Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5 Episodes 1-3 review - Orientation (parts 1 and 2)/A life Spent


Agents of S.H.I.E.LD. has entered its 5th season. And rather than starting in January when it’s convenient for me, it’s decided to run right in through Christmas, meaning there’s likely to be a long list of episodes I’m covering next time. Let’s start with the 2-parter Orientation.

Marvel Month - Mini Review - Captain America: The Winter Soldier


May I introduce the 2 best directors in the MCU right now: The Russo Brothers


And next up is their debut in the MCU. Captain America: Winter Soldier


Released in early 2014, Captain America: Winter Soldier was very successful, earning $700m on the $177m budget and an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Does it still work? Here are my thoughts:

Marvel Month - Mini Review - The Avengers/Avengers Assemble


Next up in Marvel Month, it’s Time for Avengers assemble


I’ve already done a review of that, and a lot of my complaints still stand is it goes into *sigh* its 4th season, that said I have seen improvements. But this time we’re looking at the other Avengers Assemble


Known as The Avengers in the US, the title was changed to not be mistaken for the British The Avengers, the Nostalgia Critic did his review on that and I have no unique perspective to cover it as I’ve never seen it, it’s a little before my time.

But Avengers Assemble was a massive gamble for Marvel, with a hefty $220m budget, a large cast and the pressure of being that movie everything was all building up to, this movie blew everyone away, meeting their expectations and of course, for Disney, who had recently acquired Marvel, made over $1bn at the box office, $1.5bn to be more precise. This is also the first Marvel movie I ever watched, at the cinema with my soon-to-be uni housemates.

But 2012 was a way away, does it still hold up, let’s take a closer look.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 Episode 1 review - The Ghost

Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. is back baby!


Last year’s season had a strong first half and a second half that proved kinda lacklustre. But we have an interesting premise. Ghost Rider. I’m not all that familiar with the character from the comics and ultimately delving into the mystical elements of the Marvel universe with a rag tag team of mostly normal people kinda worried me. Were my worries justified? Let’s take a look

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 3 Finale review (episodes 20-22)


We've reached the final episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and whilst I have mixed feelings about the back half of the season, S.H.I.E.L.D. has always delivered a good finale, will it continue to form in this season? Let's take a look

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 3 episode 1 review - Laws of Nature

Agents of SHIELD has returned for its third season. When we last left the gang May had taken time off, Coulson lost his hand, Ward was manipulated into killing his own girlfriend and is building a faction of his own in HYDRA and of course the terragen crystal that creates inhumans dissolved into the ecosystem and is slowly spreading across the world. What’s next for Marvel’s premier superhero show?
