Iron Man Review: The New Superhero Benchmark

[ 09:49 ]
Matt is convinced this is the new yardstrick to which every comic movie must be measured, and Nat just can’t get enough of Robert Downey Jr.’s performance as Tony Stark. All in all, it seems like Jon Favreau’s Iron Man managed to serve many masters… but let’s break it all down. What did you think? Let us know at YourGeekNews.com if you think we’re full of it, or if you’re on board with our impressions of the first blockbuster of the Season! ~Matt + Nat

Iron Man Preview: The Perfect Cast
What do you get when you cross an all-star, Oscar nominated cast with a few tonnes of hulking metal? You get Jon Favreau's IRON MAN! With some serious pressure to be a blockbuster, Marvel has all the makings of a winner as their first at bat as a production company. Matt's more excited about this one than he has been about a movie in a while, and Nat can't wait to see her some Robert Downey Jr. So really, everyone's a winner on this one. ~Matt + Nat

IRONMAN 2 PREVIEW: Exclusive Clips and Interviews
John Favreau, Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow are back for the follow-up to 2008's Ironman, and joining them are Don Cheadle, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson to bring Tony Stark face-to-face with at least one more iron man of his own design: War Machine!~Matt + Nat

Punisher Review: War Zone Splits The Geeks!
It’s a completely two-sided review for Punisher: War Zone, with one of us madly in love with the dark live-action romp through the pages of Marvel Knights favourite hero, and the other simply unimpressed with comic violence pushed past the point of enjoyable. Where do your feelings fall on this third installment of the Punisher franchise? ~Matt + Nat

Wolverine Review: Multiple Endings = Multiple Viewings?
To say that Wolverine has multiple endings isn't exactly correct, but it does have multiple post-credit bonus scenes. Much like the post-credit Nick Fury scene in Iron Man, or the Tony Stark scene in Incredible Hulk, X-Men Origins: Wolverine gives you a reason to sit through the credits… and it’s hard to know which one you’ll be getting since Gavin Hood has put at least two different versions out in theatres, that we know of. We’ve seen two different endings, one that’s Deadpool-centric and one that’s Japan-based, but it won't take long to get to the bottom of how many there are, and to see them all! ~Matt + Nat

Watchmen Preview: Can It Live Up To The Source Material?
We’ve had our eye on this project for YEARS, literally, and we couldn’t have more anticipation and enthusiasm for this film if we tried. Mostly because we’ve been fans of the graphic novel for as long as we can remember, and the pressure couldn’t be higher for Snyder to deliver a truly great movie from the greatest graphic novel of all time. So watch our 10-minute preview of Watchmen, complete with cast and crew interviews and LOTS of scenes from the movie, and hit up YourGeekNews.com to let us know what you think. ~Matt +Nat

Speed Racer Review: Not As Bad As You May Think...
Matt and Nat weren't really expecting much from this, mostly because the ads were pretty lacklustre... if you even saw them. Between an ad campaign that seemed confused from day one and the fact that the source material is actually just too old to have been raised on ourselves, we didn't jump on this one right away, but it sure was a fun ride once we did. What did you think? Did you even bother? ~Matt + Nat PS. Matt REALLY hated the monkey and the kid. Just sayin'

Wanted Review: Get That Girl A Sandwich
Matt and Nat both got a kick out of Wanted, though it didn't quite live up to the expectations set by some of the rumours... or set by the first 10 minutes of the film. But it's a great ride that's definitely worth seeing -- if you've already seen Dark Knight that is. But if you hit the snack bar, make sure to bring back something for Angelina. She looks like she could use the meal. ~Matt + Nat

Max Payne Review: Pain Indeed.
Marky Mark is 0 for 2 with Max Payne added to the Crappening as another lacklustre film for the poor guy. At least we've got Quantum of Solace as a palate cleanser!
09:45
Watchmen Review: Oh-Oh Alan... It Was Good. Really...
More positive than we were expecting with an ending that just might take Alan Moore to school. And we're saying ALL that without seeing all the extra DVD-released scenes that have been shot with Hollis Mason, Sally Jupiter--oh yeah and the Black Freighter! So you can bet this will be the first of at least two reviews we'll be doing of Watchmen. Once that DVD comes out, we'll be getting an even more accurate, comprehensive and faithful adaptation. ~Matt+Nat

Hulk Preview: Now With Added Incredible!
So, Ed Norton, William Hurt, Liv Tyler and Tim Roth? That sounds like a pretty amazing cast… even if they did already have a cast for the Hulk from Ang Lee’s 2003 go-round. Matt liked the first one and Nat is game for some Ed Norton. What about you?! ~Matt + Nat
