The Old Guard (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): A fairly refreshing superhero flick from Netflix
Netflix movie “The Old Guard”, which was released on last Friday, is a fairly refreshing superhero flick which actually tries a number of different things within its by-the-numbers origin story. While it is rather predictable at times, the movie is … Continue reading

“Dark Phoenix”, the last chapter for what was begun with “X-Men: First Class” (2011) and then continued with “X-Men: Days of Future Fast” (2014) and “X-Men Apocalypse” (2016), is messy and tedious to say the least. While merely trudging from … Continue reading

Thor: the Dark World (2013) ☆☆(2/4) : To be continued…
I usually think reviewing movie trailers is pretty ludicrous, but I seriously doubt that my review on “Thor: the Dark World”, the sequel to “Thor”(2011) and also one of the latest entries in the Marvel Comics mega-franchise, would be inappropriate … Continue reading
The Amazing Spider-man (2012) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A darker retelling of the same story
After watching “The Amazing Spider-man” during the last evening, I remembered a little comment from the twitter account of one South Korean movie critic. While not so specific about whether it was good or not, the critic said the movie … Continue reading
