REVIEW: Men in Black International
The Men in Black franchise has taken an odd path to get here – Barry Sonnenfeld’s first outing in 1997 was an excellent example of a blockbuster – it had tonnes of originality, excellent performances (and chemistry, using the mismatched buddy cop formula well, with…

REVIEW: Avengers: Endgame (2019)
If each month of every year had a gravestone, April 2019 would have “Part of the journey is the end” etched on it. The final season of Game of Thrones and Avengers: Endgame – the two biggest events of all time in their respective mediums….
The Infinity Saga Ranked
Whichever way you look at it, Avengers: Endgame – which drops this Thursday, people!! – is a milestone for cinema. And what better way to celebrate a milestone than to look back at the journey that brought us there. That’s what we’ve been doing here…
Avengers: Infinity War (2018): THE INFINITY SAGA
“Dread it, run from it,” Thanos was always going to arrive. The Russo Brothers say they see him as Genghis Khan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – but truthfully, as a villain, he’s an entirely new breed. In years, even decades, to come, antagonists in…
Thor: Ragnarok (2017): THE INFINITY SAGA

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015): THE INFINITY SAGA
I am back with you, friends, to again launch a defence of a much-maligned corner of the MCU – The Avengers: Age of Ultron. The difficult middle children of the MCU (Thor 2, Iron Man 2, Avengers 2 and possibly Guardians 2) are all generally…
Thor: The Dark World (2013): THE INFINITY SAGA
Easily the most maligned film in the MCU – I have heard many people say “All MCU films are good. Well, except The Dark World, obviously” – I am here, dear readers to launch a defence of the black sheep middle child of the Thor…
The Avengers (2012): THE INFINITY SAGA
Everything about The Avengers (or Avengers Assemble if you’re from the UK, but I’ll be referring to it as The Avengers) was a risk. A calculated one, but a risk nonetheless. What started in 2008 with Iron Man was about to reach its peak with…
