Wonder Woman 1984 Movie Review!

December 28, 2020 by Comic Book Herald Staff 5 Comments

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart, but this Christmas HBO Max and Warner Bros released Wonder Woman 1984 via their streaming service in response to the ongoing global pandemic. Wonder Woman is the first big 2 superhero movie released since February 2020’s Birds of Prey, and the sequel to 2017’s immensely successful Wonder Woman.

To break down the instantly divisive film, Comic Book Herald writers and superb comic book critics Sara Century and Zoe Tunnell jump in to talk all things Wonder Woman 1984. [Read more…] about Wonder Woman 1984 Movie Review!

Captain America: The First Avenger – Assembling a Timeless Hero

May 20, 2020 by Matt Draper 1 Comment

There’s a romantic idealism at the center of Captain America. A figure who’s both a relic of the past and a timeless source of inspiration across generations. And while longtime readers have loved Captain America for decades, one film bridged past and present to set the hero on the big screen adventure of a lifetime.

In 2011, Marvel Studios brought Steve Rogers to life in Captain America: The First Avenger, a World War II-set story that sees the transformation of weak and sickly Rogers into a powerful beacon of heroism in a time of conflict and fear. Locked in battle with the vicious Red Skull and fighting the forces of Hydra across Europe, The First Avenger is the fifth installment in the expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe, and one of its purest examples of old fashioned heroism.

Previously On #91: Joker Movie Review!

November 18, 2019 by Dave 3 Comments

There’s a perverse thrill to the Joker. There’s charm in the chaos, comedy in the kills. Whether it’s Mark Hamill’s gleefully sadistic animated rendition, or the Clown Prince copyrighting fish, this is a monster we’ve all wanted to watch for over 80 years.

Even Heath Ledger’s Dark Knight interpretation is humming with electric mystery. I left the theater in 2008 impersonating and quoting Batman’s archenemy. Which is also to give voice to so many people’s greatest fear about Joker directed by Todd Phillips: Joker is a violent madman that still inspires us to smile.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Review!

July 6, 2019 by Dave 1 Comment

What do you want from a follow-up to Avengers: Endgame? Historically, Marvel has followed up the biggest most game-changing events in the MCU with lighter comedies or character introductions (Ant Man & The Wasp, Doctor Strange). The reaction has been a mix of praise (this mint after a heavy meal is exactly what was needed!) and resignation (well, I guess not every story can be the biggest one ever told).

For my money, the MCU’s never needed a transition film with a sense of purpose as strongly as Spider-Man: Far From Home. The entire MCU has come to as close to an ending as a comic book storytelling perpetual motion machine can come. Which of course, leads to the question I’ve been pondering: “What do you want from a follow-up to Avengers: Endgame?” [Read more…] about Spider-Man: Far From Home Review!

Marvel Comics Without Movies (Options for the Future of the MCU!)

May 14, 2019 by Matt Lehn Leave a Comment

It’s only been a few short weeks since the release of Avengers: Endgame and, as expected, speculation is huge as to what comes next. Certainly, there’s already some definite franchises to anchor the MCU into Phase 4 and beyond. However, for as much bankability of, say, a Black Panther 2 or the already-announced intentions for a live-action Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu, there’s still a ton of Marvel properties that have yet to be translated into a filmed medium.

Let’s take a look at some now and pretend “elevator pitch” these concepts into an ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Multiverse. [Read more…] about Marvel Comics Without Movies (Options for the Future of the MCU!)
