It's been awhile since Marvel characters have graced TV screens in a live action tv series - there have been blockbuster films & plenty of cartoons, but now "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." will give Marvel fans a live action glimpse at the men and women that work as secret agents protecting and also managing the plethora of super heroes on Earth. Leading this green-lighted ABC series is a familiar face from "Iron Man" films and "The Avengers": Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg). This is welcome news for fans as the character has [...]

Yes, that's a somewhat dejected looking Tony Stark.  Why the long face when his new movie has a shot at earning one billion dollars at the worldwide box office?  Well, there IS something Tony can be sad about - with The Avengers 2, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and likely a few more Marvel [...] The post Film Review: Iron Man 3 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

"Who am I?" That's the question almost every major character asks in the new "Iron Man" film, "Iron Man 3." Who is Tony Stark? Who is Iron Man? When you've already seen the character of Iron Man star in two other films and play a major role in "The Avengers," it almost seems like a silly question to ask. At this point in the game, everyone in the world knows who Iron Man is. Tony Stark was already a major celebrity simply for being rich, but now he's known as a hero - someone who almost gave his life to [...]

Sometimes, a generation lucks out and the blockbuster film franchise that dominates its time is the original Star Wars trilogy: ground-breaking, pulpy, fun, and all-encompassing. Sometimes, a generation reveals it has made some sort of pact with the devil that's ... Continue reading �

In an interview with Steve Olson at the Los Angeles Times, 80s action icon Dolph Lundgren offered more than a plug for his upcoming DVD . The 55-year old and LA Times reporter got to chatting about the subject they both love the most, and, as the conversation turned to bloodshed on film, Ivan Drago gave a legit jab to comic book royalty. Not dissimilar to Harvey Keitel's invective on how sex and death in the movies should "come from a place of some meaningfulness," Lundgren believes the restrained, PG-13 violence in Joss [...]

2012 was a good year for film.  I ended up seeing 126 releases, and I have to admit that the majority of them were far from terrible.  This, of course, made crafting a Top 10 fairly difficult, but I gave it my best shot.  Just a heads up, below the main section of this article you'll find some mini-lists.  Read on! 10) The Avengers I feel like some people are afraid to put this movie on their year-end list.  It's like the 1.5 billion dollars it made worldwide [...]

After surveying over 2,600 people, the Los Angeles Times has named Marvel's "The Avengers" as the most overrated movie of 2012. The collective superhero flick garnered 85% of the votes, a landslide margin. Ridley' Scott's sci-fi actioner “Prometheus” was the runner-up film with just under 5%. After being one of the most highly anticipated blockbusters of the year, The Avengers, directed by Josh Whedon, hit theaters on April 11th and eventually reeled in $1.51 billion worldwide, making it the third-highest grossing film of all-time. Maybe it didn't help that The Avengers had to stand up [...]

At the outset of the final battle in 'The Avengers', there's this long single tracking shot of our heroes all kicking ass and taking names. It's an impressive piece of filmmaking, all the more impressive to understand what it took to put it together. According to ILM, "rather than frames, this single shot is measured in minutes on screen and is one of the longest effects shots in the film. It incorporates both practical special effects and extensive digital visual effects by ILM. The New York City environment that serves as the setting for this shot (and [...]

Well, this is exceptionally good news : "At today’s Marvel Television Presents panel at New York Comic Con, Head of TV Jeph Loeb announced that Clark Gregg will reprise his role as Agent Phil Coulson in the live-action pilot 'Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D.'! Gregg previously played Coulson in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor and Marvel's The Avengers, as well as Marvel One-Shots 'The Consultant' and 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer.'" The only hitch is that Marvel explicitly says Agent Coulson will return for the pilot and not the show. Also, if he's in [...]

Might have to watch this a few times before declaring Avenger Pugs mightier than the actual Avengers, but let's just say it's a pretty close race at the moment. [via uproxx ]

DC and Marvel have a long history of not only being the two biggest comic publishers but also being the two biggest competitors in comic history. Some will go so far as even saying their fans are even so polarized. There's the DC Fanatics and the Marvel Zombies that will stand by their chosen universe no matter what. But let's also add in there that DC is owned by Warner Brothers and in recent history Marvel was bought by Disney. Two other powerhouse companies that have a history of competing against each other. Warner [...]
