mL2639_1024x1024My first run as an online film critic began with a Spider-Man review, so it’s only natural for me to try and start a new one in the same way.

STRAIGHT UP: Standout action and character work; among Marvel’s best. 4/5

Avengers Assemble! I couldn’t call myself a film critic if I missed out on this.

What’s It About? When Tony Stark’s latest AI creation goes rogue and constructs a homicidal robot army, only the combined efforts of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes can save the day.

STRAIGHT UP: The WrestleMania of superhero films. That’s mostly a compliment. 9/10

I’ve still got Power Rangers on the brain, so I guess it’s time to revisit the official Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie.

What’s It About? When intergalactic villain Ivan Ooze is accidentally released from his prison on Earth, six teenage heroes must go on a journey to acquire the power to defeat him.

STRAIGHT UP: Plot, characters, action sequences are all a mess. Oh no! 3/10
