Ex: Beverly Hills has a restaurant called 9021-Pho

Already more sexualization than you get in the entire two hour WW movie. The value of strong female directors becomes quickly evident in just a trailer.

I'm not even close to a Snyder defender, but it's going to be really annoying if this movie's online discussion boils down to Ant-Man's "Everything good must have been done by the director I like and the other guy just did the rest of it."

Unfortunately the Eisner-winning comics team rarely does newswire posts outside of the comic previews. These posts tend to miss rather obvious details and settle for tired jokes far too often.

Kind of like the comic event it was based on.

The entire concept of this movie is simply Vile.

Dawn is slightly above it for me just because of the strength of the villain. Koba was way more compelling and sympathetic than any other blockbuster I've seen in recent years. Andy Serkis deservingly gets most of the credit on the motion capture performances, but Toby Kebbell is every bit his equal in that movie. I

Dawn is the kind of sequel that is so good that it elevates the movie that precedes it. Caesar goes from an already great character to an all-timer. Most astonishingly of all, they're able to take some B-roll footage of James Franco's perfunctory performance and turn it into he most emotional scene of the movie.

My biggest problem with AOU was that the endless swarms of non threatening Ultron drones made the action very boring and reminded me of The Phantom Menace at times. I'm looking forward to this change.

Adrian Alphona's artwork levels up in a huge way during that second run.

Right after Charles Soule left the Inhumans line after a few years of stewardship. What do you know…

Imperium is just incredible and I look forward to when you get a chance to read it! Unfortunately, it ends rather suddenly and we don't know when Dysart will have a chance to finish his Toyo Harada saga.

That's actually a problem with a lot of Yen's Hong Kong movies. Dude's always clearly in the lead in the majority of his big fights. In Flashpoint, I spent most of the climactic battle feeling sorry for antagonist Colin Chou, which was not the movie's intention! I've seen sites accuse him of having a big ego on his

Batman Begins' action was way too influenced by Bourne Supremacy to be a major contender for this column.

It's even brilliant from a storytelling perspective. These two guys are top of their class and are on opposite sides of the tracks. One of them is a completely ruthless killer, but in the back and forth you can feel the characters testing each other out and developing a respect in the midst of trying to kill one

I think it's a shorthand for just how underused he is in that particular movie. He only has one fight and it's distractingly chopped up and edited with other less interesting fights happening at the same time. He dies offscreen, for crying out loud!

The CGI and wire-assisted stunts were a lot more noticeable and distracting in the second one for me, which made the fight scenes a little boring over time. The first one is tops for just the alley fight alone.

That rom-com bait and switch was great. I remember my date leaning over at the beginning and saying, "They cast the wrong guy for this - he looks like such a creep!"

Oh man, basically any fight scene featuring Count Vertigo drawn by Sorrentino is an all-timer for me.

Leaving for Japan tonight! This'll be my last day hanging out in the comments section for a couple weeks. See you guys in August!
