Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C                I seemingly wrote the world’s only negative review of the first Black Panther back in 2018 and I’ve suspected that that review is one of the main reasons why my applications to monetize my website have been denied. Well, I’m still not making any money off of this, so I […]

Black Adam

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D                The Rock has been talking about making a Black Adam movie since the late 2000s. Given that amount of time for planning, its kind of amazing how uninteresting the final product is. Black Adam is a failure as both a standalone movie and when considered as an adaptation, but its […]

Thor: Love and Thunder

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C-                Thor: Ragnarok is one of my favorite movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), largely because the chemistry between the main characters combined with the quirky humor and tone set it apart from other MCU entries. Returning director Taika Waititi apparently took one lesson from the success of Ragnarok: people […]

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D+                Bear with me for a moment on this one.                I collected comic books, making a weekly trek to my comic shop, for the majority of my life. I finally gave it up around 2010 because, simply put, I no longer enjoyed new comics. There were a number of contributing […]

Morbius

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D                I don’t normally read other reviews before writing my own, but I couldn’t help but notice the incredibly negative buzz on Morbius. To that buzz, I say the following: welcome to the party, everyone! I’ve been saying for the last couple years that most Marvel movies have become generic and […]

The Batman

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B-               The Batman isn’t necessarily the Batman that I want or the Batman that I think we need right now, but I can’t deny that it has merit. I recently heard an interesting comment on one of my favorite podcasts (Best Movies Never Made, I listen to it on Stitcher) that […]

Spider-Man: No Way Home

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C               It’s Christmas time and I feel like I’m sledding down Mount Crumpit to steal toys from all the girls and boys with the following statement: Spiderman: No Way Home isn’t very good. I know, I know. I must be a curmudgeon because this movie seems to be universally loved. I […]

Eternals

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D+                This being the fourth Marvel movie of the year, with a fifth one coming before the year ends, I’m really running out of shit to say about these things. Lame CGI monsters and lamer comic relief and blah blah. Whatever. Let’s just get fucking on with it.                Eternals reveals […]

Venom: Let There Be Carnage

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: F                Venom: Let There Be Carnage is one of the worst comic book movies ever made and I think I’ve seen every one of them. I hated every second of this film. I hated every second of the experience of watching this film, and I’ll review the audience at the end. […]

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C-                As a fan of martial arts movies from the 70s and 80s, I was looking forward to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in hopes that it would infuse some new flavor into the Marvel formula. While there are some kickass moments in early fight scenes and some […]
