Review - SECRET INVASION - Episodes 1+2 (2023) moviebob 2023-06-22 | MILD SPOILER WARNINGReview of the first two episodes from Marvel's anticipated new Disney-Plus scifi series "SECRET INVASION;" a paranoid-scifi thriller loosely inspired by the comic of the same title featuring Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury investigating the possibility that a scheme to destabilize the world is being fomented by shape-shifting alien invaders within the Marvel Universe.#SecretInvasion #DisneyPlus #Marvel
Review - THE FLASH (2023) moviebob 2023-06-15 | ALSO - "MARTHABOX: The Pointless Life & Meaningless Death of The DCEU"youtube.com/watch?v=QQeoXYCsLPY&list=PL1WoYVvJ35Xr3iuCADRH6X1CyqihXPOiJAfter a decade-plus of development hell, dozens of directors, writers, scripts, retoolings, a global Pandemic and a lead-actor's INTERNATIONAL CRIME SPREE; the most interesting thing that can maybe be said about "THE FLASH" is that - after all that - it somehow manages to wriggle out from under its hefty but compelling extra baggage to stand up on its own as… actually just a completely average, unremarkable superhero movie.#TheFlash #TheFlashMovie #Flash #DCEU
9 (2009) - Retro Review moviebob 2023-06-12 | Retro review of "9," an animated movie you don't remember and that the content-sorting algorithm will bury because of the way they insisted on titling it. But if you find this video anyway there's some new commentary about that, so... welcome, I guess?

Review - TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS (2023) moviebob 2023-06-10 | And now, an exhausted but enthusiastic critic offers his take on the latest "TRANSFORMERS" feature; which in some respects aims to do for toy robots what "SPIDERVERSE" did for Marvel superheroes but mostly delivers on a retro-cool blitz of 90s nostalgia and deliberately preposterous sci-fi spectacle that (also mostly) get's the job done.#Transformers #RiseOfTheBeasts #transformersriseofthebeasts #hasbro

Review - SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE (2023) moviebob 2023-06-02 | Also Check Out: "MARTHABOX"youtube.com/watch?v=QQeoXYCsLPYMiles Morales - aka Spider-Man - once again encounters a multiversal threat that brings him into contact with an even wider array of fellow Spider-Person incarnations from across infinite realities... but this time there's a bigger mystery at hand and not everyone may be on his side as the sequel to the game-changing "INTO THE SPIDERVERSE" blasts its whole concept wide open for a much bigger, much more challenging story that sets up even more new adventures to come. Thrilling stuff that wows the senses while delivering a real story that hits different and nearly-equals its modern classic predecessor.#acrossthespiderverse #spidermanmilesmorales #spiderverse #spiderman #marvel

The best of the what's now clearly Marvel's best franchise/trilogy and very possibly the new top-tier movie of the MCU ...and featuring the most despicably evil movie villain to haunt the screen in ages.

WE LIVED IN A SOCIETY - The Bigger Picture moviebob 2023-03-14 | "Pointless Memories of A Stupid Moment When We All Cared WAY Too Much About 'JOKER'"(RE-UPLOAD! Please like, share, comment and re-post 👍)As part of a longer term project to compile a "retrospective documentary" of my decade in covering the failure of the DC Extended Universe movies, the financial collapse of Warner Bros and the entire cultural history surrounding the same; it became clear that there was A LOT of "JOKER" coverage in there in particular during the 2019-2020 period between the actual review and when "THE BIG PICTURE" was running twice weekly - so much so that it could sustain a compilation all on it's own and be interesting in its own right. So here, together, a (mostly) full compilation tracking the announcement, release, awards season buildup, media hype and fallout from a very VERY stupid moment in time 🤦♂️#Joker #JokerMovie #dceu
Review - WILLOW (2022 Series) moviebob 2023-03-06 | Warwick Davis revives his iconic role as an unlikely sorcerer in what may be the unlikeliest nostalgia-revival in the post-Disney-acquisition Lucasfilm canon; playing wizened mentor to a thoroughly Gen-Z questing party on a mission in a fantasy realm that swings cheerfully between earnest youthful freshness with unapologetic old-fashioned High Fantasy template-respect to unexpectedly charming results. #willow #Disney #disneyplus

Not just to get better at it, but to understand how sometimes "bad analysis" is BAD on purpose - and what shows up later as sloppy ill-informed critique starts out as deliberate and insidious dumbing down ...and no, it still doesn't mean you have to "like" (or dislike!) the talking bracelet game 🤷♂️#Forspoken #playstation #Marvel

With lots of surprises, unique pulls, weird stuff people weren't expecting and also maybe nifty clues to what may or may not be coming?
