The latest MCU offering, The Marvels, is a typical superhero film that gets saved by its minimal runtime and the signature humor of MCU films. It is a film that isn’t doing anything creatively inspiring to cause some changes to the exhaustion people are feeling towards the superhero genre. If you aren’t an ardent follower… Continue reading The Marvels Review | A Generic Superhero Film Saved by Its Brisk Runtime and Typical MCU Humor

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Review | With a Balanced Script, James Gunn Delivers a Film That Overcomes Superhero Fatigue
Due to the superhero fatigue, I have to admit that my excitement towards the film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was very minimal. But surprisingly enough, this was perhaps the most entertaining MCU film after No Way Home. With James Gunn retaining his quirkiness in the narrative in a pretty balanced screenplay, this final… Continue reading Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Review | With a Balanced Script, James Gunn Delivers a Film That Overcomes Superhero Fatigue
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Review | Marvel Kicks off Phase 5 With a Mixed-Bag Entertainer
The Ant-Man movies have never been the “serious” ones in the MCU. They mostly had that stand-alone nature and were the most laid-back entertainers in the franchise. Considering whom they have used in this movie as the antagonist, I would say Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is perhaps the most consequential film in the Ant-Man… Continue reading Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Review | Marvel Kicks off Phase 5 With a Mixed-Bag Entertainer
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Review | Ryan Coogler Pushes the Rest Button in an Emotional T’Challa Tribute
In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the sequel to 2018’s Black Panther, the placement of the plot has mainly two intentions. One is to press the reset button as there is a need for a new leader. The second is to be a tribute to Chadwick Boseman and the aura of the first movie. While the… Continue reading Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Review | Ryan Coogler Pushes the Rest Button in an Emotional T’Challa Tribute
Thor: Love and Thunder
Taika Waititi is someone who is known for his wacky style, and Thor: Ragnarok was a great example of that. In the new sequel to Ragnarok, Waititi opts for a rather humorous approach with less drama happening on a plot level. Thor: Love and Thunder is a weirdly-satisfying, fun film that doesn’t contribute much to… Continue reading Thor: Love and Thunder
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness might not be cinematically that enthralling compared to a no way home or endgame. Still, the deviation it takes from the usual pattern we see in MCU films makes this film an interesting one. The inclination toward the spookiness in the treatment makes it less of… Continue reading Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Spider-Man: No Way Home
After Avengers: Endgame, Spider-man: No Way Home is the only film in the MCU that comes packed with so many scream-worthy moments. And it is that film that sort of takes the character to a greater emotional level. Many people believed that Far From Home was a movie that never really expanded the character or… Continue reading Spider-Man: No Way Home
Eternals
Chloe Zhao’s take on Eternals is a highly character-driven one. It is somewhere that risky step Marvel has taken to try out a new way of approaching its stories. Yes, the movie does miss the punch when you look at it as a superhero movie in the MCU. But the exposition-driven treatment isn’t entirely bad… Continue reading Eternals
