That’s right. He also features here but not in such a leading capacity – this is more of an ensemble piece, although nominally I guess the leads of the movie are Johnny Cage (played by Karl Urban who does a decent if unremarkable job and plays it exactly how you’d expect) and Kitana, who gets a surprisingly decent…Read more

There are a few characters that return from that movie and a bit of backstory but it’s all recapped in this one.

There wasn’t even a fighting tournament in the first one – that happens in this one – so in retrospect the whole first movie feels like a glorified prologue for this…Read more

Compared to the previous film (which I thought was good but not great) this one learns some lessons and features lots of great fights, plenty of fun personalities, less extraneous storytelling detail and a simpler, more fun plot that is just an…Read more

Really good. It does well in balancing the spooky horror and the comedy without undercutting the creepier elements, and Matthew Rhys (who I liked a lot in The Beast In Me) is a great lead. Already looking forward to the next episodes.

I used to catch up on a lot of books that way.

The digital comics infrastructure has sadly taken a big step backwards since Comixology got swallowed up by Amazon.

I find it all really flat and unengaging and it seems to miss a lot of what makes Daredevil appealing as a character. D’Onofrio is great but even his performance can’t carry this.

A more human and slightly more detective-oriented take on Batman, with some dark, creepy stories, great villains, and a nice overarching story arc to connect it all. Plus the art is great. Highly recommended.

It’s a little better than last season (by virtue of actually having Daredevil in it a fair bit), but it still feels like all the pieces aren’t coming together quite like they should. D’Onofrio is as great as ever and the crime plot is ok on paper, but somehow it all feels a bit like it’s going through the motions…Read more

For me the aspect that makes it pretty clear that it’s not motivated by transphobic principles is that trans men are still free to compete in the male category if they choose, because it doesn’t confer any competitive advantage.

But being too close to SNL’s style makes a UK remake feel safe and pointless if it’s not going to do anything differently.

If I’m honest, in large part it felt more like a UK-themed show to sell to American audiences than a show for UK viewed.
