Deadpool is the franchise starter Ryan Reynolds deserves. After making rom-coms, mediocre comedies, and one truly terrible superhero movie, Reynolds has finally landed the role he was born to play. Even better, the movie studio gods see fit to make this an R-rated romp. Continue reading

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)

I never knew I needed to see Colin Firth as a dapper yet kickass spy. But now that I’ve seen Kingsman, I wonder why he’s wasting so much time making romantic comedies. Continue reading
Mystery Men (1999)
IMDbBen
I do enjoy this film, but there is definitely a feeling of what might have been. I love this concept so much, and to just get a good, and not great, movie out of it does seem like a wasted opportunity. Continue reading
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

I think the best way to describe this film is disappointing. Putting two of the most iconic heroes on the big screen together for the first time should have been an easy home run. It isn’t though. Continue reading
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
Ben
The X-Men series has definitely been hit or miss for me. I feel much more affection for the X-Men characters than any of the other comic book series being produced now. Growing up, X-Men was by far my favourite and one I read religiously. I was so much more invested in these characters and wanted their films to be as good as the books I grew up reading.

Man of Steel (2013)

Here is one of the times I will be going into spoilerish details for a movie. I can’t really go into what I didn’t like about it without dealing with the ending. So there’s your warning, if you haven’t seen Man of Steel, stop reading now. Continue reading
The Losers (2010)

The Losers is a bit like The A-Team, only with a better cast and funnier jokes. It’s also a bit like every other action film ever made, full of almost every cliche in the book. Still, you could do a lot worse than this movie. Continue reading
Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

With the first Kick-Ass film becoming a cult hit on DVD and a minor success financially, it was inevitable that a sequel would eventually follow. The sequel focuses more on the breakout character of the first film, Hit-Girl, again played by Chloe Grace Moretz. Continue reading
Kick-Ass (2010)
IMDb
Ben
This is a film that definitely divided opinion when it was first released. People did not like the idea of a little girl swearing like a sailor, because ‘what about the children’. I was able to get past this boring piece of political correctness and enjoy this film for what it was, a dark, but still fun, comic book film. Continue reading
Jonah Hex (2010)

I often start reviews by stating that I did not pay attention to the movie, and therefore will have trouble remembering much about the plot. That is only partly the case with Jonah Hex. Continue reading
