There was once a time in Hollywood when an actor hanging off a town clock by ropes was considered an epic stunt.

Many people have been critical of Disney’s decision to turn some of their classic animated films into live-action movies but to be honest I have never seen the issue with it.

The dangers of making a movie based on a video game is that a filmmaker can either make the movie so unlike the game it is hated by gamers or relying on so much game-lore that it becomes a confusing mess for anyone who has never played the game.

Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is coming to a close – and some may argue that is a good thing. To be honest both Phase Four and Phase Five have been pretty confusing – there have been characters with origin stories that we have never heard from since and plots from the past that seem to have been completely forgotten.
