“A two-dimensional thriller with poorly written characters, a predictable plot & clumsy dialogue”
The main highlights from this year’s SDCC - including Robert Downey Jr’s surprise return to the MCU … as Doctor Doom!
“A pure delight from beginning to end, delivering on its character arcs while also providing non-stop laughs”
“A standalone adventure with more than enough laughs & action to keep new & old viewers entertained”
“Another masterpiece – a sequel that delivers on character & emotion, as well as visual invention & spectacle”
“A bittersweet & emotional farewell to the characters we have grown to love over the last decade”
“Tonnes of fun, combining out-there sci-fi concepts & laugh-out-loud moments with the introduction of Marvel’s next genuinely intimidating big-screen villain”
“Despite some pacing issues, this is a lovingly crafted tribute to a great actor who was taken from the world far too soon”
“Combines the epic thrills & joyful comedy of ‘Ragnarok’, with the more emotional & soulful elements of Thor’s journey in ‘Endgame’”
“A darker film, both in terms of its fantasy horror elements & its character development, but with plenty of surprises for fans”
“Not only a hugely crowd-pleasing blockbuster, but also arguably the best Spider-Man movie of them all”
“An enjoyable & entertaining mid-tier comic-book movie, and a marked improvement on the first film”
“This millennia-spanning cosmic fantasy about galactic space-gods & immortal beings may divide audiences, although it benefits greatly from repeat viewings”
“Powered by Simu Liu’s charismatic central performance, this delivers all you could ask for in terms of martial arts action, epic fantasy adventure & family drama”
“Gets Phase 4 of the MCU off to a great start, with another winning combination of emotion, action & humour”
“Despite a good cast & some interesting ideas, this is an entry for X-Men completists more than casual movie goers”
“A joy to watch – a successful blend of comedy, adventure, teen romance & super-heroics”
“Makes good use of its fantastic cast, providing an emotionally satisfying farewell to the characters”
“Draws together a decade’s worth of storylines into one last glorious victory lap for this era of the MCU”
“Avoids the origin story pitfalls, delivering a film that is packed full of heart, humour & action”
A look ahead at what’s “coming soon” in 2019
