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 “The Prosecutor (2024)”

The Prosecutor is an interesting film, as it’s actually a legal-focused thriller first and foremost, with the martial arts action coming second. I found this blend of genres to work surprisingly well, and I give Donnie props for trying something different. The movie features a phenomenal opening action sequence and an incredible climactic one too. When it comes to the action scenes, you definitely won’t be disappointed. However, the legal aspect—which makes up the majority of the film—is unfortunately a bit lacklustre and predictable. I wish the courtroom scenes had explored more of the complexities of the justice system and delivered more intense drama. It didn’t help that the villain was incredibly one-dimensional. Still, it’s an entertaining action movie overall, and this film does show that Donnie knows how to handle action.

A “QUICK!” Review of “65 (2023)”

I love Dinosaurs I also love Sci-Fi However, this Dinosaur and Sci-Fi movie doesn’t work. There is barely any plot, barely any character depth, and a severe lack of dialogue. I don’t know why the writer made the characters unable to speak the same language because it just hinders the character interactions. They don’t even explain what mission our main character was on and why the girl was there. It also has a lot of questionable things such as why a futuristic ship couldn’t sense an asteroid belt, yet the main character has a sensor that works great on the ground. The director and writer don’t make us care enough about anything. So you should not care to watch this.

A “QUICK!” Review of “Heart Eyes (2025)”

Heart Eyes has the makings of a really cool modern slasher character. The killer’s design is pretty cool, and the concept of killing couples on Valentine’s Day is a novel idea. The movie even starts off well with some creative kills. However, the movie goes downhill from there. It turns into an incredibly corny romcom—the dialogue is sappy, and the characters feel cartoonish. The movie then whiplashes between romance and horror, as if suddenly remembering there’s a killer on the loose. At one point, in the middle of a chase, the characters start opening up to each other—which was definitely not the time. Meanwhile, the killer becomes increasingly incompetent, failing to take out the main characters. The comedy doesn’t land, the romance is bland, but the kills are at least enjoyable. Just don’t go into this expecting a full-on slasher horror movie.
