Considering the fact that he’s one of the most famous fictional characters of all time, and undoubtedly the most famous superhero ever, there’s never been a truly great Superman movie. Superman: The Movie, the Richard Donner cut of Superman II and Superman Returns have their moments, but there’s never been one single movie that Superman [...]
So, we’ve had the top ten sci fi villains, so let’s have a quick look at the top ten heroes from science fiction. I’m complining this list based on the following factors: 1. Universe saving – how many times has this hero saved the universe or their home planet or whatever? 2 Impact on the [...]

Firstly, an apology in advance: I didn’t intend for Captain America to dominate the top 5 like he has, but there was [...]
I heard some wierd news not long ago. Apparently, the word on the street is that the plug has been pulled on Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies and the next cinematic adventure of everyone’s favorite webslinger will be a Batman Begins style franchise reset. Seems a bit pointless. Especially since two of the three Spidey movies [...]
