A “QUICK!” Review of "Marvel Zombies (2025)"

Marvel Zombies is an ambitious attempt at bringing an R-rated edge to Marvel’s animated lineup.

One of the highlights is seeing characters who’ve never crossed paths in the movies or shows finally share the screen here. The return of heroes we haven’t seen in a while, like Shang-Chi, was a real treat. But the biggest standout is easily Blade, or rather “Blade Knight,” who steals the spotlight. If the series accomplished anything, it’s making me want a live-action Blade in the MCU as soon as possible, he’s that cool here.

That said, there are several questionable plot choices that hold the series back. The ending feels especially abrupt and jarring. The humour also misses the mark more often than not, coming across as forced and undermining the darker tone the show seems to be aiming for.

Overall, Marvel Zombies delivers on gore and spectacle, but it’s held back by uneven storytelling and tonal inconsistencies. It won’t leave a lasting impression, but for fans of Marvel and horror, it’s a decent enough watch.

A “QUICK!” Review of “Spy × Family Code: White (2024)“

This movie is two hours of Spy X Family goodness! Everything you love from the show is in here: the fun family slice-of-life dynamic, the ridiculously fun comedy with wacky goofiness from lovable daughter Anya, the suave spy action from Loid, and badass fight action set pieces from Yor. The animation is mostly similar to the show, but there are moments in the final act where the animation is glorious! However, the story isn’t really much to write home about and the villain is very "underbaked” (pun intended). Overall, this is a very fun movie set in the Spy X Family universe. If you love the show, you’ll love the movie.

A Review of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)”

Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the best and most surprising things to come out of the MCU. They were an unknown group with heroes that were even more unknown than Iron Man (at the time). However, thanks to director James Gunn, he made them one of the most popular Marvel characters and team. I loved the first one and it is still up there in one of my favourite Marvel films. The second one is a great movie but not as good as the first one. There is a joke that the 3rd movie is always the worst which did occur with Ant-Man recently. Does Guardians of the Galaxy fall into this or does it deliver an epic trilogy? One of the core themes in the Guardian of the Galaxy movies is family and loss. This is still prevalent here and still as powerful. We see the Guardians feel closer as a family than ever but also argue a lot like family too. In terms of character arcs, Peter is still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Yondu and even his mother which is making him go to the bo...

A “QUICK!” Review of “Until Dawn (2025)”

It’s disappointing that this film is “Until Dawn” in name only and doesn’t truly adapt the game. However, the time loop element is intriguing, and I did enjoy the group’s camaraderie. Unfortunately, the horror is generic and uninspired, and the visuals are equally dull, marked by flat cinematography. Overall, it’s a shallow film that delivers a lackluster execution of what could have been an interesting concept.
