Logan reviews Doctor Strange!
Check out Logan’s thoughts on the latest Marvel adventure!
Review – Dr. Strange
The Marvel Comic Universe has widely considered to be made of three distinct sections, Earth, Comic and Mythical. Earth and Cosmic have already been touched upon in the MCU but Mythical hasn’t until now and with good reason, because of the rule-bending nature a central universe needed to be established first before Marvel brought in its Sorcerer Supreme. As it stands, what Doctor Strange lacks in narrative it makes up for in being arguably the most imaginative MCU movie to date.
Spidey’s Comin’ Home
by Logan Myerz
Spiderman is one of the OGs of the comic book-to-film realm over the past decade and has been portrayed by a few different actors thus far. Old Spidey has been caught in a web of filmmaking politics so to speak, with recasts, reboots, and different scripts. But this time, Peter Parker is finally at home with Sony Pictures in Spiderman: Homecoming, starring the young and talented Tom Holland. The Spiderman character made a guest appearance in the recent Marvel Studios film, Captain America: Civil War which was probably the best onscreen depiction of Peter Parker/Spiderman to date. Even though the on-screen time was short lived, it made a huge impact on the studio and the general audience which begged the question “Why haven’t we received this type of solo Spiderman movie yet?”
Let’s be honest here, Sam Raimi’s Spiderman 1 + 2 were pretty damn good, but the 3rd film was atrocious; Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spiderman films were regurgitated and overall forgettable. We now know that if the audience and fans ask, they will FINALLY receive.
Spiderman: Homecoming has announced some pretty big players in the game that will be starring in this film such as Michael Keaton (Vulture), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Marisa Tomei (Aunt May), and Donald Glover. But recently, Hollywood Reporter confirmed that AMC’s Better Call Saul star, Michael Mando, (better known as Nacho in the show), was just cast as an unknown character in the movie.
But what’s really extraordinary about this film is Jon Watts (Clown) is directing the film and he’s a young director that doesn’t have a lot of films under his belt. This may be a refreshing take on the Peter Parker character that we needed all along with fresh eyes and a clearer focus.
As the cast list continues to fill up and the filming continues to move forward in Atlanta, we will get to see more updates of the cast and which direction they are moving with the webbed warrior. If anything, it can’t be any worse than Spiderman 3 right?
Spiderman: Homecoming is scheduled for a July 7th, 2017 release date.
Review – Captain America: Civil War
by Kevin Muller
Joss Whedon, the geek savior of television and movies, hit it big with 2012’s ‘The Avengers.” It was a buildup of not only the super heroes, but the promise of what everyone was waiting for, a team movie that would fulfill so many dreams of the loyal fans of these characters. Whedon hit it out of the park giving us great acting and snappy dialogue to make the movie a massive success both critically and financially. We all anticipated the phase 2 Avengers movie that we had to wait three years to drop. Fast forward three years and three solo films later, and you would’ve thought that Whedon created a cinematic abortion with “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”
Review – Captain America: Civil War
Following the surprise hit of The Winter Soldier, a film that many argue is the best MCU film to date, there was a lot of anticipation for The Russo Brothers’ return to the franchise with Captain America: Civil War, taken from the iconic comic book of the same name. Not only do the Russos prove their capabilities within the MCU in the lead up to Infinity War, but they kick off Phase 3 with a bang, leading to one of the most mature Marvel films so far.
