Posted on December 24, 2018 by Jeroen Admiraal

9/10 This is not only my favorite animated movie of the year, not only my favorite comic book movie of the year (and that’s in the year that featured Avengers: Infinity War), but it may even be my favorite movie … Continue reading →

Aquaman (2018) Review

Posted on December 19, 2018 by Jeroen Admiraal

A.K.A. Wet Panther. The story is pretty much what you would expect from the well-known, often used template of a lost heir who has to return to claim his true place on the throne. Sounds like The Lion King, or, … Continue reading →

Venom (2018) Review

Posted on December 5, 2018 by Jeroen Admiraal

It is rather strange to give classic comic book villains – Venom, The Joker – their own movies. Villains exist in opposition to the heroes; it would be like filming The Dark Knight without the Joker. If you, instead, make … Continue reading →

Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) review

Posted on August 1, 2018 by Jeroen Admiraal

Justice League (2017) Review

Posted on November 18, 2017 by Jeroen Admiraal

First thoughts are that this was way better than Batman v Superman (2016). The story is at least comprehensible, which is low hanging fruit when it comes to improvements and the least they could do. So, in a rather straightforward fashion, … Continue reading →

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Review

Posted on July 10, 2017 by Jeroen Admiraal

7.5/10 2017 is shaping up to be an amazing year for comic book movies. First we got Logan, giving a strong ending to the X-Men after the mediocre X-Men: Apocalypse, then Guardians of the Galaxy 2 which was a lot … Continue reading →

Wonder Woman (2017) compared to Man of Steel (2013).

Posted on June 16, 2017 by Jeroen Admiraal
