Agent Carter: Valediction
Well I guess it had to finally happen. The little “filler” show in between seasons of Agents of Shield had to finally end and I’ll be honest I’m somewhat mixed…

This episode picks up right after last weeks really funky the Blitzkrieg button and continues the fast pace that Agent Carter is known for. While right from the title we’re getting…
Now is Not the End kicks off Agent Carter with a stolen Stark formula, a nightclub bomb and Jarvis as Peggy’s reluctant sidekick. A strong start.
Continuing on from our previous recap and review of the 1st half Agent Carter: Now is Not the End (click the link to see that review and get the detailed synopsis…
My top 10 X-Men story arcs, from Inferno and the Mutant Massacre to Age of Apocalypse and the Brood, with what’s good and bad in each X-Men story.
Ye Who Enter Here sends Skye after Raina and the rest of the team down into the hidden city. Another really good Agents of SHIELD episode.
The Things We Bury digs into Whitehall’s 1945 past and sends Ward home to his brother. Hard going at first, but worth watching twice.
A Hen in the Wolf House puts Simmons in a HYDRA mole hunt and brings Mockingbird into Agents of SHIELD. It felt like a return to premiere form.
Face My Enemy sends Coulson and May to a gala for a painting, and the May on May fight is the best part of a spy episode that overplays its tricks.
Making Friends and Influencing People puts Simmons undercover in HYDRA, and the heavy foreshadowing makes it a weaker but still above-average S2 episode.
My Guardians of the Galaxy review: a funny, scrappy space ride with a great soundtrack, a brilliant Rocket and Groot, and a forgettable villain.
My X-Men: Days of Future Past review: two casts, a wrecked young Charles, the Quicksilver scene and an ending I’m still in two minds about.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 crams in three villains and one devastating ending. Garfield and Stone are great. The film around them is doing too much.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier turns Marvel into a seventies conspiracy thriller, and I think it’s one of the better MCU films so far.
The Amazing Spider-Man reboots Peter Parker five years after Raimi. Andrew Garfield’s take, mechanical web-shooters, and a Lizard that never quite lands.
My Avengers 2012 review: Joss Whedon turned five films of setup into a team-up that works, funny and legible where it counts.
Spider-Man 3 finally puts the black suit on screen and then wastes it, with a thin Venom, a buried Sandman and a jazz club scene I can’t defend.
Spider-Man 2 review. Molina turns Doc Ock into a man overruled by his own machine, the train scene is iconic, and Peter walks away from the job.
Spider-Man review. Raimi puts the wrestling ring and Uncle Ben on screen exactly as the comics did, and Dafoe is magnificent. The leads are too old.
