The Nines (2007)

Deadpool 2 (2018)

Deadpool 2 (2018)

[7] SPOILERS. I think. If you care, don't read! I'm so glad we have a superhero who flirts with both men and women. In Deadpool 2, Ryan Reynold's wisecracking vigilante is seen grabbing the iron ass of Colossus, going tip to…
The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017)

The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017)

[5] Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson star in this tepid action/comedy that feels too inspired by buddy flicks like Lethal Weapon and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang for its own good. Reynolds plays a down-and-out bodyguard hired to protect an…
Buried (2010)

Buried (2010)

Deadpool (2016)

[7] Ryan Reynolds was born to play a wise-cracking vigilante, and indeed Deadpool comes off a bit like a higher-stakes Van Wilder. The story centers around the origin of the character, how he discovers he has terminal cancer and takes…
Green Lantern (2011)

Green Lantern (2011)

[4] Green Lantern is probably the single-most generic superhero movie I've ever seen. It's not terrible so much as it is wholly unremarkable. It's mired in a scatter-shot script that dwells on plot points and secondary characters I couldn't give…
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

[4] Wolverine is one of my least favorite X-Men characters, so maybe this movie just isn't for me. That said, Hugh Jackman and most of the cast do pretty good jobs with what little they have to work with. The…
