While Zack Snyder attempted to give a more science-fiction-driven adaptation, it fails to capture the genuine heart that has driven this archetypal hero since his first appearance in comic books. And since Snyder’s DCEU never quite… Continue reading Movie Review: SUPERMAN Gives The Comic Book Fans The Treatment They Want
Jurassic World: Rebirth – A Fossilized Franchise in Desperate Need of Extinction
There’s suspension of disbelief, and then there’s Jurassic World: Rebirth—the latest, and hopefully final, gasp from a franchise that once roared but now mostly wheezes.
