Was Black Widow wank fodder...? Well, I suppose if you're actively looking for that then possibly so, yes. But! She was better served here than in IM2 where she really was a bit superfulous, to say the least. I'd agree that the skin tight suits the female characters wear are silly and that his how t...

I don't watch many modern action films because they all seem to be this bad. Cheap joke: And yet you liked Dark Of The Moon?! In all seriousness, the plot and structure of Avengers and DOTM are pretty similar, so why is DOTM the better film? Is it because for Transformers, you know its Bay film so ...

Whilst I do like some of the CHUG stuff, there is a large part of me that thinks its utterly redundant. I think I'd be happier with the concept if it was a full blown line like Warcry says, instead of a sop to fans that's chucked out when ever there's a lull in activity from mainline stuff. It also ...

You see, I have the exact same problem with all these 'critically acclaimed' comics, they never quite live up to what you expect of them. I think it's often difficult to contextualise stuff like that. At the time I first read 'The Killing Joke', (early 1990s), the comics I was reading then were quit...

I wonder if the reason i didn't like DOTM so much was beacuse it was just more of the same. Nothing had really moved on from the first two films, they followed the same formula - introduce characters/backstory/ early showpiece action sequence/ some more plot/ silly humour/ fighty bit/ plot/ toilet h...

Here are Batman things what I have liked: The Dark Knight Returns - praised to the heavens by all and sundry, but i think that probably says more about the state of Batman comics at the time (this was done in 1986) Batman : Year One - Frank Miller's early years of Batman. Batman ; Arkham Ayslum - Gr...

I think Tennant may have given a similar giddy performance, in honesty. Eccles prbably would have done that striaghter, but then he struggled with bringing the humorous material properly to life, just coming across as camp - much like he did in an episode of the League Of Gentlemen playing the owner...

Yeah, Harley has pish all leg articulation, but I don't mind. I don't like action figures to have an insane amount of joints or you end up with messes like Toy Biz's Marvel figures. I have a Spider Woman toy and she just looks ugly because she just a pile of joints. She looks like one of those woode...

Because I am a massive hippocrite, I did buy this guy from TRU yesterday (I was on another futile hunt for a Prime Vehicon, or anything over Waves 1 & 2 in Prime, but alas it was not to be...). Have to say, he's more impressive than I thought he would be. The alt mode isn't as bad as I thought i...

Well the trader fella did chuck all the silurians in stasis out of the airlock of their craft purely because they were of no value. the scientist was a war criminal by virtue of creating cyborg killing machines and dealing in the sort of dispassionate dismissal of life war commands. In their own way...

i think writing Who has really 'clicked' now for Chris Chibnall. whilst not as good as 'Dinosaurs On A Spaceship', the slightly striaghter 'Power Of Three' was also very good. I did feel that the climax to the latest alien threat didn't get the payoff it quite deserved, but I was buoyed along by the...

I picked this up on Friday and have read this nicely (maybe even silently moving my lips when doing so). Woo. The Transformers origin, the 13, all that cobblers has felt like its hung heavy over the franchise since the Dreamwave days and frankly its about as interesting to me as Batman endlessly ble...

He looks pretty good :) I ended up buying the Arkham Asylum Harley Quinn figure. She's awesome (and quite sexy, in a dead eyed clearly on drugs kind of way) and has some excellent detailing, including a cute tatoo and a big baseball bat. Brilliant. I'd still really like an Azrael Batman figure, but ...

well, the film doesn't lose anything for having someone getting stabbed edited out. just goes to show how much that scene registered with me. f**kin' crybaby fanboys, its not as if the story is utterly destroyed by removing that... Hmm. Interesting that the Sainsbury's release has the commentary on....

Drive I got which I bloody love. I think Harold Pinter wrote the dialgoue though - no one really taks much, and its all about the slight nuances of fols behaviour. Ace noodly electro soundtrack too :) I also got Marvel Avengers Assemble (which is what Avengers is rather clumsily titled on the off ch...

I didn't end up buying this when I went to my comic shop yesterday. I had a leaf through it and wasn't terribly impressed. I just feel this book really is raking over the past and that's not a good thing. It's a bit like 'ooh remember that bit, well...' rather than developing the scope of the origin...

Terradive still has him beat. The colours are just yuck on Space Case, and the rounded head really doesn't suit all the sharp angles of the robot mode. Basically, how to take an awesome mould and make it look poop. It's bad enough to be knock off quality in my book - which, amusingly, is how a lot o...

Hmm 'A Town Called Mercy'...not Whithouse's best Who script, but a much better morality play than the earlier 'Boom Town'. Favourite scene was The Doctor, Amy and Rory passing the hat amongst each other. Thing that I largely disliked about this episode was that bloody stupid voice they gave the Guns...
