REVIEW: Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
AlexGherzo | Dec 17, 2021 | 2
Spider-Man: No Way Home had me worried from the start. I’d enjoyed Spidey’s previous MCU films very much, and while I haven’t cared for some of the changes made to his lore, I had faith that it was leading somewhere and decided to go with it. Then, they announced that the third movie would inv...

AlexGherzo | Dec 16, 2021 | 0
“Ronin,” the penultimate episode of Hawkeye, is maybe the worst yet. It’s little more than connective tissue, a series of dull scenes that move characters into place for the finale, but not in exciting or fun ways. There are plot developments that further diminish what should have been the ser...

AlexGherzo | Dec 8, 2021 | 0
“Armageddon Part 4” is a mostly great episode that kicks itself in the shins a few times too many. The continuing Armageddon storyline takes a surprising twist, and the wacky shifting alliances of an alternate future make for some entertaining scenes between former nemeses, but it focuses too mu...

AlexGherzo | Dec 2, 2021 | 0
“Echoes” is the most frustrating kind of episode. On the one hand, it’s easily the best Hawkeye’s been yet and has some excellent character work and a fun action sequence. However, it’s also got the show’s shortcomings in full effect, and the contrast teases what Hawkeye could have and s...
