The Top 5 Films Based on Marvel Comics

With the imminent release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and following the multiversal hi-jinks of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the lines between the canon MCU films and the other ‘legacy’ films are becoming more and more blurred and in the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel it appears Patrick Stewart’s Professor Charles Xavier is about to make a return.

To honour this, I thought I would whittle down the 60+ films based on Marvel Comics to just the top 5. That’s 1998’s Blade all the way through to Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Review

“You don’t want any part of this.” After the bittersweet conclusion to the Marvel machine’s main story line in Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home is a much needed breath of fresh air and somewhat of a palette cleanser. Dealing with the death of his mentor and father figure, Tony Stark, the film sees Tom […]

Avengers: Endgame (2019) – Review

This is it, we’re in the endgame now. After a decade of films, this film is wrapping it all up. Has there ever been so much hype behind a film? But somehow the Russos have done it. They’ve made something astounding.

Captain Marvel (2019) – Review

What I’m Reading – ‘Fury’ by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson

Garth Ennis tackles Nick Fury! And if you’ve read any of his work before, especially his run on The Punisher, you probably know what to expect. But that doesn’t make it any less impressive when Nick Fury strangles a man with their own intestines.

Black Panther (2018) Review

As Black Panther goes on to become on of Marvel’s top grossing films, and it’s best reviewed film ever, we have a look and see if it’s really as good as everyone is claiming…

Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Review

Thor has a few good movies under his belt, but it’s unlikely most people would pick him as their favourite Avenger. But expect that to soon change once the world has seen Thor: Ragnarok.

Funny, exciting, beautiful to look at and listen to – Thor: Ragnarok is the Thor film we’ve all been waiting…Thor.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Review

After his scene-stealing appearance in Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man gets his own film. About time! Said no one, this being the character’s 6th solo film.

Have director Jon Watts (Cop Car) and star Tom Holland done enough to differentiate themselves from previous incarnations of the famous wall crawler?

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) Review

The Guardians of the Galaxy are back! Once again in the trusty and insane hands of James Gunn.

The first film was such a surprise. Was it a happy accident or have Marvel done it again?
