Aquaman How Was The Movie?

Walt

Aquaman movie premiered in the U.S. last Friday on the 21st of December. With the help of an early release overseas and a 90 million dollar take over the weekend and Monday it has officially passed the $500 million mark at the global box office last night. The Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes set at 64% fresh with an audience score of 82%. Critics Consensus: Aquaman swims with its entertainingly ludicrous tide, offering up CGI superhero spectacle that delivers energetic action with an emphasis on good old-fashioned fun. That you may…

The Storms of Crait review

Travis

Tell me if you have heard this one before… Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo and Chewy walk onto a planet… some conflict happens, Luke has a discovery, Han and Chewie are Han and Chewie, and Princess Leia saves the day. “Star Wars – The Storms of Crait” follows the Star Wars fantasy drama that we are accustomed to in from the movies. In fact, it has quite the same feel as the Brian Woods Star Wars series he wrote for Dark Horse comics as Disney and Lucas penned their…

Star Trek Discovery review Episode 11

Travis

In Godfather 3 fashion I wanted to title this review “Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.” The difference from episode 10 to episode 11 is simply night and Day. This episode breaths life back into the whole series for me and gets me so incredibly pumped up for what is to come next. It should be noted that the show seems to have an excellent writers room and this episode is no exception. This episode was written by one the co-executive producers of the…

Thor: Ragnarok The Review

Walt

This is the second weekend for Thor: Ragnarok to be seen in theaters. It opened last weekend with a respectable 122 million dollars and is still maintaining a 93% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The total domestic market is at 211 million as of November 12. These numbers are very good and for the most part, is well deserved. The China market set some big records helping the overseas gross market at 438 million at this time. I enjoyed the movie very much, it was very satisfying to see these…

Five Star review for All Star Batman

Travis

Scott Snyder pulls out all the stops in his new Batman book, All Star Batman. I am an enthusiastic fan of Scott Snyder (Batman, Witches) and Greg Capullo’s (Spawn, Batman) as a creative team. Their 4 year run of the Batman title is some of the best story telling I have ever read. Unlike most of the new 52 characters at DC Batman did not change much after Flashpoint. Scott continued to build on an already rich Batman mythos giving us the court owls, death of the family, year zero,…

Suicide Squad: Takes A licking From The Critics

Walt

The Suicide Squad Movie was seen by many critics who felt it was their duty to tell us what a failure in cinematic quality it is. The Tomatometer at Rotten Tomatoes sets at 26% which ties it with Green Lantern from Year 2011 and Superman III from the Year 1983, both not the best films by Warner Bros. On Rotten Tomatoes the Critics Consensus: Suicide Squad boasts a talented cast and a little more humor than previous DCEU efforts, but they aren’t enough to save the disappointing end result from…

David Ayer Reacts to Negative Reviews

Walt

When noon struck on Aug. 2, the Suicide Squad review embargo ended, bringing a whole new wave of critical scorn and disappointment from fans upon DC. While it didn’t take long for a gloomy picture to get painted on Rotten Tomatoes, it didn’t take long for writer/director David Ayer to defend his film either. Ayer first responded on Twitter by repeating a quote from Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapta, translating to “I’d prefer to die on my feet than to live on my knees.” Ayer then tweeted in English without quoting…

Amazing Spider-Man #2 review

Walt

This issue picks up right where the last issue left off and deals with Peter Parker’s relationship with Anna Maria Marconi. In fact I have to admit the first few pages of this comic had me legitimately surprised. I wasn’t expecting Peter to problem the way he did. SPOILER I was rather shocked when Peter not only openly admitted he was Spider-Man, but explained the entire situation regarding the body-swap with Doc. Ock. I’ll have to admit Anna’s open acceptance of the situation stuck me as a bit strange, but…

Another Man Of Steel Review

Seth

May I introduce Seth one of our young Comics Talk readers who has submitted his own Man Of Steel review. He is a superhero comic and movie fan and this is a 15 year old take on the Superman movie, Spoilers Ahead: DC comics continues to blow my mind with their spectacularly action packed films. Like the dark knight trilogy, Man of Steel shows us more than just the hero. It shows is who they are as individuals. In this movie, which was like none of the other superman movies,…

Man Of Steel Movie Review

Walt

Comics Talk is not an organization that gets an invitation to see a premier of a movie before it is released to the public so when I saw some of the movie reviews before the release of the movie and a 57% rating by the movie critics at Rotton Tomatoes and I read some of the criticism I was discouraged. But then I saw that in the early assessment of movie goers that 82% of them liked it and many people have not seen it yet I was encouraged. Having…
