Directed by Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck For some reason the appeal behind superhero origin stories finally clicked while watching this movie.

Now, this may seem either obvious, given the scope and fan loyalty of the franchise, or ridiculous considering there are still new Star Wars movies released every year. Still, it seems clear that this … Continue reading Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
