Film Review: Captain America: The First Avenger

Rewind a couple of years to when we first saw Iron Man hit the screens and Marvel’s attempt at creating a movie universe took off with flying colors. This is a concept that DC Comics and Marvel alike only dreamed of and most were surprised at how well the idea was accepted. Soon after, other [...]

Film Review: Green Lantern

For years now, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Studios have partnered in bring two of its most iconic characters to the big screen: Superman and Batman. Some of these films have been among the most successful and popular comic books films to date, while others have failed miserably, but that is another discussion. Up until recently, [...]

Film Review: X-Men First Class

Of all the recent comic book movies that have hit theaters lately, X-Men: First Class has arguably been the most talked about and not necessarily in a good way. Back in 2000, when Fox and Bryan Singer first brought the X-Men to the big screen, fans were not thrilled with the selection of characters that [...]

X-Men: First Class Reviews Hit the Web!

As with most films, Fox has placed an embargo on any reviews hitting the web before May 25, they have allowed a few websites to post some “first impressions” of the films and guess what? They are actually quite good! Below, I have posted a few exerpts from a couple of websites (thanks to ComicBookMovie [...]

Film Review: Thor

Adapting a character like Thor into a feature film is no easy task. It takes a skilled eye to take the fantasy world of Asgard and combine it with the the realistic world here on Earth. It helps that Marvel Studios was behind this film, as they know what it takes to make their characters work, but [...]

Thor Movie Reviews

Normally studios like to embargo early reviews so that bloggers and critics don’t let the cat out of the bag when it comes to their new releases. It seems however in the case of Marvel / Disneys upcoming THOR they were more then willing to let Trade Critics and bloggers post their reviews online. It would [...]

Sucker Punch Review From & Snyder Fanboy!

Sucker Punch is Zack Snyders latest film that just hit theatres and to say its been getting mixed reviews is a generous statement. Hopefully you are reading this review before you go see it so you can get a clear and honest perspective on the film. First off its worth noting that I am a [...]

Battle Los Angeles Movie Review

There have been many alien invasion type movies in Hollywood’s history and quite a few in recent years. One of the most popular would be 1996′s Independence Day,directed by Roland Emmerich, the master of apocalyptic films. They all seem to follow a very similar formula, uniting the country and the world into one fighting force, to ensure the [...]

Series Review: Wolverine Anime Episodes 4-6

Madhouse’s Wolverine The Anime continues with episodes 4 through 6 of the series, the latest in the anime company’s production of classic Marvel characters (the next up in the series is X-Men The Anime, due for release sometime this spring). [Spoiler Alert!] Episode 4 features a showdown between Logan/Wolverine and his classic adversary Omega Red.  [...]

Series Review: Wolverine the Anime Episodes 1-3

I managed to get my sweaty little hands on the first six episodes of Wolverine the Anime produced by Japanese studio Madhouse Productions in conjunction with Marvel, because I needed to see for myself what all the hype (and complaints) were about.  We’ve all heard about this anime; it’s the second series in Madhouse’s  adaptation [...]

Red Review

Review: Let Me In

Last year, I happen to come across this little gem of a movie called Let the Right One In, (from Sweden) which turned out to be not only one of the best vampire films I’ve ever seen, but it also ranks among the top horror movies out there. So when I heard that writer/director Matt [...]

Machete Review! You F*’kd with the Wrong Mexican!

‘You Just F**ked with the Wrong Mexican’ Danny Trejo sums up Robert Rodriguez’s new film Machete so eloquently with that one sentence. Danny Trejo stars in MACHETE as… you guessed it MACHETE. His first leading role the film directed by Robert Rodriguez is based off the faux trailer which appeared during Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s [...]

DVD Review: Old Boy

While writing up my article on the 25 Most Ass-Kickin’ Scenes on Film, I came across a scene from Old Boy, that was just amazing to watch, but more on that later. As I was watching the film, I couldn’t help but think the show seemed familiar in some way and as it came to [...]

Review: The Expendables

Having grown up in the 80′s and being a lover of film, I have a soft spot for movies that include Latin dictators, excessive violence, predictable story lines, and action stars and not surprisingly, The Expendables has them all. It is no secret that this film is a throwback to all of the awesomely bad action [...]

Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

If you thought you’d seen everything that Hollywood has to offer, think again. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World dishes up a style of film that is truly unique and a one-of-a-kind, with a tribute to just about every 1980′s video game out there, toss in a love-story, and you’ve got yourself a film that is [...]

DVD Review: The Losers

It’s no secret that Hollywood has a new-found obsession for films based on graphic novels. For the most part, the larger franchises like Batman, Spider Man and the X-Men have done very well and even the lesser know characters like Iron Man have been received well. So writers and film execs are delving into story [...]

Batman: Under the Red Hood Review

Josh takes you Under the Red Hood in the new DC Comic’s Batman film Batman Under The Red Hood

Kick Ass Review… Spiderman’s for Pussies!

[rating: 9/10] Lookout kids cause their is a new superhero on the block and he has lots of balls, not so many brains and oh yeah… no super powers. Kick-Ass, written by Millar and drawn by John Romita Jr., follows a high school dweeb who attempts to reinvent himself as a real-world costumed superhero named [...]

Avatar Review, Lots of Hype… Little Else

So this weekend I went to checkout Avatar and needless to say it was less then a thrill ride. My intentions were to go and see it in 3D but the showing was sold out and rather then making the long trek home empty handed I decided to wait 45minutes and see it in the [...]

Gamer Review

This weekend I decided to drag myself out to see Gamer. Admittedly not a comic book movie but it is heavy scifi so I figured I would talk about my experience here no ReelComix. Gamer is best desribed as a poor mans Death Race. Its similar in concept but poorly executed and is one of [...]

GI Joe Rise of Cobra Movie Review

It should come as no surprise to those of you who have read this site that I am by no means impressed by the GI Joe promotional efforts of Paramount. The movie has looked lame lame and double lame since the first day they started promoting it to us fanboys. So imagine my surprise in [...]

PUSH Movie Review

I have to admit I was not overly impressed with the looks of PUSH when it hit theaters. For some reason I sucked it up though and spent $23 on the dvd and have to admit its pretty good. The action packed sci-fi thriller involves a group of young American ex-pats with telekinetic and clairvoyant [...]

Street Fighter Legend of Chun Li Review

I really thought that Frank Millers The Spirit was one of the worst movies ever made for fanboys but thankfully for Frank there is a movie that is leaps and bounds worse then it is. Well ok maybe not that bad, but at least AS bad as The Spirit and its Street Fighter the Legend [...]

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Review

Got out to see the new blockbuster Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and I am happy to report that the critics got it wrong again. As much as film critics are panning the film as garbage, it is most certainly not. Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is what it is. Its a Michael Bay Blockbuster [...]

Terminator Salvation Review

I went last night to partake in the glorious block buster magic that is Terminator Salvation. I was invited by Warner Brothers to an early screening and was instructed to not review it until Wednesday. Wed is now here and so is my review. Terminator Salvation caps off the Terminator Franchise in Glorious style and [...]

JJ Abrams Star Trek Movie Review

Last night I lined up to go see Star Trek with all you trekkies. I am not a trekkie by any stretch of the imagination but I have seen at least 5 of the other Star Trek movies and will admit to enjoying some of the TV show episodes. Especially those featuring the Borg, and the [...]

X-men Origins Wolverine Review

Its finally here. Wolverine just popped into theaters and I lined up with all the other geeks to see Wolverine. Quick off topic tidbit. I have to ask why is it everytime I go to see a comic book movie I end up with the group that has been in their basement in front of [...]

The Spirit DVD Review

Ahh The Spirit. Easily one of the most negatively panned comic book movies in years. Frank Millers debut as a director and lets also hope his last. As genius as SinCity was we all know it was Robert Rodriguez that made that movie what it was. The fact they let Frank sit in and gave [...]

Max Payne Unrated DVD Review

Max Payne Unrated hits DVD January 20th and we have an early review. Max Payne for anyone who has not played the game can be summed up nicely with ‘wtf?’. I am assuming that those of you who played the game could make some sense out of the movie but as somebody who did not [...]
