While maybe the most inconsequential film Marvel has put out into the world (not including a post-credit teaser that is crowd-pleasingly awesome and a little desperate feeling, both at the same time), The Marvels is also one of the fastest paced and most humorously beguiling.

But it is the masterful human saga at The Creator’s center that makes it special, and even if this story isn’t especially innovative, the emotions fueling the action are so intimately satisfying that they lingered with me for hours afterward.

Blue Beetle has a distinctive creative voice that triumphantly needs to be heard.

While there are undeniable instances of magic, there are just as many unintentionally laughable ones right along with them.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is arguably the best film with the word “Transformers” in the title.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is an instant classic.

Not only is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 my favorite film of the series, but it’s also quite possibly the best entry in the entire MCU.

Ant-Man’s return is notable for the villain and not a lot more, meaning this sequel shrinks into the back of the memory rather quickly, disappearing into the multiversal content void almost as if it never existed in the first place.

Cloverfield is an outstanding giant monster movie, and it has only gotten better over the past 15 years.
