The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Review

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Review

RYAN: This movie is extraordinary! It’s such a step up from the first one in this rebooted franchise.  I didn’t like that one for being released too soon after the Sam Raimi trilogy which was so fresh and fun.  But this one was a lot more enjoyable.  The comedy worked well.  It’s brighter too.  After ..

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Review

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Review

RYAN:Forget about Spring – Summer is here! This is a Summer blockbuster opening in Spring!  This movie is so amazing. I was blown away by it.  I liked it more than the first Captain America and more than both Thor movies.  It’s the smartest plot of any superhero movie. KIM: It really is brilliant.  The whole Marvel ..

RoboCop Review

RoboCop Review

RYAN: This is the new remake of RoboCop and since I barely remember the first one, I thought it appropriate to include you, Michael, in this review since you’re an uber-fan of the original.  I enjoyed this one because it has a great cast and is a sic-fi, superhero, action movie that raises a lot ..

Thor: The Dark World Review

Thor: The Dark World Review

RYAN: I liked this better than the first one because I actually liked this one.  The first one not so much.  Coming off The Avengers, I’m jiving more with this character.  Part of what I disliked so much in the first one – muddled with mythology, this one is gets to the plot a lot faster.  And ..

Kick-Ass 2 Review

Kick-Ass 2 Review

RYAN: This is finally here! I loved the first one and liked it better than this sequel, but Kick-Ass 2 is great as well.  It’s more of the same.  It’s an original tone – not straightforward superhero or comedy genre, but an R-rated mix of the two.  CHUCK: I wanted to but never saw the ..

The Wolverine Review

The Wolverine Review

  RYAN: We just saw The Wolverine starring The Hugh Jackman, who we love, and I am thrilled by this movie.  It’s a high quality action film.  Yes it’s a Marvel superhero movie, in the X-Men vein, but it’s more like a political thriller meets ninja movie.  It’s the best X-Men movie among the pack. ..

Man of Steel Review

Man of Steel Review

RYAN: This is the Superman reboot produced by Christopher Nolan, who directed The Dark Knight trilogy, and it’s also the great white hope of DC Comics to compete with Marvel’s Avengers in launching The Justice League.  And wow!  Mission accomplised.  Brilliant.  KIM: Agreed.  Being your resident Superman fan, he’s the all time greatest superhero, the ..

Iron Man 3 Review

Iron Man 3 Review

RYAN: I loved Iron Mans 1 and 2 and this is more of the same.  There’s such a sarcasm, brilliance and humor to this superhero; partly due to the genius of Robert Downey Jr., but also to the uniqueness of this franchise and I loved it.  KIM: It was so fabulous. I loved it even ..
