Five Years. Is that all we've got? Superhero movie reviews 2015-2020


Does it feel like Marvel and DC own your lives until 2020?

Does it feel like you are a non person unless you are kept in a fever pitch of adolescent excitement by relentless marketing campaigns? 

Does it feel like the death of cinema?

Here's my predictions for the next five years....


2015:

May 1: Avengers: Age of Ultron

                                              
....it's alright....

July 17: Ant-Man

                              
 ....alright....but not as good as Avengers: Age of Ultron

August 7: Fantastic Four

                                  ....a missed opportunity (again!)....

2016:

February 12: Deadpool
                         
                                ....a man with a gun...who really gives a shit?....

 ...Did anyone really expect this to be good?

                               ...The Empire Strikes Back of Marvel films.....

May 27: X-Men: Apocalypse

                         ....the exact point where superhero fatigue sets in...

August 5: Suicide Squad

                                          
....slit your wrists time....

..trippy hippy nonsense....but worth seeing just for Cumberbatch exclaiming: "By the hoary hosts of Hogarth!"
