A fresh Avengers Infinity War review: Marvel spent a decade earning your trust, then let the villain win. The boldest ending the studio has ever filmed.
Having lived in Africa for quite a few years, I was a bit torn with this film. Overall it was an enjoyable experience, but it wasn’t perfect in my opinion…

Spider-Man 3 review. The black suit was the one thing I wanted and the film wastes it. Venom is weak and the jazz club sequence is indefensible.
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.
