How awesome is this!? The creator of such cancelled gems as Firefly (Fox) Dollhouse (Fox) and Angel (Fox) now has the big screen bravado of Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark and Sam Jackson’s Nick Fury speaking his sarcastically delicious dialogue in the biggest superhero movie of all time. A helluva step up if you ask us.

Sure, it looks more like Iron Man 3 with some Chrises Evans and Hemsworth cameos, but you can’t help but love the way Tony admires Dr. Banner’s work.

Plus, Tony keeps wearing a Black Sabbath shirt, which is pure Iron Man.

Now, we’re not saying there’s anything WRONG with twisted metal and 3D Bay-splosions… in fact, making a film in 3D seems to have slowed down Bay’s editing pace considerably. But if you were expecting maybe third times the charm for Bay and the Transformers source material, you’ll be just as disappointed by this one as all the others. There’s barely enough to recognize your favourite 80′s cartoon was the basis of this 2.5-hour romp, but after it leaves you exhausted at the credits, you’ll need to watch the original cartoon to remind yourself what the Ark was and that Shockwave has a broader vocabulary than a cockroach.

With THOR, summer comicbook movies are open for business. From Hopkins to Portman the cast was phenomenal, and Chris Hemsworth is officially perfect casting as the God of Thunder. But the big surprise was just how expertly Kenneth Branagh managed to direct a film that spans an Ice Kingdom, Asgard and New Mexico! What did you think?

And once the DVD comes out in the Spring, we’ll be giving it a Matt + Nat review just like we would for any geeky/genre/comicbook movie!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 is easily the darkest film in the series, but as half a movie, it’s tough to judge on its own merit. We both loved it to death, but we’ve also BOTH read all the books at this point. What did you think?

The cast of RED could have all phoned in their performances, and it still would have been some of the finest acting that the action genre has ever seen. Toss in Helen Mirren firing an artillery canon, and this baby is worth catching in the theatre for sure! Just don’t go in expecting to see the Warren Ellis comics on the big screen.

~Matt + Nat

With a cast like Bruce WIllis, Morgan Freeman, Richard Dreyfus, John Malkovich, Ernest Borgnine and Helen Mirren, there’s really no other reason needed to go see this one immediately. But the fact that it’s based on a comicbook from the mind of the iconic Warren Ellis just puts this baby over the top!

Adapted from a book that’s loosely based on Facebook’s amazing rise to ubiquity, The Social Network has a lot more going for it as a film than it does as a history lesson. But Matt & Nat both agree that this is a must-see film, even if it doesn’t quite fill the big-screen at the multiplex. So if you don’t have the time or cash to catch it in the theatre, you can forgive yourself for watching it on your TV, iPad or PSP.

12 Geeks out of 15.

You’d never know it from the opening weekend at the Box Office, but Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is one seriously ingenious film. Ingenious from the pacing, to the visuals, to the meta-data, which is to say nothing for the fact that Edgar Wright made an incredible adaptation of the source material at the same time! Whatever you do today, make sure that it includes checking this movie out!

Edgar Wright is the kind of director that has gotten a fan following all his own, but when his film gets the concept from a graphic novel as popular as Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim series, you just know something special is going to happen! Watch him and his cast take you into the world of Scot Pilgrim, along with some exclusive snippets of the movie, and some wild remixes of scenes!
