One of the hardest things we do here at ScreenGeek is critique films. It’s because films are subjective. After all, its a form of escapism that doesn’t work for every person. And, critiques tend to be even more divisive than a film can be. At the end of the day, all we do as critics is give our opinion on the film as we saw it. The problem is, some critics forget to be fans, and take their jobs a little too seriously. They assume that every single film should be some kind of major social statement and an incredible…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is steadily moving towards their future films. The Black Widow solo movie is only 8 months from release, and is about to wrap up principal shooting. The film set to follow, and be the first true film of the MCU’s Phase 4, is The Eternals. While the characters are slightly more obscure than what most of the casual Marvel fans are aware of, this movie is set to have a huge impact on the future of the MCU. And, with an all star cast, the film looks to be another home run. Now, the first BTS…

There was a time in cinema when space exploration was a thing of deep science fiction, with insane spaceships, fantastical aliens, and impossible technology. Now, as the human races advances exponentially forward, interstellar space travel seems not only possible, but imminent. And Hollywood has followed suit, with more “grounded” space films. However, they don’t all hit the mark. Take Ad Astra, for example. The film fails in every sense. It’s slow pace never really picks up. It seems to build to a big twist or two, only to let you down with no twist at all. The film truly feels like…

Competition breeds success. It’s not just a fancy cat poster on your office break room wall. It’s a reality in life. When you’re at the top of the hill, and there’s no one nipping at your heels, you get complacent. Many people think this is exactly what has happened to the WWE. Having been pretty much the lone wrestling option for nearly two decades now, many fans have felt that the product has dwindled. This may change soon, as a new competitor is on its way. And they just bought some commercial time on a WWE program. NXT, WWE’s farm/third…

There is a saying in literature that there are only 32 stories that can be told. It is the twists that writers put on these stories that give of an infinite number of new, fresh, and unique tales. Apparently, Hollywood didn’t get that memo. It seems that Hollywood is at some sort of crossroads. If you can’t make a big budget superhero movie, then just reboot a classic! Hollywood is seemingly remaking every beloved classic nowadays, from Disney making live action versions of their vintage animated films. Rumor has it that there’s a Face/Off reboot in the works. Now, it…

World Wrestling Entertainment is far and wide the standard barrier when it comes to pro wrestling/sports entertainment. Monday Night Raw is the longest running episodic television show in the history of media, and Smackdown isn’t far behind. However, WWE is starting to have some of the worst ratings in the history of the company. And, with new competition coming in the form of AEW coming to TNT soon, the brand definitely needs a shot in the arm. But, could that new spark come from a legend from a previous era in Stone Cold Steve Austin? Steve Austin is one of,…

Ever since the Disney/Fox merger was completed, fans have been clamoring for some of their favorite characters to be brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel’s Merry Mutants, the X-Men, and Marvel’s First Family, The Fantastic Four, are obviously the biggest acquisitions, but with them come a slew of supporting characters that are just as complex and interesting as any of the big names. Case in point, the Silver Surfer. Galactus’ herald turned cosmic super hero, the Surfer is a beloved character that people really want to see get the MCU treatment. Now, it may just be happening. According to…

We are in the Age of Superheroes in cinema. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a multibillion dollar powerhouse in Hollywood, with fans flocking in droves to theaters to see their amazing movies. They have even garnered the highest grossing movie of all time with Avengers: Endgame. Unfortunately, with this cornucopia of fantastic super movies comes the Age of Rumors. Some sites have taken this sea of rabid fans as fodder for their clickbait and have thrown tons of things at the wall to see what sticks. The latest involves Magneto and Denzel Washington. We Got This Covered has been at…

Todd Philips’ Joker looks to flip the superhero paradigm on its head. Throwing out all the conventional moves normally made by a comic book movie, Philips went for a smaller budget and a much more character driven story that takes a mirror to society. And, ever since it’s premiere at the Venice Film Festival, the film has been getting rave reviews and even some Oscar buzz. But, not every review has been stellar. In fact, a recent slew on negative reviews has lower the film’s Rotten Tomatoes score. However, Warner Bros isn’t letting this get them down. In fact, they’re…

Avengers: Endgame, the highest grossing movie of all time, is nothing short of a superhero masterpiece. The 3 hour long film gave us a roller coaster of moments, bringing us to the lowest of lows and the highest of highs. There are too many emotional moments to count, but you’d be hard pressed to find a more heartbreaking scene than Tony Stark’s sacrifice to save the universe. Robert Downey Jr. played Iron Man perfectly for over a decade, embodying the character to a tee. Now, it almost feels like there is a void in all fans’ hearts, but we may…
