So... a lot has happened since the first Aquaman movie - which we know, as there's a huge bit of exposition-y chat at the beginning here as Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) tells us all about his change of fortunes. From drifter to father, and oh yeah - King of Atlantis. That's going... not well, frankly. … Continue reading Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023)
Once upon a time, Chuck Bartowski had the intercept downloaded into his brain and became a super-spy ninja fighting machine. Now, imagine instead that a 14-year-old boy gets upgraded to a cross between Chuck and Superman...! We live in strange times: Marvel is getting darker by the second (looking at you, Infinity War) and with Shazam! … Continue reading Shazam! (2019)
If I say this is one of the best DC movies to date, to be honest that's not necessarily high praise. Still, it is praise: this was daft fun, if a bit messy.

And with this release, she not only gets her own backstory, but also makes a bit of history with the first female-led superhero movie. Usually I'm all about the entertainment, the story, the visuals, … Continue reading Wonder Woman (2017)
The trailer looked good. The critics disagreed. The question became: how bad is Suicide Squad? Not bad at all, in my opinion! It's definitely flawed, but going in with such low expectations (and ice cream! Improves any movie! ;)) there was a lot of fun to be had here. The premise: following the events in Batman v Superman … Continue reading Suicide Squad (2016)
