Thor: The Dark World (2013) Review This one was not as good as the first. It has a much darker tone than the previous movie. The first "Thor" was not that memorable either but this one is even less. The director of this movie was Alan Taylor who also worked at a little TV Show called "Game of Thrones" and you can see the influence of the TV Show. It's darker and grittier. It still has the humor, although a bit exaggerated, it has good action and nice set pieces. If it weren't for the performance of Tom Hiddleston I think the movie would not have been that entertaining. We get another useless villain that I don't really have anything to say about it. He is just pointless. The movie is fun to watch but it missed it's mark to be a great sequel. Also, Alan Taylor gave us "Terminator: Genisys", which is not that bad of a movie. The second outing of The God of Thunder is not very good but it's still a fresh movie. 7.2/10 OK guys, tha...

Iron Man 3 (2013) Review Hello guys and welcome back to movie reviews! Today I'm reviewing a movie that is, in my opinion, part Marvel movie, part Shane Black movie. The director, known for his dark humor that appears in his movie, it's used in this one as well. The movie works very well as a Shane Black picture but not as a Marvel movie. The surprise twist split audiences thru the middle: is it good or is it bad? For me, it was a bit of a unpleasant surprise because I've waited for the Mandarin to appear on screen for a long time. And I was not happy when the character turn out to be fake. Maybe some people like it but not me. Leaving that aside, the charisma of Downey Jr., who worked with Shane Black on "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", is excellent, the action is great, very well done. Plus, in this one, we get a more vulnerable and exposed Tony Stark. Without the suits, he must rely on his intelligence and engineering knowledge. We get a more humanizing Tony Stark, ...

The Avengers (2012) Review So everyone that I know was so hyped for this movie, back in 2012. And I to as well. And we got what we hoped for. This movie was and still is the greatest Marvel movie to date. It is the dream team up that every nerd, comic book enthusiast and movie enthusiast was thinking about. It has everything. It starts off strong, with the introduction of the villain, another great performance by Tom Hiddleston as Loki, then it builds up with some introductions of the Avengers, that are very subtle and entertaining in their own way. He have some nicely done quarrels and little fights throughout the movie that are setting the stage for the ultimate battle. Superb action, an excellent and smart script, good dialogue, excellent set pieces, very good special effects, hilarious, good humor and the Hulk never looked better. And the way that Josh Whedon shows us that this team is not the ideal one, with the bickering and the quarrels between its members, a major death of...

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Today I'm reviewing the the first avenger. So, this is the lesser of the Captain America movies, but when I say lesser I don't mean bad. This is not a bad movie. Is actually pretty great. You got very good action, a retro and old school vibe, stellar cast, great performances, awesome villain and some good humor as well. It's directed by Joe Johnston, who also gave us "Jumanji" and "The Wolfman" from 2010. And, unfortunately, "Jurassic Park III" as well. And the only decent movie from those three is "Jumanji". But with this one he does a nice job. Who would have thought that an old-fashioned Marvel movie could be so entertaining. Of course, there are some bits that don't work. The pacing is a bit slow at the beginning but the way that Steve Rogers is introduced is excellent. We get a scrawny kid who wants to join the army and fight f...

Thor (2011) Review So, you can see that this movie was directed by shakespearean enthusiast Kenneth Branagh. It has that shakespearean feel to it. The son that defies his father, is cast out, returns and redeems himself. The brother that is tired of living in the shadow of Thor and tries to take the throne by killing his brother. Family dispute themes. And this style works. It has less action than other Marvel movies in the MCU but the two major action sequences are enough to be entertained with this movie. It has a redemption story which I like. Great villain and an excellent performance by Tom Hiddleston playing Loki. It has a more tempered pace with a lot of wit, humor and earthly drama. Special effects are excellent, the visuals are stunning and performances are great. This movie introduced to us other realms and worlds in the universe so it's not that "down to Earth" like others. Which is a good thing. And hey, it put Chris Hemsworth on the map. Very entertainin...

Iron Man 2 (2010) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Today I'm reviewing the second "Iron Man" movie and the third entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Of course, it's not as good as the first one was but you can still have fun with it and it definitely has a lot of action. There are a few issues thou. Jon Favreau decided to get less practical and more CGI with the effects. Some look good but others, not so much. Like that stupid hologram thingy that looks so unrealistic. The plot has some holes in it, sometimes it is a bit uneven. The writing has some problems and the narrative as well. And now we get to the villain. OK, I have nothing against Mickey Rourke's performance. He is a good actor but the character is useless. You go from the villain in the first movie to this less menacing dude with a grudge. He is just a broken man who looks for revenge. I understand the backstory but make him more menacing and dangerous. Like I said, perform...

The Incredible Hulk (2008) Review The second entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was not that good like "Iron Man" was but it's definitely way better than the piece of crap that was "Hulk" from 2003. I still can't believe that movie was directed by Ang Lee. This one is directed by Louis Leterrier, the man behind "Clash of the Titans", "Now You See Me" and the first "Transporter" movie, so the guy knows his action and special effects. Of course, the combination does not work in all of his movies but in this one it does. Edward Norton was supposed to reprise his role in "The Avengers" movie but the actor can a bit difficult to work with. So they swap him with Mark Ruffalo. The action is intense, there are some bits that don't work, the CGI is good, not that realistic but good. The acting is excellent. The story could have used a bit more exposition to fully understand the whole plot. But when you here the cat...
