Fast-forward to the release of 2008’s “Iron Man” — the start of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As a fan of comic books in general, I was excited for the MCU. Then, even as a child, I started to notice the trend of quantity over quality with blockbuster superhero m...

This film was never intended for people beyond Warner Bros. counting on nostalgia to get people to open their wallets. This film is intended for...
