Not quite true. I wasn't bored out of my skull by Arrow this season. And it also has a lead actor who can, you know, fight and stunt and stuff.

She's a Ninja! You know, like she was before she died. And like every other villain the series. And in Daredevil. And in Iron Fist. We love Ninjas! They're so… different! They can kick and punch and wield swords and everything. And even throw those cool metal stars!!! Who doesn't love Ninjas??? Ninjas are so cool. You…
Alexandra did NOTHING in this series, had no power set, and obviously old Sigourney Weaver was never going to be a foil for 4 thirtysomething heroes. She was the most pointless villain ever.
This series sucks SO hard. It's like it goes the extra mile to disappoint on every level.
I STILL really don't like Craig as Bond and I really don't like Casino Royale as a whole. Yes, the hand-to-hand scenes are nicely Bournean, and yes, the parkour chase is an incredible jolt of energy - and in my opinion the real reason this movie is liked so much. Because after that, the kinetic energy goes downhill.…
Timothy Dalton did Craig far better than Craig - unfortunately he was lumbered with an awful script (Living Daylights) and a half-decent one (Licence to Kill). If the lawsuits hadn't put the series in hibernation, he probably would have ended up with a few really good ones. Rewatching these two, what impresses me is…
Also, expectations of these less-famous characters (outside of Marveldom) are pretty low, so a simple entertaining movie is seen as a big win.
Ant Man was slight but fun, with some really clever and fun set pieces (his first shrink, the battle in the toy room - that was a really, really good finale). As always (well, almost always) with Marvel, plot and villain were subpar. But the comedy was fresh in the MU context, and as I said, the set pieces rocked.…
This Iron Man 3 praise will not stand. IM3 is an abomination. Worst Marvel movie of them all, bar none. It even has a scrappy rude kid sidekick, for christ's sake. Bad story, bad villain, bad character arc… Just ugh. And to think IGN hyped it up so much I actually looked forward to seeing it, after the turd IM2……
I preferred Dark World by far.
Pretty bad, actually. Cap becomes boring once he's Cap and Thor has a decent first act but becomes a snoozefest after that.
Jamie Loves Cersei.
SAY IT ISN'T SO!!!
I agree that the more low-key, throwaway gags were the best. I disagree about the 'excellent piss/shit jokes', which are all crap (see what I did there?) and moronic, and I don't like stupid comedy. But what disappointed me most about Austin Powers (and I was really looking forward to this movie, and I loved Wayne's…
Well, I cried all the way through the last twenty minutes…
The only thing this show lacks is full frontal.
Lambert, Hendricks and Ross' "Moanin' " as the soundtrack to a urination montage… We are truly living in the golden age of television.
The amazing thing is that as the handsome brother, Ewan McGregor looks more like Robert Lindsay in the '80s/'90s than like himself. He did a very good job.
What else would you expect from Ernesto Fring?
Hydra are fascists pure and simple. Nazis add the racial discrimination thing and Manifest Destiny of the Aryan Race on top of that. So that's why Steve can still fight nazis and kill the Skull while being a grade A++ Hydra fascist.
His morals were actually pretty liberal, with the exception of the inordinate love for self-reliance in any situation which is always pushed by American superhero comics (accepting a hand-out is the greatest sin in the world, apparently). He was openly accepting of the homosexuality of one of his best friends from…
