Marvel/DC Reviews

  • I’m so damn eager to tell you all about this new take on Marvel’s first family, but as always, it’s no spoilers and then I pad a bit, and then I spoil it a whole bunch. Though I will say there’s a major plot detail that was revealed in TV spots the week before the Read more

  • I’m finally here. I’ve been waiting for what feels like my whole life to get to this moment and review this movie. You may say I need to change my priorities because that’s sad, to which I’d say “How dare you but also yeah”. Anyway, review time! Superman (2025) stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Read more

  • Marvel is back at it again, and so am I! I’ll keep all non-spoilers before the red text, and all privileged information after. Enjoy! Sorry for the late review, I had Finals. Thunderbolts* stars Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen, Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Laurence Fishburne, Rachel Weisz, and Read more

  • It’s been a while, but we’ve got another big year for Marvel in store. And you know the deal. No spoilers, then spoilers! Captain America flies again, and I’m here to talk about it! Yay!!! Captain America: Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Harrison Ford, Liv Tyler, Shira Haas, Tim Blake Read more

  • Spoilers for everything, obviously. This has been a rough year to be a superhero fan, unless you really like Sony’s Spider-themed corner of hell. There were bright spots, obviously. 2024 was a year of reworking and tinkering for the main studios. DC have been stoking excitement for upcoming projects now that James Gunn is at Read more

  • Full spoilers for this immediately. I’m not stepping around this. Nobody saw it except for me and my friend Jackson. And I’m not sure he’ll be my friend for long if I keep asking him to see these kinds of movies with me. Kraven The Hunter stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, Alessandro Nivola, Read more

  • Full spoilers for this. I don’t have much to say and I don’t want to talk about this movie. It feels grossly put together and cynical and rushed and low effort so that’s what this review will be. None of the posters, none of the red spoiler text, the breaking down characters, none of it. Read more

  • I don’t know if people care anymore about spoilers for this film, but no spoilers and then spoilers I guess, it’s movie time everybody. Joker: Folie à Deux stars Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Zazie Beetz, Catherine Keener, Harry Lawtey, Brendan Gleeson, and Steve Coogan. It was written by Scott Silver and Todd Phillips and directed Read more

  • I haven’t done one of these in a while, there’s only been one superhero movie out this year and nobody saw it, so I’ll clearly mark when I start talking spoilers. No matter where you stand with superhero movies, this has been highly anticipated for decades now and we’ve finally arrived. Let’s do it, eh? Read more

  • As I’ve made it clear many times already, I am very psyched for the movie coming out next week. My inner child, the desperate fanboy, is so excited to see this movie and the newest trailers have only stoked the flames of said excitement. I’m aware people are frustrated the trailers are revealing so many Read more

  • Full spoilers for this immediately. I’m not stepping around this. Nobody saw it except for me and my friend Jackson. I’ve been watching superhero movies since I was a little kid and I’ve been waiting for a movie this bad in a funny way. Morbius failed because it was just so boring, but this exceeds Read more

  • * This post was updated as of December 2024 to correct a very incorrect opinion.Spoilers for all movies discussed in this ranking. Not that most of the public would care at this point. This has been a rocky year for comic book adaptations and superhero media and a good few of the ones on this Read more

  • Did anyone see this? Hard to say. The first Aquaman inexplicably made a billion dollars, so even though logically that doesn’t make sense and that movie should have sunk, (Heh) this new one could make money. I think it’ll fail though. Anyway, no spoilers and then spoilers. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom stars Jason Momoa, Read more

  • So clearly I came up with the title for the review before I saw the movie. The title of the review only includes such positive verbage because of the title of the movie. I’m sure I’m not the only person who used such fun wordplay in their review title. But maybe I am, because I Read more

  • Welcome. If you’ve never read my blog before and you just found this and you’re expecting a fair, unbiased, positive review of The Flash, then go away. If you decided to read this because you loved The Flash and you want someone to reinforce your opinions on the quality of the movie and the acting Read more

  • Hello! I meant to write a review for Shazam! Fury of the Gods, but it was super boring and I had nothing to say about it. I’ve been busy with lots of writing assignments and finals, but school is now over for the summer and we’re going to celebrate with a review of Guardians of Read more

  • This is a big movie for me especially. I’ve been waiting for this for some time now. People have neglected Ant-Man as a character in the past but now he’s in a big epic movie and the reviews are not very positive. Did I like it though? Have I been blinded by my love of Read more

  • Spoilers for three movies you’ve probably seen before- Captain America: Civil War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Avengers: Endgame. I feel a little weird about covering these movies, but you know what? If you think it’s dumb then you can fight me. This may be the geekiest Ruddtrospective yet, where I get to gush about Read more

  • Spoilers for everything in this ranking. Obviously. It would be really stupid of you to read this if you had any interest in watching any of these but haven’t yet. We were originally going to get three more superhero movies this year, but Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse got delayed and Warner Brothers lost all of Read more

  • It feels weird to be back writing another superhero movie review already. It’s been a couple of weeks, right? Black Adam and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever are very different superhero movies. Black Adam is the vanity project of the world’s baldest man. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is a tribute to a great actor who should Read more

  • I’m sure nobody wants to see this because this man makes too many movies and this movie looks generic as hell and DC has burned us millions of times. Nevertheless I will start by not spoiling the movie and make it obvious when I switch to spoilers. Black Adam stars Rock ‘The Dwayne’ Johnson. The Read more

  • Despite working at a summer camp with limited access to the internet, I yet again managed to spoil the ending of this movie for myself. But some people are smart and don’t do that. So, as always, I will clearly mark when I start spoiling the movie. Thor: Love and Thunder stars Christopher Hemsworth, Natalie Read more

  • Just like with No Way Home, I managed to spoil like 90% of this before I saw it. But for those of you who didn’t and have been avoiding the incredibly spoilery promotional material, I will be sure to mark when I dip into spoilers. I know I said in my last post that I Read more

  • No spoilers for the movie Morbius will be covered in this post. No purposeful spoilers, at least. I want people to experience this without knowing anything going in. Morbius(2022) stars Jared Leto, Adria Arjona, Michael Keaton, Matt Smith, Jared Harris, and Tyrese Gibson. It was directed by Daniel Espinosa, and the screenplay was written by Read more

  • Spoilers for the movie Ant-Man! I’m finally covering one of the Marvel movies! Although if you’re reading this you’ve probably seen it already. Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll, Michael Peña, David Dastmalchian, T.I., Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer, and Abby Ryder Fortson. The cast also features Anthony Mackie, Hayley Atwell, John Read more

  • Obviously this movie just came out so I’m going to do a non-spoiler review up top and then move into spoilers later on. But I will clearly mark when that is, so quit your worrying. Also if you’re that worried about spoilers, maybe don’t read this until you see the movie. I knew a lot Read more

  • Spoilers for everything in the ranking, but not Thunder Force, Y: The Last Man, M.O.D.O.K., Hit-Monkey, Sweet Tooth, or all the CW and HBO Max DC shows released this year. I’m not going to talk about those because I haven’t seen them. I’m probably forgetting some other things I haven’t seen. I try to keep Read more

  • Spoilers for every Paul Rudd performance from the cursed year of 2021, which includes Ghostbusters: Afterlife, The Shrink Next Door, Saturday Morning All-Star Hits, and the zombie episode of What If…?. 4. Ghostbusters: AfterlifeI already reviewed this, so I’ll try to keep it brief. This movie just isn’t for me. I don’t have a lot Read more

  • I’m going to try my best not to spoil this movie but there are no guarantees. Most of what I am going to mention will be things I knew going in to the movie, which might sound like a spoiler. But that’s only because I’m a freak and I research these things too much. Enjoy! Read more
