I’m still not totally sure we’ll ever get back to the MCU as we once knew and loved it, though this isn’t a bad place to start. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” is the 32nd film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the final installment of the titular trilogy.

They say lightning never strikes the same place twice, but surely if anyone can buck that trend it’s the God of Thunder… right? “Thor: Love and Thunder” is the fourth film of the “Thor” franchise and the 29th in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (fatigued yet?). Chris Hemsworth reprises the titular role, alongside Christian Bale, Tessa… Continue reading ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Review: A Thunderous Disappointment

Just let Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson co-host the Oscars already, it’s long overdue. “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” is a standalone sequel to the 1995 cult hit that starred Robin Williams. This time, instead of the board game coming into the real-world, four teens are transported into the jungles of Jumanji (now a video… Continue reading ‘Jumanji’ Sequel May Not be Necessary, but it’s Pretty Fun

We’re nine years into the MCU, and Marvel fatigue is in full effect. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” is the sequel to the 2014 surprise hit and features Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper returning as the misfit titular group. This time around, they must outrun a planet’s army… Continue reading ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ One of Marvel’s Weaker Outings
