go into the sequel with many expectations. All I knew is that Infinity War was on an enormous scale, and that it would have likely been a poor choice for Marvel to make another similar movie so soon after. They didn’t, and I am grateful that Ant-Man And The Wasp is the … Continue reading Ant-Man And The Wasp Review – Small Scale In More Ways Than One (Rating: 7/10)

Deadpool 2 Review – Funny, But More of the Same (Rating: 6/10)

If I had seen Deadpool 2 without having seen the first back in 2016, I definitely would have given it a higher rating. However, despite a lot of the jokes landing for me, the whole premise felt a little staler, and some of the meta-excuses for a below average plot felt less novel and more cheap. This is definitely because of the success and subsequent ubiquity … Continue reading Deadpool 2 Review – Funny, But More of the Same (Rating: 6/10)

Avengers: Infinity War Review – A Bold, Entertaining Adventure (Rating: 8/10)

A quick disclaimer for Marvel fans about to read this review: I have only seen two other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy, both fairly recently). Therefore, this whole review is very much addressing Infinity War from the perspective of an outsider looking in, and I’m in particular critiquing the film on how effectively it serves as a stand-alone … Continue reading Avengers: Infinity War Review – A Bold, Entertaining Adventure (Rating: 8/10)
