REVIEW: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Offers A Simple Story, Timeless Truths

When it comes to video game movies, adaptations can be challenging. They need to stay true to the source material or risk alienating longtime fans. At the same time, to be successful, they must appeal to a wider audience. Ideally, knowledge of the games should enhance the experience—not be required for it. Many reviews of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie have said it’s “for the fans.” That may be true—but it’s not just for gamers.

REVIEW: Peacemaker Season 2 Premiere Proves DCU Is a James Gunn Vanity Project

REVIEW: Peacemaker Season 2 Premiere Proves DCU Is a James Gunn Vanity Project

James Gunn’s much-hyped Peacemaker Season 2 premiere has finally arrived — and I sincerely wish it hadn’t and that I didn’t have to review it… What unspools in the first episode is a chaotic, vulgar, self-indulgent disaster that makes even Gunn’s shaky Superman reboot look like a cinematic triumph by comparison. I enjoyed much of the first season. I like John Cena. But this episode? It is amateurish, infantile dreck with almost nothing redeemable. 

Review: Ice Cube’s ‘War of the Worlds’ Is an Affront to H.G. Wells—An Adaptation Without Comprehension

Review: Ice Cube’s ‘War of the Worlds’ Is an Affront to H.G. Wells—An Adaptation Without Comprehension

War of the Worlds (2025), the latest and perhaps most baffling adaptation of H.G. Wells’ enduring sci-fi novel, is neither a revival nor an evolution. It’s a clinical, creatively bankrupt exercise in screen-life storytelling that somehow manages to insult not just its source material, but the intelligence of its audience as well. To call it a “mockery” would imply the film has enough self-awareness to be in on the joke. It doesn’t.

Ironheart Episodes 4–6 Finale Review: It Got SO Much Worse!

If you thought the first three episodes of Ironheart were bad, buckle up. Somehow, Marvel managed to dig even deeper into the well of awful. The final three episodes of Ironheart don’t just continue the disaster—they accelerate it, hurling the show off a cliff of lazy writing, nonsensical tech, virtue signaling, and a complete disregard for logic or consequence.

Ironheart Episodes 1–3 Review: It’s So So So So Bad!

Ironheart Episodes 1–3 Review: It’s So So So So Bad!

There really isn’t a way to review Ironheart outside of just calling it what it is: bad.

It’s a bad show. It’s bad on every level. From the lazy bad cinematography to the lackluster bad graphics, bad wooden performances, and bad writing, Ironheart is the culmination of everything that’s gone wrong with Marvel television. It’s not just a misfire—it’s a final nail.
