Marvel at the Movies: The Punishers

Paul Brian McCoy
November 18, 2017
Marvel at the Movies, Reviews
Before we see how Bernthal's take on the character plays out, we thought we'd take a look at the long and varied history of The Punisher in the comics and on film.

Marvel at the Movies: Daredevils and Elektra

Paul Brian McCoy
March 19, 2016
Marvel at the Movies, Movies, Reviews
We thought we'd take a look at the short and troubled history of Daredevil and Elektra on film.

Marvel at the Movies: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Paul Brian McCoy
May 1, 2015
Marvel at the Movies
Because that's what Avengers: Age of Ultron is: an emotional machine - much like the titular Ultron.

There’s a War Going on Out There: Blade (1998)

Paul Brian McCoy
August 8, 2014
Marvel at the Movies
Snipes was arguably the most well-received actor cast for a role in a Marvel project since Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno played David Banner and the Hulk on TV.

Marvel Phase Two: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Paul Brian McCoy
August 2, 2014
Marvel at the Movies
An assassin, a thief, a maniac, a tree man, and a talking raccoon.

Marvel Phase Two: Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

Paul Brian McCoy
August 1, 2014
Marvel at the Movies
It was beginning to look like Marvel was willing to include just about any character in their canon if they could squeeze them in.

Marvel Phase Two: Thor: The Dark World (2013)

Paul Brian McCoy
July 31, 2014
Marvel at the Movies
Because as pretty much everyone knows, more Loki is always good.

Marvel Phase Two: Iron Man 3 (2013)

Paul Brian McCoy
July 30, 2014
Marvel at the Movies
A large part of the popularity of the film was down to an almost perfect combination of Black and Pearce's script and Downy Jr.'s charisma.

Blowin’ Smoke up Your Hoo-Ha: Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (1998)

Paul Brian McCoy
July 8, 2014
Marvel at the Movies, Reviews, TV
And then there's David Hasselhoff.

Assembling the Avengers: The Avengers (2012)

Paul Brian McCoy
May 5, 2012
Marvel at the Movies, Movies, Reviews
This isn't just a team-up; it serves to move everyone forward to a new dramatic place from which to launch the next round of Marvel Studios films, as well as providing a launching point for the starts of new franchises.

Assembling the Avengers: Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

Paul Brian McCoy
May 3, 2012
Marvel at the Movies, Movies, Reviews
Jon Favreau approached Avi Arad with the intention of making it a comedy, but luckily opted to make Iron Man instead. Then, Incredible Hulk director, Louis Leterrier, was shown concept art and offered his services, but Marvel turned him down.

Assembling the Avengers: Thor (2011)

Paul Brian McCoy
May 2, 2012
Marvel at the Movies, Movies, Reviews
That score was markedly lower amongst White Supremacists, who objected to Idris Elba's casting as a black Norse god and attempted to organize a boycott of the film.It had no effect.

Assembling the Avengers: Iron Man 2 (2010)

Paul Brian McCoy
May 1, 2012
Marvel at the Movies, Movies, Reviews
Not only is this film set six months after the first film, through later interactions with Fury, we discover that it is occurring at the same time as The Incredible Hulk and that Stark's father was a founding member of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Assembling the Avengers: The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Paul Brian McCoy
April 30, 2012
Marvel at the Movies, Movies, Reviews
The story, unfortunately, doesn't really break any new ground, despite being action-packed and more viscerally entertaining than Ang Lee's version.

Assembling the Avengers: Iron Man (2008)

Paul Brian McCoy
April 29, 2012
Marvel at the Movies, Movies, Reviews
The first step on the road to The Avengers was taken in 2006, as actor/director Jon Favreau was hired to direct Marvel's first independent production, Iron Man.

Smothering Our Babies: Generation X (1996)

Paul Brian McCoy
April 21, 2011
Marvel at the Movies, Movies, Reviews, TV
Given a commitment to a season's worth of hour-long episodes, Generation X could have really come into its own.

Shelved: Fantastic Four (1994)

Paul Brian McCoy
February 10, 2011
Marvel at the Movies, Movies, Reviews
The early Nineties were a difficult time for superhero films, particularly for Marvel.

We Are Both Tragedies: Captain America (1990)

Paul Brian McCoy
January 20, 2011
Marvel at the Movies, Movies, Reviews
Captain America was the first of Marvel's characters to get a second chance with what is, essentially, a hard reboot that completely ignores both of the television movies that came before.

I’m Free Now – The Incredible Hulk (1988-1990)

Paul Brian McCoy
September 2, 2010
Marvel at the Movies, Movies, Reviews, TV
It’s a surprisingly powerful scene that, even given the title of the film, comes as a bit of a shock.
