Really Great 66 Points 2022

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is marvelicious, fully 2+ hours of Marvel deliciousness, including surprise cameos from big stars of the Marvel cinematic universe. Big Benedict Cumberbatch is the star around which this solar system revolves, in his eighth turn as Dr. Stephen Strange…

Perfect 66 Points 2022

Taika Waititi & Chris Hemsworth have done it again, fused comedy with superhunkiness to create another perfect Marvel movie. Thor: Love and Thunder is all that, as was its immediate predecessor – Ragnarok.

Waititi is a genius write…

Good 66 Points 2022

Wakanda Forever is maternal Marvel, and not just maternal but sisterly and resolutely female focused. Sisters doing it for themselves, IOW. The only men are supporting players, including the über villain, who’s not half bad but not man enough to give the movie balance. This is a serious flaw in…

OK 66 Points 2023

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a competent Marvel movie. Yet it’s also chock-full of agitprop for woke sophisticates, making it hard to swallow. Worse, it’s hard to follow and its Quantum Realm setting turns into a hall-pass for cinematic hokum. What kind of hokum? Michelle Pfeiffer, age …

Spider-Man 3
Barely OK 70 Points 2007

A tangled web of storylines, inexplicable contrivances and desultory performances mark Spider-Man 3 as the end of the line for the original Spider-Man team. Thus it’s no surprise that the next Spidey movie will feature a new director and new actors.

As for this installment, it’s barely OK f…

Good comix story, well acted by more than a handful of great actors, and fetchingly produced.

The Avengers
Really Great 83 Points 2012

The Avengers do more than avenge. They dominate – the box office and Disney’s financial performance.

More personally, they fulfill the hopes of fanboys everywhere, including older generations who don’t even know they are fanboys. Ever love a Marvel comic? Prepare to be fulfilled, fanboy….

X-Men: First Class
Great 83 Points 2011

First class prequels are Hollywood mutants, crisply intelligent rather than trite – obligatory touchstones notwithstanding. X-Men: First Class surpasses that standard, rebooting a tired saga with fresh casting, well grounded plot devices and an engaging mix of resonant themes.

Marvel achiev…

Great 83 Points 2012

Imagine there’s no Spider-Man. It’s easy if you try.
No web below us, above us only sky.

Imagine Spider-Man as if Toby Maguire never wore the suit and James Franco were still a sensitive nobody. Seen thusly, The Amazing Spider-Man is a great movie, notwithstanding a treacly story that…

The Wolverine
Great 83 Points 2013

The title sucks, but the movie rocks. Rox tops sux. How does it rock? Let us count the ways.

  1. Marvel spins well-wrought yarns, with superheroes defined by their foibles as much as their powers. Wolverine has love-lost and anger issues. At some level, who doesn’t?
  2. Nice that he’s facing-o…
