• Trailer Watch – Avengers: Age of Ultron, Trailer #3

    Marvel unleashed the epic final trailer for the eagerly awaited Avengers: Age of Ultron.

  • Film Review – Big Hero 6

  • Trailer Watch – Marvel’s Daredevil

    It already looks better than the film, but that was not a difficult challenge. April 10 will bring every episode of Daredevil to Netflix. At a glance this may not be what fans expected from Marvel, due to their current popular shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. which take a...

With returning foes and friends, this episode is a lot of fun, whilst also heightening the threat of HYDRA. In “Making Friends and Influencing People”, my favourite scene of the entire...

    Titled “Heavy Is the Head”, the second episode of season 2 of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is sadly a definite step down from the epic season opener. Feeling very much like a filler episode, it continues the Crusher Creel storyline and brings it to a rather unsatisfactory end. Having said...
