If you’ve read any of my recent Marvel reviews then you will already know that I have become completely disillusioned with the franchise as a whole, even to the point where I don’t even care about spoilers anymore – which is a huge deal for me – yet I still find myself trudging into the…

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) Film Review
The fact that I still haven’t finished the MCU’s series What If..? or Moon Knight and I couldn’t even motivate myself to write my reviews of Eternals (enjoyable but almost instantly forgettable) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (total shite – all nostalgia and very little else) are pretty good indications of just how completely bored…
Hawkeye (2021) Series Review
If you cast your mind back to late 2018, before pandemics, lockdowns and social distancing were common everyday phrases, Disney announced the release of their own streaming service to be launched in 2019 (or March 2020 for us Brits). Whilst everyone was excited about the Star Wars series The Mandalorian, it was the announcement of…
The Marvel Cinematic Universe TV Series Ranked Worst To Best
After some Covid-19 related delays and timeline reshuffles, Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe officially began and the MCU’s post-Endgame era saw them expand their catalogue with a foray into the world of television, to varying degrees of success. As a loyal (or indoctrinated) fan of the Marvel films – and for fear of…
Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings (2021) Film Review
For those still reeling from the loss of some of our favourite superheroes, the likes of WandaVision and Loki, have acted as a bridge from the Marvel Cinematic Universe of old to the scary unknown of the new. And whilst it may offer something of a comfort to know that familiar faces are still there, with Hawkeye coming to Disney+ in November…
Loki (2021) Series Review
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier gave us a new Captain America. WandaVision delivered us a Wanda Maximoff who has finally tapped into the potential of potential of her powers and Black Widow potentially paved the way for a new widow. But where these all hint and tease at the future of the MCU, Loki…
Black Widow (2021) Film Review
Before Covid, the long awaited standalone Black Widow movie was set to kick off Phase 4 of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe but, with cinema’s closed and the subsequent reshuffling of movie releases, Black Widow made way for MCU’s first canonical forays into television. No matter how much buzz WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and…
The Falcon And The Winter Soldier (2021) Series Review
Following on from the risky but effective genre-bending WandaVision, Phase 4 of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe continues with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which in essence is more in line with the MCU’s usual fare. With WandaVision‘s point of difference dividing both fans and critics alike, would the somewhat safer, more traditional set up of…
WandaVision (2021) Series Review
Us poor Marvel fans barely had enough time to reflect on the events of Endgame and Far From Home before the next three years of our cinematic lives were neatly planned out with new release dates acting as mini milestones to mark in our diaries. If there was one good thing to come out of…
Film Review: Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse (2018)
As someone who thoroughly enjoys mainstream cinema, especially superhero flicks, Into the Spider-verse is one of those films that, for some reason, I couldn’t be bothered to go and see despite all the hype. However, when our holiday to Mexico was cancelled due to the Covid-19 lockdown, we had plenty of time during our week…
My Favourite Favourites
Given the vastness that is the world of cinema, there are a few key roles that are beyond iconic and as a result there have been many a debate over which interpretation is the best. So for a bit of fun, I thought I would share with you my favourites of some of these iconic…
Top Ten… Worst Films of 2019
It may be a lack of cinema visits this year but I struggled a lot with this post, mainly with actually coming up with ten films that I didn’t like. Not that this year has been full of masterpieces but predominantly because my main consideration when reviewing a film is not necessarily the technical aspects…
Goodbye 2019: End of an Era
Not only did the end of 2019 see us say goodbye to the 2010’s but also to a great many shows and film franchises, here’s a little round-up of some of those that we lost going into the new decade. I tell you something though, 2020 has got some big shoes to fill… Star Wars…
About Me… Best Day Ever!
As you may know, I took a mini hiatus at the beginning of this month, partly because we had a couple of trips planned but mainly because Mark and I, after eight years of dating, finally tied the knot. That’s right, I’m now a Mrs!! I wasn’t going to write a post about our day,…
Review – Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
Marvel Studios are the modern-day Pavlov, they ring their new release bell and the masses come running, myself included. After being both underwhelmed and rather disappointed with Avengers: Endgame I really fancied a bit of a break from the MCU but Far From Home is the final installment of both Phase 3, and the ‘Infinity…
Top Ten… MCU Films
The time is nearly here….Twenty-one films, over the course of eleven years, have all been leading up to this moment… Avengers: Endgame is just days away now. So, in order to pass away the last few days I thought I would rank my top ten favourite MCU films. 10. Black Panther (2018) I’ll admit that perhaps this…
Top Ten… MCU Superheroes
If you are a fan of comic book movies, then the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a big part of your life for the last eleven years and with its culmination almost upon us, I thought it would be fun to do a post ranking my top ten favourite MCU superheroes in preparation for the…
Film Review: Captain Marvel (2019)
I’ll admit that after eleven years and twenty-one movies, I am starting to get a teensy bit bored of the Superhero genre and I’ve found the last few MCU films a little under-whelming on the first viewing. Couple that with all the hype and focus on finally having a female lead** and I actually went…
