Review – MCU – The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Spoiler Free Thoughts and Review The Incredible Hulk seems to be a really hard hero to get right for movies.  He's had a few of them and even a live action TV series in the 80s.  The Incredible Hulk is sort of the redheaded stepchild of the MCU.  It came out just after Iron Man.  It's technically sort of part of the MCU, but no one really remembers or cares that it's part of the MCU.  Part of this confusion is the change in actors from the movie and his next appearance in The Avengers.  They traded out Edward Norton…

Review – Movie – Warcraft (2016)

I have to say, I was pretty excited to see the Warcraft movie.  I don't currently play World of Warcraft but I got pretty deep into the game in recent years.  I played all of the original Warcraft games back in the day as well, especially Warcraft 2.  I also enjoy films such as The Lord of the Rings, which kind of felt like the same idea, a large sweeping epic. Ultimately, I ended up really let down by this movie.  I'm not sure that it's really a bad movie, it's just not particularly amazing, despite the pretty impressive visuals. …

Review – Movie – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows

So, the first Michael Bay Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action movie kind of got a lot of flack.  To be fair, though, it's not actually directed by Michael Bay, it's just produced, so it's not as awful of a live action remake as The Transformers movies are, it was however quite a departure from what people think of when they think Ninja Turtles. The second film in this series is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, and it seems to be the answer to what a lot of people wanted and expected from the first movie.  Where…

Review – Movie – Logan (2017)

The latest and supposedly last outing for Wolverine, or at least, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Logan is one of the better comic book movies we've had for sure, though not totally flawless.  Most of my complaints with this movie however stem more from how sloppy Fox has been with the X-men universe continuity, and not so much with the film itself.  Much like the previous Wolverine movie, The Wolverine, this film pretty much exists in a vacuum from the other movies in the series.  There's a vague underlying theme about how awful Logan's existence is because, while he never dies,…

Review – Movie – The Wolverine

I'm feeling a little lost on the logic behind the X-Men movies, just a bit.  I mean there's the original X-men trilogy, then there's the new timeline X-men, then there's these Wolverine movies sprinkled in.  The Wolverine definitely takes place after X-men 3, since there's these little flashes of Famke Janssen as Jean Grey and references to X-men 3.  What it doesn't really reference at all is Origins: Wolverine, which is sort of the actual predecessor film.  Actually aside from the few almost unneeded references to X3, The Wolverine feels really isolated from the rest of the X-men universe.  The…
