Shazam! (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): A goofy lightweight superhero movie
“Shazam!”, the latest installment from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), is a lightweight superhero movie as funny and goofy as expected from its silly promise, and that is surely a nice fresh change compared to the grim ponderousness of “Batman … Continue reading
Captain Marvel (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Meet Captain Marvel
“Captain Marvel”, the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is alternatively familiar and refreshing. Although it is your typical superhero origin story, there are a number of nice changes and variations for distinguishing itself from many other recent … Continue reading
Aquaman (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Aquaman Cometh
If “Aquaman” came 10 years ago, I would probably be more generous to it. Sure, it has several spectacular sequences to be enjoyed on a big screen, and it has more sense of fun and humor compared to that solemn … Continue reading
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): More than just one Spider-Man
To be frank with you, I did not have much expectation on Sony animation feature film “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”. Besides Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy in the 2000s, there were “The Amazing Spider-Man” (2012) and its 2014 sequel, and then … Continue reading
Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Teen Titans go to Hollywood
To be frank with you, I do not know much about TV animation series “Teen Titans Go!” except that it is based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name, but I can surely tell you that its … Continue reading
Incredibles 2 (2018) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): The family back in action
“Incredibles 2”, which is a long-awaited sequel to “Incredibles” (2004), is as fun and exciting as its predecessor. Although its story and characters are understandably a bit less fresh in comparison, it does not lose any sense of fun and … Continue reading
Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Ant-Man returns – with his partner
While looking relatively modest compared to other recent Marvel Comics Universe (MCU) movies, “Ant-Man and the Wasp” is a solid lightweight fun. Although it initially takes some time as trying to juggle many different story elements together during its first … Continue reading
Deadpool 2 (2018) ☆☆(2/4): Cynical, irreverent, and tiresome as before
Whether you will like “Deadpool 2” or not depends on how much fun you had with “Deadpool” (2016). Unlike many others, I did not enjoy “Deadpool” much while also quite annoyed by its increasingly obnoxious self-conscious attitude, so I became … Continue reading
Avengers: Infinity War (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): An ambitious but mixed cliffhanger
“Avengers: Infinity War”, the 19th feature film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), attempts to be a big, ambitious cliffhanger for whatever will come in the next year, but it does not entirely work well as trying to juggle too … Continue reading
Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): Behind Wonder Woman
It is no secret that there are indeed kinky aspects in Wonder Woman, one of the most famous superheroes in the American comic book history. Look at many obviously fetishistic elements such as her famous lasso of truth, and you … Continue reading
