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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: A- I wasn’t writing reviews yet when the first Suicide Squad was released in 2016, but that’s probably for the best as I’m not sure if my vocabulary could adequately describe my hatred for that loathsome piece of shit. The Suicide Squad doesn’t exactly have an inspired title, but otherwise feels […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B On one hand, I’m ecstatic to finally see Black Widow in theaters. Why? Because I psychologically couldn’t handle seeing the trailer anymore. As one of the high-profile releases delayed an entire year by the pandemic, I have seen Black Widow’s trailer every fucking week for the last year and a […]
