Sonic the Hedgehog

“Give the people what they want”. After the negative response to the first Sonic trailer, it seemed as if Paramount Pictures had learned from their mistake and the new design for the blue hedgehog, we all know and love was unveiled. Gone were the beady eyes and almost-too-real face and the audience was instead treated…

JOKER

I was very ambivalent as to whether or not to watch Todd Phillips' Joker (2019) at first; I was very initially apprehensive about it being made to begin with, for the simple reason that I find that giving a definite origin to the character - who is not a favorite of mine in the comics…

X-Men: Dark Phoenix

Movies, ReviewsSeptember 23, 20190Comments

It is time to bid farewell to Fox s version of the merry mutants and while it was a mostly fun ride - with a few major exceptions thrown for good measure - I cannot in good conscience throw this one among them as other critics did. X-Men: Dark Phoenix is the last ride of…

Aladdin

The movie is just brilliant. There are very little *bad* things, just distractions. The best thing about the movie is definitely Will Smith, whose makes a triumphant return to his comedic roots (which I believe is his forte) and is very much reminiscent of his days in the Fresh Prince, and definitely does not try…

With all the buzz around Keanu Reeves' triumphant return to the big screen, I just HAD to watch the movie that started it all and...I don't get it. The movie is not rubbish at all, mind you. In fact I like how it is filmed. But...I don't get what the fuss is all about. It's…

Mowgli

Movies, ReviewsAugust 26, 20190Comments

Andy Serkis' Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (2018) should have been more than a Netflix treatment. So much more. What makes it so outstanding is probably the amount of expression put into each character while not completely abandoning what animals behave like. It is probably the route Disney should have taken when making their Lion…

A retrospective to Fox’s X-Men: The original Trilogy by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsAugust 21, 20190Comments

Despite many knowing me as a major Flash and DC aficionado, my love for all things comics started with Marvel, and, in fact, the X-Men. In fact, like most typical child of the 90’s raised by TV, I was fascinated by their cartoon incarnation heavily inspired what I soon after got to know as the…

Batman: Hush (Movie Review) By The Maltese Geek (AKA James Aquilina)

Movies, ReviewsJuly 30, 20190Comments

*MAJOR SPOILERS if you haven’t seen the film, or if you haven’t read the original graphic novel* After seeing the animated film, Batman: Hush, I decided to reread all 12 issues of the original graphic novel. You want to know what was painful about that? Seeing how more than half of the original story and…

Avengers: Endgame Movie Review by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsMay 18, 20190Comments

Avengers: Endgame (2019) is a cathartic experience. It is certainly not as speculator friendly as its predecessor, Avengers: Infinity War (2018) which I believe stood on its own merits even if one would appreciate it further when having followed the MCU since its inception. The latest, however, does not have this in its favor and…
