Obviously, a TV series has to have a story compelling enough to carry the show through a 20-something episodes. Unlike a movie, which is only a couple of hours long, a TV series needs to find a balance between delivering regular conclusions so that the viewers feel satisfied, while also setting up new twists and developments, which will keep the viewers wanting to come back. read the full review | |

Incredible Hulk (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Liv Tyler Tim Roth Director: Louis Leterrier | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/14/2009 |  | The Incredible Hulk - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 10/20/2008 8:20 PM | | Reacting to the criticism that 2003's Hulk was too much "Bruce Banner Think" and not enough "Hulk Smash!" director Louis Leterrier crafts a nice compromise between the two. Edward Norton's Banner thinks and worries and tries to keep things under control until The Hulk comes out and starts picking up jeeps, tossing scrap metal at helicopters, and swatting away bullets and tranq syringes like so many gnats. The result doesn't stand up with the epic stories of Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark, but it's a nice way to kill two hours. read the full review | |

Above all, Superman Returns swept me up with its performances, effects, engaging story and sense of nostalgia.

Superman/Batman-Public Enemies | | | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/29/2009 |  | Superman/Batman: Public Enemies (Two-Disc Special Edition) - DVD Review By: The Masked Movie Snobs - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 9/29/2009 10:53 PM | | With the crumbling economy, millions of people out of work, rampant looting and martial law instated in every city across the nation, the citizens of the United States do the unthinkable. They vote in Lex Luthor (Clancy Brown) as President. While the country makes a remarkable recovery under his watch and superheroes who once fought against him are lining up to work for him, there’s still a couple who just aren’t buying his new-and-improved image. And when Lex’s biggest rival, Superman (Tim Daly), won’t bow down to him and take orders, he frames the Man of Steel for the murder of Metallo (John C. McGinley) and places a $1 billion bounty on his head. read the full review | |

This is the point where the comic book movie has truly come into its own, surpassing the usual boundaries to become something more. It’s impossible to give full credit to anyone here, although names can certainly be tossed out as to who made this more special than it would have been without them. It’s not a perfect film by any stretch, but it’s a great thrill ride. read the full review | |

You have to feel sorry for the X-Men franchise. It was once the standard bearer for comic book movies, a monopoly it managed to hold onto until Christopher Nolan and a certain Dark Knight raised and reset the bar substantially higher. Now, the mutant movie series is little more than a fading memory, a reminder of when Hollywood hoped to find a way to translate favorite graphic novels into massive motion picture successes. Oddly enough, Fox may have discovered the secret to staying relevant in a post-Batman reboot era -- and the answer is Hugh Jackman. Capable of carrying even the most mediocre effort, he single-handedly makes X-Men Origins: Wolverine an excellent start to the summer 2009 season. read the full review | |

Heroes-Season 3 | | | Starring: Sendhil Ramamurthy Zachary Quinto Director: Adrian Pasdar | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/1/2009 |  | Heroes - Season Three - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 8/29/2009 8:17 PM | | So is Heroes a television juggernaut that just needs to find its footing again or an overblown mess that blew whatever potential it once had? The third season seems to suggest a little of both. At times it’s incredibly entertaining and it sucks you right in, but it frequently ruins that momentum with unnecessary subplots and a wealth of dialogue that should’ve been sent straight back to the junk factory where it originated from. read the full review | |

McNamara - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 10/1/2008 8:12 PM | | Iron Man is a film that comic book junkies will no doubt love, but it also appeals to those who generally shy away from the superhero genre because it retains a relevance to the world we live in today. War, weapons and terrorism are all hot-button issues surging through the daily news, and Iron Man definitely has a contribution to make to that discussion. read the full review | |

This fourth episode in the Batman series isn’t a movie so much as a theme park. It wasn’t scripted so much as run through the Hollywood script mill, where every line of dialogue is reduced to a catchphrase. “Allow me to break the ice,” says Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), “My name is Freeze. Learn it well. For it’s the chilling sound of your doom.” That groaner is representative of pretty much every line of Batman’s arch-nemesis. He later posits such zingers as, “Tonight, hell freezes over!” and “You’re not sending me to the cooler!” This is not character development so much as paint-by-numbers screenwriting, where you can imagine the gang sitting around wondering what incorrigible pun they’ll come up with next. read the full review | |
