Geekscape Movie Review: Avengers: Endgame

by MCDaveApril 29, 2019

After more than a decade in the making, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) unearthed its epic finale with its 22^nd feature film, Avengers: Endgame. It wasn’t always the smoothest of rides. You won’t have to look any further than Thor: The Dark World and Avengers: Age of Ultron to know that each individual installment was far from perfect. Yet, every separate chapter serves a unique purpose, highlighting the notion that the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. And with Endgame, specifically, the concluding film reinforces the phenomenal fact that, like a clutch athlete who performs best when the game is on the line, the MCU continues to shine brightest on the biggest stages.

Following Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) cataclysmic finger snap that annihilated half of all living creatures in the galaxy, the remaining Avengers are forced to deal with their failures. Yet, when Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) luckily returns from the quantum realm only to discover what had happened, he finds his superhero allies and they discover a time-traveling plan that could potentially reverse all of the destruction caused by Thanos. Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and the rest of the Avengers embark on a mission to undo the past without compromising the future.

For all its glory, Endgame stands as a monumental chapter in the MCU that opens certain doors and closes others. The film’s bulky three-hour running time proves effortless as the humor is as strong as it’s ever been and the story makes for a thrilling and engaging experience. And while I definitely applaud Endgame’s script for how it thrusts Thanos back into the heart of the story as well as other key characters that you might not expect, the film’s time travel elements are also some of its weakest. Any time you revolve a story around such a fragile and flimsy scientific idea, it becomes easy to poke holes in the many faults that surround it. However, these issues are rather minor and simple to ignore thanks to an otherwise brilliant showcase from the directing duo of Joe and Anthony Russo. Each central character that helped build the MCU becomes handled with immense care and respect, all while the story takes the audience through a trip down memory lane that’s both enjoyable to witness again and necessary to fulfill the film’s emotional climax. I was also pleased that Captain Marvel’s inevitable inclusion was not as some unstoppable saving grace to the Avengers, and rather a complementary figure to the heroes that we’ve spent a decade relying on. And although Endgame will understandably be viewed as a finale of sorts, it’s actually a bridge from the humble beginnings of the MCU to the limitless behemoth that it has evolved into. Fan theories have already begun circulating in hopes to dissect where exactly cinema’s greatest film universe will go. Yet, Endgame forces me to take a step back and appreciate everything we’ve been give. The MCU has created an expansive world unlike anything we’ve ever witnessed, and I’m convinced now more than ever that Marvel’s future is very, very bright.

Geekscape Movie Reviews: Thor: Ragnarok

by MCDaveNovember 30, 2017

Personally, I needed Marvel’s latest inclusion, Thor: Ragnarok, to redeem its title character’s overlying franchise. After 2012’s The Dark World dragged the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to an all-time-low, the God of Thunder quickly transformed into one of the MCU’s most uninspiring characters. And while critics and audiences alike have heaped praise onto new director Taika Waititi’s first go-around with Thor, let’s be clear that Ragnarok isn’t nearly as impressive as you’ve been made to believe.

When Thor (Chris Hemsworth) returns to Asgard, he finds Loki (Tom Hiddleston) posing as Odin and learns of his father’s self-imposed exile. As Thor and Loki venture to find and confront their father, Odin’s first-born and demonically powerful daughter Hela (Cate Blanchett) returns to claim the throne of a vulnerable Asgard. Meanwhile, Thor and Loki find themselves trapped on a planet of outsiders where they form a special team that returns to Asgard and battles Hela in order to save their home.

To varying degrees of success, Ragnarok‘s campy delivery pokes fun at the formulaic approach used widely within the MCU. This hyper-exaggeration leads to a whole new level of comedic absurdity that, fairly stated, comes with a nearly equal share of hysterical hits and hokey misses. Thankfully, though, Ragnarok also incorporates a more stylish vibe, courtesy of new helmer Taika Waititi, and this refreshing overhaul to one of Marvel’s least interesting Avengers brings edginess and excitement to a spin-off desperately in need of a boost. Chris Hemsworth benefits from this complete redirection of his character and he’s joined by the towering talents of Cate Blanchett who illuminates a strong villainous foe to the story. And while Ragnarok’s reemergence of Mark Ruffalo’s the Hulk is both bold and spirited, in a gladiator-esque battle scene that’s worth the price of admission all on its own, the introduction of Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie character proves a far-less compelling addition. Consequently, Ragnarok comes with its ups and downs, but the film also places Thor back on track and propels him into the spotlight as the MCU gears up towards its highly anticipated Infinity War.

The Amazon Exclusive ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Two’ Set Is A Must Buy!

by Gabriel von GrünbaumNovember 25, 2015

Whoa. On Tuesday, December 8th Marvel teams up with Amazon on an exclusive offering to knock your Captain America socks clean off! The Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Two collection drops only on Amazon with all new bonus content, film replicas and more. In addition, each film features custom disc sleeves from artist Matt Ferguson.

Geekscape got a sneak peek at these alternate covers to share with you—and they’re freaking awesome. Go ahead feast your eyes and start squirreling away your pennies!

Iron Man 3, alt-cover by Matt Ferguson

Thor: The Dark World, alt-cover by Matt Ferguson

Captain America: The Winter Soldier, alt-cover by Matt Ferguson

Guardians of the Galaxy, alt-cover by Matt Ferguson

Avengers: Age of Ultron, alt-cover by Matt Ferguson

Ant-Man, alt-cover by Matt Ferguson

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Two — Bonus Material, alt-cover by Matt Ferguson

This collection is not messing around—it doesn’t seem like this is going to be the “pretty good one,” only to be replaced next year by the “super awesome edition.” This collection already has all the goods I look for in my film collecting proclivities—and then a little more! I ended up buying a 3D TV several Black Fridays ago when it was the same price as the standard model and I’ve been enjoying it ever since. As a result, if a movie I want comes out on Blu-ray and there’s a 3D version—that’s the one I buy. That and so much more is already baked into this collection! In their own words:

I mean, come on!—there’s a freakin’ ancient drawing from the Morag vault! What more can you possibly ask for?!

Personally, there were some moments I didn’t fully connect with in this film collection—but honestly, I take the blame on those for the time being. Maybe I was in the wrong mood when I saw them or something—planning to give Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World and Avengers: Age of Ultron further viewings before making my final call on them. (Especially after getting a better understanding of what went into this intricate web Marvel is weaving as best they can during this release event.) However, here’s the thing—even if every film isn’t up to the snuff of say, Guardians of the Galaxy, they’re still better than most other offerings in their genre; meaning—you can’t lose, even if you lose, with these films. You will be properly entertained come hell or high water!

This unveiling comes properly on the heels of the release of the premiere trailer for the first film in Phase Three, Captain America: Civil War, this week. Whoowhee!—that trailer’s some dramatic adrenaline right there.

And now, my lovelies, because these are just the sort of details I hunt down when considering investing in a collection to add to my. . . collection, here are all the technical details they’ve provided us at this time:

Jamie Alexander’s Sif To Guest On ‘Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’!

by Derek KraneveldtJanuary 20, 2014

Briefly: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has found yet another guest star.

Sif, who fought alongside Thor in last year’s Thor: The Dark World, will guest star on “an upcoming episode” of the series. No timeframe or plot details have been revealed at this time.

I stopped watching Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. a few episodes in. Those of you that are still watching, is there any reason to come back? Has the show picked up at all? I wanted to love it, but just couldn’t, so please let me know!

by Derek KraneveldtOctober 17, 2013

Briefly: Another day, another new clip from Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World.

Unlike yesterday’s clip, which showed off Thor in battle and the awesome power of Mjolnir, today’s clip shows off the heartfelt reunion between Thor and Jane Foster.

Take a look at the clip below, and let us know if you’re looking to the film. Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th!

New ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Clip Shows Off The Power Of Mjolnir

by Derek KraneveldtOctober 16, 2013

Briefly: Yesterday, we saw Malekith wake up. Today, it’s time to check out Thor in battle.

Marvel has released another clip from next month’s anticipated Thor: The Dark World. This time, Thor teleports into battle using his trusty Mjolnir, and proceeds to take down all of the bad guys without even trying. Of course, the encounter’s former leader offers the tried and true ‘I had everything under control’ line.

In any case, it’s cool to get a look at the action in the film. Thor: The Dark World is looking great so far, and I can’t wait to see more! Take a look at the clip below, and let us know what you think! The film hits theatres on November 8th!

New ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Clip Debuts Online!

by Derek KraneveldtOctober 15, 2013

Briefly: Marvel today debuted a second clip for the highly anticipated Thor sequel, Thor: The Dark World.

While the film’s first clip was a dialogue-filled exchange between Thor and his adoptive brother, this new clip takes a much more silent approach. It features the The Dark World‘s villain, Malekith, waking up inside The Ark, and actually only contains one spoken line.

This movie is going to rock, right?

Loki Takes The Spotlight In New ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Featurette

by Derek KraneveldtOctober 10, 2013

Briefly: Following the film’s first clip from earlier this week, Marvel has debuted another new featurette for November’s Thor: The Dark World.

The video spotlights just what Loki’s been up to since The Avengers (being stuck in an Asgardian cell, mostly), and the interesting dynamic of Thor needing his evil adopted brother’s help.

I can’t wait to finally see the film. The serious tone that Thor: The Dark World looks to take is one that I think Iron Man 3 desperately needed. In any case, take a look at the featurette below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the film! Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th!

First ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Clip Debuts Online!

by Derek KraneveldtOctober 4, 2013

Briefly: Following yesterday’s cool new featurette, Marvel has officially debuted the first clip from next month’s anticipated Thor: The Dark World.

The clip is an expansion of the Thor / Loki conversation that we’ve seen in almost every trailer, but it’s very cool to see the entire exchange. Remember that Loki nearly destroyed New York (or the planet), so as Loki states, Thor must be truly desperate asking him for help.

Take a look at the clip below, and let us know what you think! Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th!

Watch A New Featurette For ‘Thor: The Dark World’

by Derek KraneveldtOctober 3, 2013

Briefly: Following the new TV spots from earlier this week, Marvel has debuted a new featurette for the highly anticipated Thor: The Dark World.

The featurette takes us to some of the locations used during filming, and shows us that this is definitely Thor on a much larger scale. It’s an awesome look into Marvel’s next phase two film, which seems to be looking better and better with each piece of new marketing.

Take a look at the video below, and let us know what you think! Thor: The Dark World opens on November 8th!

Two New ‘Thor: The Dark World’ TV Spots Debut Online!

by Derek KraneveldtSeptember 30, 2013

Briefly: Marvel today debuted two new TV spots for their highly anticipated Thor: The Dark World.

The spots don’t seem to feature any new footage, but do recut what we’ve already seen into an epic new order. Seriously, the new Thor looks awesome, and as I’ve said before, it looks like everything that Iron Man 3 should have been.

Take a look at the new spots below, and let us know what you think! Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th.

Two New ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Character Posters Released!

by Derek KraneveldtSeptember 12, 2013

Briefly: Doesn’t Thor: The Dark World look awesome? Honestly, I can’t wait for the thing, especially after the massive (understatement) disappointment that was Iron Man 3. Seriously, a silly buddy cop film has no place in a post-Avengers world.

Thor: The Dark World looks exactly like what Iron Man 3 should have been. It’s serious, people are scared, their planet was nearly destroyed, and everyone now knows that aliens exist. I’m hopeful that this could be the Phase Two film that we all were hoping for the first time around.

Marvel today debuted two new character posters for the film. The first spotlights a powerful looking Odin, while the second focusses in on Loki, while his shattered prison is displayed in the background.

Take a look at the posters below, and let us know what you think! Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th!

‘Thor: The Dark World’ Gets Two New Posters!

by Derek KraneveldtAugust 26, 2013

Briefly: Following the new stills from just a few days back, Marvel today debuted two new character posters for November’s Thor: The Dark World.

One image features Thor doing what he does best (looking sexy with Mjölnir… duh), while the other showcases a very sly looking Loki (what is he up to).

As I’ve said before, I’m beyond excited for Thor: The Dark World. The film looks to drop the overused humour from the first Thor, and instead appears to take on a much more serious tone. A tone that’s very fitting for a post-Avengers world, and a tone that the overly-silly Iron Man 3 should have had. Take a look at the new posters below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the film. Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th!

‘Thor: The Dark World’ Gets 16 New Stills!

by Derek KraneveldtAugust 23, 2013

Briefly: With just a few days to go until the next issue of Empire hits newsstands, 16 new stills from the Thor: The Dark World have debuted on the magazine’s official website.

Thor: The Dark World producer Craig Kyle explains the film further, stating “When the Bifrost was broken at the end of the first film, Odin had to conjure a lot of dark energy and go through a lot of personal sacrifice to try and get his son back to Earth. And it was a one-shot deal. If Thor didn’t succeed, without the Tesseract he couldn’t have got back again. And in our film, finally the Bifrost has been rebuilt, but during that time, when the cops were largely cut off from the rest of the universe, you had miscreants that came in from outside the Nine Realms, pillaging and destroying and causing havoc. So that’s what our guys have been doing now – trying to put all these fires out across the Nine Realms.”

As I’ve said before, I’m beyond excited for Thor: The Dark World. The film looks to drop the overused humour from the first Thor, and instead appears to take on a much more serious tone. A tone that’s very fitting for a post-Avengers world, and a tone that the overly-silly Iron Man 3 should have had. Take a look at the new stills below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the film. Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th!

‘Thor: The Dark World’ Gets A Fantastic New Trailer!

by Derek KraneveldtAugust 7, 2013

Briefly: Marvel Studios today debuted a new trailer for this Winter’s phase two film, Thor: The Dark World.

The preview is chock-full of new footage, including plenty of new Loki action. We also get a much better look at the film’s plot from this trailer, which is definitely one of the better Marvel film previews that I’ve ever seen.

Thor: The Dark World looks to drop the silly, overused humour from the first Thor film, and should be a much more serious feature than phase two opener Iron Man 3. This is exactly how the world should be acting after an alien attack, and I couldn’t be more excited to see where the movie goes.

Take a look at the new trailer below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to it! Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th!

‘Thor: The Dark World’ Gets A New Poster!

by Derek KraneveldtAugust 1, 2013

Briefly: Marvel Studios today released a new poster for Thor: The Dark World.

The image is fairly standard poster fare, spotlighting Chris Hemsworth clutching his beloved Natalie Portman, while secondary characters look somber in the background (aside from Loki, who looks like he’s having a blast). It reveals little of what we’ll see in the feature, but it certainly does its job in looking bad-ass.

Take a look at the new poster below, and let us know what you think! Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th!

Check Out Five New Stills From ‘Thor: The Dark World’

by Derek KraneveldtMay 31, 2013

It’s been some time since we’ve seen any new marketing come from Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World. The studio today released five new still photos for the film, mixing production images with behind-the-scenes.

I was a big fan of 2011’s Thor, and with Iron Man 3 being the disappointment that it was, I hope that November’s launch of Thor: The Dark World can be the start to Phase Two that we were all hoping for. Check out the photos below, and let us know what you think! Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th.

First Official Image And New Plot Details From ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Revealed

by Shawn MaddenJanuary 28, 2013

In the latest issue of Empire Magazine now only do we get our first official look (even though sadly it’s a set image) from Thor: The Dark World, but we also get some new plot details from the upcoming sequel. The image features an armored up Chris Hemsworth as Thor and director Alan Taylor on set with some Asgardian warriors in the background.

While speaking with magazine executive producer Craig Kyle revealed that the events of the upcoming sequel will take place one year after The Avengers and two years after Thor. He also revealed that at the start of the film that we will see Asgard battered by war and The Nine Realms beset “by rag-tag invaders known as The Maraunders”.

Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.
