Brie Larson shines, finally bringing a female lead story to the forefront of the MCU - with a subtle, wry wit, in a story with more than a few surprises.
A pioneer film, Donner chose to elevate the story and character of Superman to the highest level, with a great understanding of how to build up a hero and the choices it takes.
Another rare case of the sequel being better than the first film, Singer executes almost flawlessly, bringing to bear great storywriting and characterization of mutants in our world.
This cult favorite is a much better, much more accurate version of Dredd, in a gorgeously shot, violent romp featuring a malevolant Lena Headey as a solid villian.
A fantastic extension of the first movie, this one builds off the last and emotionally creates a great springboard to feel the true weight of being a hero and paying the price.
This movie exceeded my expectations - Joe makes the absolute right choices: making this a period piece, making skinny Steve Rogers believable and allowing great insight into what makes this hero. The last half of the movie suffers some timing issues but it's a great launchpad.
RDJ brings the character to life in a true commitment to the character that will indelibly change the Marvel Movie Universe, laying the groundwork for great things to come. Well directed, this movie shows the heart of a hero in every sense and carries itself with feeling and a great sense of humor.
One of the best adaptations of Moore's seminal work, the films stays true to the core emotional power of the books, while interpreting the regime of the enemy as more gestapo than big brother. Hugo inhabits the role with a serious demeanor and carries the tone perfectly.
Thoroughly enjoyable - Game of Thrones director Alan Taylor serves up a good evolution of Thor's world with great attention to detail and solid character interplay.
Zack is very good at bringing to life, panel for panel, the original work with a fanboy like homage. This movie is no exception and makes some great choices to make the series work in movie format - sometimes it's bit silly (sex scene - yikes) but for the most part it honors well the great work by Moore.
Mendes delivers a great character study and a touching story in a gangster drama gone wrong. Hanks delivers a serious, committed role with some beautiful cinematography and great tension.
Visually stunning, and comic accurate, it captures the sex and violence of Miller's work to the letter. Whether you would want to read the letter, kind of depends on your tolerance for it.
Definitely more Ultimate Spiderman than the first trilogy, the movie captures a lot of the spirit of the same series and carries through with a lot of serviceable action but is ultimately 'meh'
I didn't expect to enjoy this, but it is a great exploration of the origins of the team and succeeds in providing a fantastic vehicle for Fassbender to shine as a focal point. Some of the other characters seem superfluous (white queen, Angel) but still well crafted.
Milius delivers a complete vision for the character and Arnie does deliver in a role meant for him. The film is lifted by a great performance by James Earl Jones and well-realized art direction.
This movie actually gets funnier to me over multiple watchings, it has some great moments and great characters, if a little flat in it's writing on occassion.
This movie should've come out 5 years ago, it might have done better and not been as predictable. Still the buddy cop routine is amusing and Hardy makes it fun to watch.
Ang Lee takes a risk on trying to bring the medium to life - comic panels and all - and equating the source of the hulk's rage to an abusive source. It suffers from a convoluted ending in which the movie tries to tie up too much at once.
Jim Carrey embodies the character whole-heartedly and is complimented by the over the top nature of the comic and it's cartoon like qualities. Very watchable and fun.
A good extension of the first movie, deepening the history of Pete's father and some great visual moments with introduction to the Sinister Six, but the Electro story is a tad embarrassing and shoddily written.
Del Toro brings a nightmare creature to life - a monster that eats monsters - in a fun piece that enhances the Blade mythos, and brings more of what was built in Blade 1 to fruition.
They took some time on developing Bruce Wayne - Kilmer brings a level of believability to the conflict within and an emotional depth that was lacking in the first two.
Snyder captures the material directly, bringing together frame for frame a film version of the graphic novel, a classic Grecian tale brought to brutal, bloody life. That being said, not much new is brought to this.
On paper, this movie sounds fantastic - James Bond and Han Solo take on the alien hordes - but the result is a mediocre story with cardboard characters and a thin plotline. I wanted to like it!
They spent a lot of money on effects, and Jeff Bridges is fun to watch, but Reynolds is the same character again, and the movie is ultimately forgettable.
Visually interesting and Eva Green gives a great performance, but the overall structure of the movie isn't compelling. It pales in comparison to the first.
I liked it better when I came in late and didn't see the gratuitous introductory stripper scene. Pam tries to play as tough as she can in this ridiculous T/A action flick.
A valiant attempt at trying to bring the piece to life, it fails on quite a few fronts, including the idiotic need to bring in an American character - tom sawyer - as an insult to American viewing audiences. It does capture Nemo, Jekyll and other in a good depiction but ultimately feels forced.
Forgettable, poorly acted and directed, this a sad homage to the character but at least she didn't run around in a chain mail bikini. Perhaps it should have been a comedy.
A terrible downturn given the success of the first two films, this film changes the tenor to an infantile comedy of which Pryor should never have been a part of. I give one point for 'Dark' superman.
