Better than the second one. And there are fewer awkward, non-funny moments than the first one. Although I would say the first one is still the champ for the series. Has the funniest death scene since Paul Ruebens bit the big one on the original Buddy The Vampire Slayer movie. Plenty of weird Space/Cosmic Marvel.…

I know there are many of you out there in movie fan land who wish for superhero movies to burn. As phase five of the MCU begins and James Gunn and his team get to work on a new DC strategy some of you are dreaming a different dream. You want their capes to be…
