Guardians of the Galaxy

Review: Suicide Squad

August 21, 2016 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

Suicide Squad felt like a long introduction, followed by a self-generated plot, all to lead up to the next Batman film. I think the writers and producers should have taken notice of the marketing and lead ins for Marvel's Deadpool and ripped them off so as to knowingly set Squad up as a tale of multiple twisted love … Continue reading Review: Suicide Squad

Dead right & so wrong

August 18, 2014 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

If you like Marvel films you'll like Guardians of the Galaxy. You may like it even more if you don't like everything Marvel has done. I liked it. It was smart and sweet and nostalgic, with some great performances from the cast, plus with added bonus surprise cameos and shout outs for long-term comic readers. … Continue reading Fellowship of the Orb: Review of Guardians of the Galaxy
