What A Marvel! Captain America: The First Avenger [2011] by Bea Harper
Considering the somewhat sordid history that Cap has had cinematically, Joe Johnston made it his mission to give Old Stars And Spangles the cinematic outing he deserves and he does so with gusto. Another thing I appreciated about the film in general was how unafraid of being meta; Cap is a character in comic books … Continue reading
What A Marvel! Thor [2011] by Bea Harper
“I AM THOR! SON OF—” *gets tazed* Superhero screwball. It’s not a genre that gets some big-league treatment, but leave it to Kenneth Branagh Son of Theatre to bring Marvels’ rendition of the Asgardian God of Thunder to the big screen with the energy and positivity it requires. Although the Destroyer armour and the Jane/Thor … Continue reading

What A Marvel! Iron Man [2008] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Jon Faverau Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Gwenyth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terrence Howard The film that shot the Marvel Avengers pantheon into the Big Leagues.

What A Marvel! Ang Lee’s Hulk [2003] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Ang Lee Starring: Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliot and Nick Nolte I found this one to be a worthy addition to the wide and varied lore of Bruce/Hulk. It’s not what people were expecting, but it serves as a fine allegory for the power of human negativity and the redemption of a willing … Continue reading
