Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018)
There isn't too much to say about this one. It was similar to the first one but with heart and action ramped up a couple of notches. It’s...

Deadpool 2 (2018)
This is a fun movie but it doesn’t hit quite the same as the first. They fridged Venessa which sucked. Cable, Domino, and Yukio were all...

The Marvels (Released 11/10/23)

Loki Season 2

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Black Panther (2018)
This movie didn’t really strike a chord with me when it first came out. This movie wasn’t made for me besides being a Marvel movie. It...

Thor: Ragnorak (2017)

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

Logan (2017)

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

Captain America: Civil War (2016)
