Venom: Let There Be Carnage review by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsNovember 2, 20210Comments

So. This is weird. I did not have ANY expectations whatsoever going into watching the Venom sequel "Let There Be Carnage". And it certainly left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson were a treat to watch as the titular characters, as well as Naomie Harris (of Pirates of the Caribbean…

The Suicide Squad film review by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsAugust 5, 20210Comments

When they first announced a quasi-sequel to the poorly put-together but brilliantly casted original Suicide Squad movie, I was relieved. The other entire concept of the squad - the expendables of the DC universe, essentially - were too good to go to waste. Handled by James Gunn and being allowed to truly go off the…

Godzilla Vs Kong – Film review by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsApril 2, 20210Comments

Definitely a step up from Kong: Skull Island (which I truly liked) and Godzilla (so and so), but a step lower from Godzilla: King of Monsters (which I REALLY liked), the movie has a better story than some of its precedents but what stops it short from being excellent is two major things: some things…

Batman V Superman film review by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsMarch 16, 20210Comments

The notoriously divisive Batman v Superman suffered a great disadvantage when it was released in the form it did in mainstream theaters; not that the ultimate cut was perfect, but some glaring plot holes were smoothed over far better in such a way that most fans - myself included - refuse to watch it in…

Man of Steel review by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsMarch 14, 20210Comments

In the run-up to the release of the much-anticipated Snyder Cut of the Justice League, I will be rewatching the movies preceding it from the DCEU related directly to the movie (i.e. MoS, BvS and the Joss Whedon cut) to celebrate and MAYBE the others from the same universe. Rewatching it the 8th (or so) time,…
