Frank Miller's starkly black-and-white (or should that be noir and white?) comic didn't seem an obvious candidate for a movie adaptation, but Robert Rodriguez used green-screen technology to perfectly capture its sharp definition and clean angles, smartly juggling its interwoven tales of dark deeds on dark streets, where men are men and women are, ...
They said it couldn't be done. How could anyone ever successfully bring Alan Moore's classic comic to life on screen? Whether you enjoyed the Watchmen film or preferred HBO's more recent series, director Zack Snyder must be lauded for tackling such an ambitious project, pushing the boundaries of what superhero cinema was capable of back in 2009.
Man of Steelgraced us all with Henry Cavill, the man whose jaw could cut through anything, as the titular Superman. In this 2013 reboot, Clark Kent is forced to confront his alien heritage and the magnitude of his existence on Earth, when malevolent members of his race arrive with a catastrophic agenda.
While the MCU was still finding its feet, Alan Taylor had the difficult job of following Kenneth Branagh's weighty, Shakespeare-flavoured Thorwith a story that introduced the Aether (later recognised as the Reality Stone) into the cinematic cosmos. Christopher Eccleston may not have enjoyed his time on the movie playing Malekith the Dark Elf, but y...
Though Suicide Squad gifted us with Margot Robbie's take on Harley Quinn, it cast a long shadow on the future of her character. Luckily, we got Birds of Prey– a neon-blood-soaked, funny, violent, anti-hero caper. The male gaze is happily obliterated in a technicolour firework display, but not at the expense of a raucously good time.
The second Bourne movie feels a little overlooked these days, but at the time it revolutionised action movies. Paul Greengrass, fresh off the gritty, realistic drama Omagh, brought an urgency and handheld vitality to the genre, grounding Jason Bourne100% in the real world. And that climactic car chase through Moscow is an absolute classic of its ki...
Perhaps the most emotional of the franchise, Furious 7 was Paul Walker's last appearance in the series after his death in 2013. The movie follows a similar plot to, well, every other Fast & Furiousfilm, except that it had the unexpected and certainly unwanted emotional core of having to bid farewell to one of its stars.
Fast 5marks the moment when the franchise moved away from its tried-and-true plot of street racing and towards the action/heist/suspense stories. It was a move that paid off. It's also the first appearance of Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs, a character who would eventually get his own spin-off with Jason Statham and Idris Elba.
Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox starred in this actually enjoyable film adaptation of the popular toy line and animated series. Though the objectification of Fox was a bit icky, the movie had heart – plus Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime. The remaining sequels would never reach the same level as the 2007 original (excepting Bumblebee), so we remember this ...
Such a refreshing change to see Tom Hardy's actual face (not pictured). Playing Eddie Brock (and at least some part of his motion-capture/ CGI symbiote parasite) evidently appealed to some deep desire to do slapstick. Although the film is a violent action superhero spin-off, it's also a comedy, and Hardy throws himself into the role with gusto. The...
