It certainly wasn’t bad word of mouth, that led to Ant-Man having the lowest domestic box office opening ($58m) since The Incredible Hulk, before the Marvel Mania kicked in. While it didn’t receive obnoxious raves, Ant-Man received good solid reviews indicating that it was a good movie despite the odds. Every person I saw on…

This is not a review for the season, not yet at least. Life got in the way and as a result I wasn’t able to binge all of Daredevil this weekend like I had hoped. That said, I have watched the first 7 episodes so far and have some very distinct opinions and thoughts on…
Enjoy your break. This is the easy yar when it comes to blockbuster superhero films. Unlike the coming years, there are only 3 superhero movies. Yes, count them, one, two, three. There are no more and that means that for a change we’ve got a relatively low count of comic book movies. So let’s get…

The humor on this show is far more dry than most Marvel shows. Under less capable hands Peggy closing the window on the young man sneaking in to see his gal would have been bland. However, Peggy’s lack of amusement and indifference was handled in a way that I could help, but let out a…
The Marvel Cinematic Universe began with just Iron Man. It as a an attempt by a fledgling studio to break into the movie business where they could control their own property. No one knew if it was going to be successful. No one knew if it would be repeatable. However, it was and from that…
Hayley Atwell is right at home in her portrayal of Peggy Carter. She has fun and manages to deliver the severity of the position that she is in. She’s a strong woman with a lot of pride and honor. She handles the boys well, whether that is putting them in their place, or letting them…
