These people are to be avoided. It's like coloured stripes on a snake. Keep away.

Early 1974, incredibly. http://marvel.wikia.com/wik…

Oh, I understood it! I just didn't like the execution or the same-ness of it after a film which had distinguished itself and presented a genuinely different viewpoint.

I'd second this. The climax of the third episode, which is simultaneously old-fashioned and truly demented, is where the show came together for me.

Taskmaster is legitimately great - a show designed to pit creative thinkers against each other that happens to be hilarious. I hope the US version ends up better than the UK Drunk History…

For me it's the costumes, the cosmic setting, the scale. If I had a criticism of the way Marvel Comics have sometimes handled the character it's that the writing has sometimes been over-serious. If I had praise for the previous Thor films it's that the light touch has been their saving grace. Leaning into grand and…

Da Hedaya sounds like an awesome member of the Wu Tang Clan.

Two of the best bits, to be fair.

"snarling feminist narrative", not sure if serious.

At some point between 1949 and 1954 he regenerated into John Slattery's Howard Stark.

The naivete that Chilton captures in Thirteen is incredible.

This is sort of the only touchstone reviewers are using, and I think it's because there's nothing else I've ever seen that is remotely close to what's on screen in Doctor Strange.

I think what you are looking for is the street shootout in Winter Soldier.

He does almost no acting at all. The baddies are pretty much Mads Mikkelsen, having a great time in a fairly limited role, and his mute henchmen, of which Adkins is one. Compared to the henchmen in, say, Iron Man 3 he's nearly invisible and completely characterless.

I think the villain and his plan is getting short shrift in the reviews. The film and story are economical, and it is a shame that Mads screen time is limited, but it is very well balanced. The three principal students of The Ancient One (Strange, Mordo and Kaecilius) are all very similar and have parallel paths. They…

I was thinking about this at the weekend after I saw it… Doesn't Arnim Zola say he has an algorithm to wipe out potential threats before they emerge? Dr Strange, even before the accident, has "uncooperative, inflexible dude with a highly suspicious surname" stamped all over him. He's basically front of the queue for…

I'm going to say 3, 5, 1, 2, 4. The third is wonderful.

The international cut is horribly neutered. The horror stays, but the context and characterisation is razored. You need Hemming's chauvinism, then you need it to be mocked, all the while exploring his intuition and "feminine" traits for the ending to land like it does. Without that stuff, it's just murders. Stylish…

I don't mind the brevity of the ending, because it ties into the nightmare/fairy tale feeling of the whole film.

Deep Red is more than two hours long and there's barely an ounce of fat on it.
