The Fantastic Four: First Steps marks the fifth live-action adaptation to date: there are two versions from 20th Century Fox in 2005 and 2007, a reboot in 2015, and let’s not forget the 1994 low-budget Roger Corman version that never saw the light of day. I’ve only seen the 2005 version, though the most memorable …

FlixChatter Review: THUNDERBOLTS* (2025) – a great mix of pathos + humor while still delivering fun action sequences. Florence Pugh is the clear MVP.

I’ve been feeling Marvel-ed out for some time, so I wasn’t exactly clamoring to see Thunderbolts*. This year has been especially packed with superhero movies, something I haven’t seen in a while. I guess the pendulum has swung back, so there’s suddenly a demand for big tentpole comic book movies. We’ve got Captain America: Brave …

FlixChatter Review – Captain America: Brave New World (2025) – neither daring nor fresh with flat and drab visuals

  The 35th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe marks the first Captain America film in the MCU without Steve Rogers as the titular character. The moment Rogers handed his shield to Sam Wilson in Avengers: Endgame (2019) is an emotional one, but Sam doesn’t officially become Captain America until the end of the 2021 …

I came into the Venom franchise quite late as I just didn’t care for it initially, despite being a big fan of Tom Hardy.

FlixChatter Review: Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)–a bloody bonkers action comedy energized by fiery bromance + mind-blowing cameos + uproarious one-liners

I have been feeling Marvel fatigue for some time and I’ve been relatively blasé around all the buzz surrounding Deadpool & Wolverine potentially shaking up the Marvel franchise. I haven’t read the comics, neither the Deadpool nor the X-Men ones, though I still distinctly remember my excitement when the first X-Men movie came out in …
