Watchmen Season 1

Reviews, TelevisionJanuary 20, 20200Comments
For fans and comic book purists the 1986 Watchmen limited series would be a seminal and go to work that opened the doors for a darker and more dystopian take on the superhero genre. Zack Snyder’s well received 2009 movie adaptation got many things right; most notably the tonality, visual aesthetics and casting but adhered to a rigid…

JOKER

Movies, ReviewsNovember 6, 20190Comments
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…

Titans season 2

Reviews, TelevisionSeptember 9, 20190Comments
*Major spoilers ahead for Titans season 1*: When the first season of Titans dropped last year, it was met some criticism (its dark tone, character portrayal, and excessive violence), but as it progressed, it began to win the audience over, myself included. Eventually, this darker and more mature take on the infamous teenage superhero team…

Aladdin

Movies, ReviewsAugust 28, 20190Comments
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…

John Wick

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…

Marvel’s Avengers – gameplay as mighty as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! (Marvel’s Avengers Gameplay Review by the Maltese Geek)

Games, ReviewsAugust 26, 20190Comments
Square Enix's upcoming Avengers game has been shrouded in mystery (and quite often, scepticism) for quite a while. The gameplay demo was constantly shown behind closed doors during certain events (E3, SDCC, etc.) and leaks were constantly popping up on different social media platforms. Less than a week ago, Square Enix finally released the…
