The Review at the End of the Universe
The X-Men find themselves faced with a threat from within when one of their own gains unimaginable power that they are unable to control in Simon Kinberg’s X-Men: Dark Phoenix. It has been 19 years since the release of Bryan Singer’s X-Men; a film that would end up having a significant contribution to the superhero…
Bryan Singer gives us another dose of Mutant Mayhem with X-Men: Apocalypse; an entry that tries to be bigger than any X-Men film that we’ve had before. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as sequels are designed to raise the stakes in such a way that the challenge feels different to the one in the…
Mother’s Mercy Season 5 of Game of Thrones is now over, and as ever, it has ended in spectacular fashion. An extremely powerful and sad episode with excellent pacing. The unthinkable has happened and Jon Snow is dead. Betrayed by his own and left to die in the snow. Sam got his wish and was…
The Dance of Dragons This episode of Game of Thrones was intense, thrilling and included one of the most tragic deaths in the show’s run. The execution of Shireen proves that Stannis has such a hunger for the throne and he is even willing to sacrifice his own daughter to get it. I was expecting…
“Hardhome” A very compact episode of Game of Thrones this week and after a lot of build-up, this was probably the best of the series so far. The major action being the epic 15 minute battle between The White walkers versus The Wildlings and a small group of Crows. We can only imagine that now…
“The Gift” In Episode 7 of this season of Game of Thrones we find Sansa’s situation with the malevolent Ramsay much the same as last week. Reek now being her only chance of escape he turns her in to Ramsay instead. We can only wonder if Theon Greyjoy is still in there somewhere. At Castle…
“Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken” Game of Thrones certainly has us used to watching the odd horrific scene ever few weeks, and as expected, Ramsay and Sansa’s wedding night was right up there. After her escape from Joffrey this seems like an out of the frying pan and into the fire situation for Sansa. This was a…
“Kill The Boy” Season 5 of Game of Thrones reaches its halfway stage and while the pacing has slowed slightly from recent weeks, which is only slightly bad as the stories are taking quite a while to develop. The episode has a few great scenes. Deanerys acts more like a Khallisi than a Queen by…
“Sons of The Harpy” Season 4 of Game of Thrones is heating up as Bronn and Jamie encounter a spot of bother on their way to Dorne, while Ellaria takes it upon herself to try and incite a war with the Lannisters. Cerci has her own problems with her dwindling influence in Kings Landing. She…
“High Sparrow” The first two episodes of the new season of Game of Thrones were somewhat of a slow burner to say the least. Things are starting to pick up gradually with Jon Snow asserting himself as the new Lord Commander by lobbing off the head of Janos Slynt. Arya is now finally beginning her…
