Your mileage may vary, butShane Black’s 2013 filmIron Man 3is arguably Marvel’s most original, genre-busting entry yet … but it could have been even more so. On the heroic side of things, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) had his traditional role handled, but he partnered up with a kick-ass Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) who had some strong heroic moments of her own. On the villainous side, there was a fantastic reveal (probably the best in Marvel movie history) regardingBen Kingsley’s Mandarin role, but there was also the troublesome and problematic Aldrich Killian, as played byGuy Pearce....

Feste wastes an intriguing setup – a woman tries to get home alive after her blind date turns violent – on aterriblechase movie, replete with questionable performances, a stale synth score, and a cheesy ending boasting cheap visual effects....

Editor’s Note: This article contains spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine. Since hitting theaters last week,Deadpool & Wolverinehas been hailed as a tribute to a bygone era of Marvel films thanks toits absurd list of cameos.Shawn Levy,Ryan Reynolds,Hugh Jackman, and the rest of the team managed to land no shortage of characters from Fox’s comic book movies, though one notorious flop was notably absent —2015’sFantastic Four. While the superpowered family featured inTim Story’s 2005 title got some love in the multiversal feature, the same cannot be said for the much-maligned 20th Century Studios reboot, though it wasn’t for a complete lack of trying....

Spider-Man: Homecomingis a miracle of a movie. It really shouldn’t exist. With every studio under the sun vying for its own superhero franchise, Sony Pictures has merely one property under its ownership, and that’s Spider-Man. But after a franchise reboot in twoThe Amazing Spider-Manfilms that failed to reach the critical and commercial heights that Sony was expecting, studio head and producerAmy Pascalwas finally able to close a deal that until then was a pipe dream—sharingthe Spider-Man character with a rival studio....

While a show likeThis Is Usemotionally manipulates our feelings,The A Wordlets its family drama work on us as a slow burn, leaving us with a complex and difficult conclusion to its second season. The cracks that we’ve seen in the Hughes family all season had to be dealt with, as well as the reality that the pull away from their homes in the Lake District can be a powerful one....

In crafting ourBest of the Decade contenthere on Collider, we ran through the usual suspects—the best movies, the best TV shows, thebest action scenes. The industry changed radically over the last 10 years as superhero movies took over the box office, the idea of a “movie star” began to fade, and the advent of streaming opened up the floodgates for more television than you could possibly watch in several lifetimes....

William Shakespeare’s works have been adapted in some of the strangest ways, from modern retellings toThe Lion King’s take on the storyHamlet. Yet many of Shakespeare’s phrases have become so recognizable that even the most direct references seem natural. This is the case forHarry Potter’s nod toMacbeth. The tragedy involves royalty, ambition, and murder, and altogether seems very unlikeHarry Potter, but there is one commonality: witches. Though the depictions of witchcraft are drastically different,Harry Potterreferences the older work inHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkabanin the song sung by the Hogwarts choir....

(Note: Be aware this post hasspoilersfor the bookIT, which came out more than 30 years ago, but spoiler warning I guess?) “The Turtle can’t save us.” Stephen Kingis having a big year. I mean, he’s been having a big year for the last few decades, but 2017 in particular is rife with on-screen remakes of the horror author’s work. There are the TV adaptations ofThe MistandMr. Mercedes, and the upcoming filmThe Dark Tower, but easily the most hyped of all isAndy Muschietti’s film adaptation of King’s beloved novelIT....

Let me preface this diatribe by saying that I love binge-watching TV. Ever since I discovered cable TV marathons as a youngun, I’ve always had an easy time getting drawn into the idea of viewing as much of a show in one sitting as I could handle. One of my great joys in being a TV critic is that networks will send screeners in binge-able doses: the first four or six episodes, or even the entire season....
