The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B+ Superman is one of my most anticipated movies of the year because I grew up reading Superman comics and, for the love of God, I just wanted to see a good Superman movie released during my lifetime. I don’t want a dark, gritty Superman. I want the Superman that I […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D+ I’m at a place now with the MCU that I can look at a mess like Captain America: Brave New World and think “well, that could have been worse.” And it could have been worse. This is a better film than, say, The Marvels or Eternals. It’s not good that […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B+ Marvel Jesus, indeed. Deadpool & Wolverine has arrived to resuscitate the Marvel Universe, the once unstoppable juggernaut that has been on life support in recent years due to a string of critical and commercial flops (with the exception of the excellent Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3). The enormous box […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D When most people saw the trailer for Madame Web, they collectively asked the same question: What the fuck is this? That includes star actress Dakota Johnson, who quit her talent agency when the trailer was released. Having now seen the film, I can’t answer that question, but I can add […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the swan song for the DC Cinematic Universe (or whatever it’s called) that started back in 2013 with Man of Steel. With the DC films being fully rebooted with a new Superman movie in 2025, let’s all pause for a moment of silence in […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D Much is being made about the abysmal box office performance of The Marvels and, really, it’s hard to understand why this isn’t a smash hit. It’s a team-up with characters that few people care about and a sequel to a television series that few people care about with a plot […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C- I should begin by acknowledging that I am seemingly the only person in the world that doesn’t like these movies. It’s not that I think Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and its predecessor are terrible films. It’s just that I really, really don’t care. I don’t care about the Miles Morales […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D It’s amazing that it has taken this long for a Flash movie to get made. In a world where we are getting to the bottom of the barrel when it comes to superheroes to bring to the big screen, The Flash is basically the last A-list character to get their […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: A- I had pretty much given up on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ever since Avengers: Endgame, these movies have ranged from mediocre to awful, with the majority of them leaning closer to the latter. Even though the original Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite MCU movie, I was completely indifferent […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D+ I quite liked the original Shazam!, which served as a nice departure from the overly self-serious tone of the DC films of the time. Feeling more like an Amblin production from the 80s than a modern superhero film, it was a fun, lighthearted, child-centric film that also had weight to […]
