REVIEW Justice League (2017)

Fair warning: considerable spoilers follow – read after watching.

If you know anything about me, you’ll know that I’m a fan of superheroes. I read Marvel and DC comic books by the truckload, religiously follow every superhero show on television and streaming, and have watched every superhero film released since 2008’s Iron Man at least twice. Seriously. I just rewatched every Marvel Cinematic Universe film ahead of Thor: Ragnarok.

REVIEW Stranger Things 2 (2017)

Fair warning: considerable spoilers follow – read after watching.

Among the many, many, MANY criticisms of Ghostbusters 2 – the 1989 sequel to the legendary supernatural comedy – maybe the most damning is that it had no teeth. Consider the hallmarks of the original: the sequel lacks the biting comedic (and somewhat satirical) tone, and trades in the spooky Zuul and the ominous Stay Puft Marshmallow Man for a kinda-creepy painting and some animated goo powered by the collective negativity of the city.

REVIEW Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Fair warning: considerable spoilers follow – read after watching.

Like most fans (I guess) of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it would be fair to say that Thor’s solo movies were – until now – my least favourite of the various MCU solo movies, mired by dull plotting, a bland main character, and fairly uninspired action sequences that didn’t really offer anything too new in terms of visuals.
