Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
★★★★★ The MCU continues to expand with Kang proving himself the perfect successor to Thanos. M.O.D.O.K. gives me life!

Thor: Love and Thunder
★★★★★ Hilarious and heartfelt, Waititi proves he's still worthy with his second 'Thor' outing, while Phase 4 finally starts to click into place. Haters gonna hate, but loved every thunderous minute!

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
★★★★½ Epic, spooky, fast, and kooky, 'MoM' is better than the first 'Doctor Strange' and feels like a comic book brought to life.
Review · Brooks Bird · Dec 16, 2021
Spider-Man: No Way Home
★★★★★ Unabashedly Spidey in all the right ways, the best of the Holland entries, and the year's best film to boot.

Black Widow
★★★★½ Strike a pose and dust off your ledgers, Marvel's return to the big screen was worth the wait!
Review · Brooks Bird · Jul 1, 2019
Spider-Man: Far From Home
★★★★★ A sense of loss hovers over what may as well be called 'Spider-Man's National Lampoon's European Vacation,' but it never gets in the way of the fun.

Dark Phoenix
★★★½★ Never as emotional as 'Logan,' or as bloated as 'Apocalypse,' Kinberg grounds the franchise as it fares adieu in the midst of the Disney merger.

Avengers: Endgame
★★★★★ Emotional, hilarious, weird, and astonishing from start to finish.
Review · Brooks Bird · Mar 8, 2019
Captain Marvel
★★★★★ With girl power to spare, 'Captain Marvel' smashes the superhero glass ceiling and I can't wait for the inevitable showdown with Thanos.
Review · Brooks Bird · Dec 16, 2018
Once Upon a Deadpool
★★★★★ A mashup of old, new, and edited. Another studio experiment gone wrong.
Review · Brooks Bird · Dec 14, 2018
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
★★★★★ Spidey gets the film he's been deserving of all along with the year's best film!
Review · Brooks Bird · Oct 5, 2018
Venom
★★★★★ Venom uses a line that includes "like a turd in the wind," and that's exactly what this will be. Thankfully not connected to the MCU.
Review · Brooks Bird · Jul 5, 2018
Ant-Man and the Wasp
★★★★½ The Wasp shows that Marvel really does understand female superheroes better than anyone and gives Lilly the chance to shine.
Review · Brooks Bird · May 17, 2018
Deadpool 2
★★★★★ Succeeding where others have failed before, 'Deadpool 2' manages to out-Deadpool the first!
Review · Brooks Bird · Apr 26, 2018
Avengers: Infinity War
★★★★★ Thanos is a marvelous villain and Marvel Studios are finally not pulling their punches.
Review · Brooks Bird · Feb 16, 2018
Black Panther
★★★★★ The King of Wakanda lives up to his 'Civil War' introduction and his backup kicks every bit as much butt.
Review · Brooks Bird · Nov 4, 2017
Thor: Ragnarok
★★★★★ Hilarious, bright, and super fun. This is the Hulk, err, Thor movie we've been waiting for!
Review · Brooks Bird · Jul 5, 2017
Spider-Man: Homecoming
★★★★★ This is the Spider-Man we've been waiting for as our favorite friendly neighborhood web-slinger gets his due. One of the best films of the year.
Review · Brooks Bird · May 5, 2017
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
★★★★★ Marvel Studios continues to excel when they aren't completely focused on the Avengers.
Review · Brooks Bird · May 13, 2016
X-Men: Apocalypse
★★★½★ Worth a matinee, but honestly, 'Deadpool' is a more satisfying 'X-Men' movie than this.
Review · Brooks Bird · Feb 12, 2016
Deadpool
★★★★★ Long story short: best film of the year so far!
