Man-Thing (2005) Movie Review
Of all the characters in the Marvel Universe, you have to wonder why Lion’s Gate chose Man-Thing, a lower tiered comic book character, to make into a movie. Unless you’re a die-hard comic book fan, it’s doubtful you’ve ever heard of the character; and even if you did used to read comics, it’s even more [...]

Based on one of Marvel Comic’s longest running comic books, “Fantastic Four” the movie follows the adventures of the world’s greatest superhero team. Except when we first meet them they’re not all that fantastic or great, but thanks to the genius of egghead Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) and test pilot pal Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis), [...]

While watching “Batman Begins”, it’s best not to consider this installment in the Dark Knight’s life and times as being a part of the Burton and Schumacher (I still cringe saying that second name) Batman films. True to advance buzz, Christopher Nolan’s “Batman Begins” is an Origins Story, and one that rarely, if ever, takes [...]

When I first heard that Robert Rodriguez was going to make a “Sin City” movie, my first reaction went something along the lines of, “Yeah, right, it’s impossible. They’ll never be able to duplicate Miller’s vision. And if they tried, they’ll just foul it up something awful.” Oh how wrong I was! Rodriguez, whose movies [...]

There is really nothing inherently so wrong with “Constantine” that you would be justified in calling it “awful”. To be sure, there is also nothing really extraordinary about it to justify words like “great” or “pretty good”. In fact, the perfect word for music video director turned film director Francis Lawrence’s comic book adaptation “Constantine” [...]

If you enjoyed the originality of the original “Blade”, and thought Del Toro’s “Blade 2″ was hells on wheels, mannerisms and good taste be damned, then David Goyer’s “Blade: Trinity”, the third and supposedly final installment in the comic book superhero turned successful movie franchise, is something of a letdown. For one, there’s that nagging [...]

Long before the X-Men made a splash on the big screen, Marvel Comics tried things on a smaller scale with a television film based on a spin-off of the X titles. They made a very wise decision, and the result signals the beginning of Marvel’s rise as a theatrical force to be reckoned with. Breezy [...]

Things weren’t always so good for Marvel Studios. Several years before they were making big budget blockbusters, they were reduced to cranking out television films for the Fox Network. A fair effort went into bringing Nick Fury, the famed S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, to life, but even so it never truly does justice to the legendary character. [...]

After the disaster that was “Batman and Robin”, DC Comics tried to regain face with a live-action television pilot of their popular super team, the Justice League of America. Unfortunately, the finished product only made matters worse and was quickly shelved, never to see the light of day. But eBay shoppers and convention attendees can [...]

It may be rated PG-13, but Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2″ is no kiddie picture. Of course that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bring your kids to see the further adventures of Spidey (Tobey Maguire) as he once again defies gravity, common sense, and a host of other improbabilities. And seeing the blue and red suit on [...]

Back in the mid-90s, the most popular team in comic books wasn’t the X-Men, but a group from independent publisher Image Comics. Created by Jim Lee, Brandon Choi and Jim Scott Campbell, “GEN 13″ was the sexiest, edgiest team on the shelf and a hit with readers. An animated film version was soon produced by [...]

You have to be a really big fan of Hong Kong legend Chow Yun-Fat (”The Killer”) to fully appreciate “Bulletproof Monk”, a derivative film about an immortal Tibetan monk (Chow) who has been protecting a mythical and powerful scroll for the last 60 years. Chasing the monk is Strucker (Karel Roden), a Nazi who has [...]
