Uncharted Review: Tom Holland Banter and Charm Saves the Day

It may seem like a natural transition for Uncharted, one of the most cinematic game franchises in history, to be adapted to the big screen, but the games aren’t just movielike in their presentation; they’re every bit as well-made and entertaining as the Hollywood action movies they pay homage to, if not moreso. Even the games’ protagonist Nathan Drake, voiced by Nolan North, is as charismatic and likable as any movie action hero you could name. So, if the games essentially out-movie the movies they’re based on, why make an Uncharted movie in the first place? As it turns out,…

Tom Holland, Uncharted, and Marvel Actors in Want of a Second Movie Franchise

Tom Holland doesn’t want to play Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man forever. To put a finer point on it, Holland doesn’t want to be playing Spider-Man in as few as five years. He said as much while promoting the biggest Spider-Man movie of all-time, last year’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. “Maybe it is time to move on,” Holland told GQ in November, ahead of the release of No Way Home and this month’s Uncharted. “Maybe what’s best for Spider-Man is that they do a Miles Morales film… [but] if I’m playing Spider-Man after I’m 30, I’ve done something wrong.” Holland turns 26…

There has never been a bigger year for the Dark Knight in movie theaters. Not only will we get a brand-new version of the character played by Robert Pattinson in director Matt Reeves‘ upcoming film, The Batman, but we’re also set to see the return of Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck to the role in The Flash. Yes, that’s three Batmen across two movies, and one of them is already shooting yet another movie as the Caped Crusader. Keaton has arrived in Glasgow to film his scenes for the Batgirl movie, which will hit HBO Max some time later this…

Will a Knuckles Live-Action Series Team-up With Sonic?

Get ready to cleanse yourself of the evil spirits that are in you because Knuckles the Echidna, the sometimes nemesis and sometimes pal of Sonic the Hedgehog, has his own live-action TV series in the works at Paramount+. Not only that but it appears to be a spin-off of the current Sonic the Hedgehog film series, with Idris Elba reprising the voice of Knuckles for the show. This is not only the first live-action Sonic TV series but also the first Sonic show in general that will be squarely focused on Knuckles. This begs the question of what the series…

The Legacy of Marvel’s Ghost Rider Movie

On Feb. 16, 2007, Mark Steven Johnson’s Ghost Rider movie hit theaters. Nicolas Cage starred as Johnny Blaze, a motorcycle stuntman powered by the devil to slay the damned in the form of a man with a flaming skull. It was the perfect vehicle for Nicolas Cage, a comic fan known for his often eccentric screen presence. Cage playing a demonic bounty hunter who spits hellfire is one of those things where it feels more like a documentary that only happens to resemble a Marvel Comics character. It’s a fun movie on its own that hits just the right level…

The Batman: How a Pivotal Robert Pattinson Scene Changed During Filming

“I’m vengeance.” Those are the terrifying words delivered by The Batman star Robert Pattinson after beating a very brave gang leader’s face into mush during one of the movie’s most buzzed about scenes. Since its debut in the film’s very first trailer, the “I’m vengeance” scene has become the subject of countless social posts, memes, and gifs. For some fans, it’s also the moment that finally sold them on the idea that Pattinson could embody a character as dark as Batman. But in our The Batman cover story for the new issue of Den of Geek magazine, Pattinson reveals that…

Marvel Movies Ranked: The Best and Worst MCU Films

This article contains spoilers for the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. We honestly don’t know what has taken us so long to actually do this, but it’s finally time. Den of Geek staff and readers have come together to vote in order to rank all 27 MCU movies so far! We figure that since we have an uncharacteristically long break between Marvel Cinematic Universe theatrical releases between December’s Spider-Man: No Way Home and May’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness now would be the opportune time to do an MCU ranking that wouldn’t be immediately invalidated by a new release.…

The Batman: Matt Reeves Addresses Why the Movie Doesn’t Have an R Rating

The Batman introduces a new, grittier take on the Dark Knight, one who definitely doesn’t mind beating criminals to a pulp. In the trailers released thus far, we’ve watched as Robert Pattinson hands out all manner of savage punishments, from turning a gang leader’s face into mush to electrocuting henchmen and knocking them out with their own guns. There’s no telling just how far he’ll go to deliver his brand of justice. As we learned from Pattinson himself in our The Batman cover story for the new issue of Den of Geek magazine, this version of the character definitely sounds…

Spider-Man: The Best Moments From the Sam Raimi Trilogy

This article is sponsored by: After the wild success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, it’s possible that Peter Parker is enjoying an all-time high in popularity. Not only that, interest in the Spider-Man movies that came out long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe is now booming, with fans rediscovering their love for the Tobey Maguire era of Spidey history. If you haven’t checked out Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man trilogy in a while, you’re in for a treat. We just did a full re-watch of all three films, and we’re pleased to report that they still hold up, and will satisfy…

The Batman: Robert Pattinson Recalls the First Thing He Did in His New Batsuit

The Batman not only introduces a new star to the Batcave but also a brand-new Batsuit, one unlike any we’ve seen on the big screen before. Built like expensive heavy duty armor designed to deflect bullets and blades, it nonetheless showcases this Bruce Wayne’s DIY spirit, complete with shoulder pads and a Bat symbol that looks like it was forged inside a garage. It’s exemplary of the film’s much more “grounded” approach to the Dark Knight‘s equipment. We spoke to Robert Pattinson for our The Batman cover story in the new issue of Den of Geek magazine and he told…

The Batman: Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves Confirm Exclusive New Details About the Film

You know the scene: the Batman stands before a gang of skull-faced goons who think this weirdo in a costume is a joke. “Who the hell are you supposed to be?” asks their leader, who’s about to find out, one punch at a time, that Robert Pattinson’s unhinged, hyper-violent Dark Knight is no laughing matter. “How it was initially staged was the guy says, ‘Who are you?’ And Batman says, ‘I’m vengeance,’ and then beats everybody up,” reveals a much friendlier Pattinson, who cracks up while explaining how he helped tweak the scene to make it even more horrifying. “I…

The Big Doctor Strange 2 Villain May Be Hiding in Plain Sight

Marvel Zombies! Wanda back in Westview! Strange Supreme! Defender Strange! Professor X! The Illuminati! Captain Carter! Rintrah! Gargantos! America Chavez! The Savage Land?!

Is Iron Man in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?

Speculation is running rampant about the identity of the mysterious fiery person in the new Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness trailer. Is it Captain Marvel gone full Binary? Is it Monica Rambeau powered up? The Human Torch’s first appearance in the MCU? Sunfire quitting the Illuminati? Or is it Vulcan, and DS2 is just a War of Kings adaptation? Probably not the last one.  But there is one very intriguing possibility, a version of Tony Stark that would fit the tone this movie appears to be going for… SUPERIOR IRON MAN Axis was Marvel’s 2014 summer comics crossover…

The Batman: The Movie That Inspired Bruce and Catwoman’s Relationship

Matt Reeves wanted to make a real neo noir with The Batman. He’s mentioned this more than once while talking about his epic reinvention of the Dark Knight, which is slated to release next month. But when he sat down to talk about the movie for the newest issue of Den of Geek magazine, Reeves revealed just how intently he studied classics of that genre, finding acute influences for everything from the degradation of Gotham City to a highly specific interpretation of Batman and Catwoman’s relationship. It was while discussing the latter element that both Reeves and Batman actor Robert…

Wayne’s World: The Inside Story of the Comedy Classic

Wayne’s World is celebrating its 30-year anniversary and it’s party time. Excellent. Originally released on Feb. 14, 1992, it brought Mike Myers and Dana Carvey’s lo-fi cable hosts Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar from weekly segment appearances on Saturday Night Live to global domination on the big screen. Written by Myers, Bonnie Turner, and Terry Turner, Wayne’s World wasn’t expected to be a hit, much less a comedy classic with a $183 million worldwide box office take, and a sequel. It defied convention, enthusiastically breaking the fourth wall with characters directly addressing the camera, and exploring self-referential jokes, random cultural…

The Batman: Robert Pattinson Reveals the Villains He Wants to Fight in a Sequel

In March, Warner Bros. and director Matt Reeves are bringing a whole new vision of Gotham City and the Batman mythos to the big screen, with Robert Pattinson starring as a more hyper-violent version of the vigilante. In fact, we’ve already watched Pattinson dole out beating after savage beating in the trailers leading up to the movie’s release, but when we spoke to him for our The Batman cover story in the new issue of Den of Geek magazine, the actor was excited, even jovial, about where his Dark Knight might go next. Inevitably, the subject of a potential sequel…

Doctor Strange 2 Trailer Teases Marvel’s Illuminati, X-Men, and New Villains

Y’know, I’ll confess, a lot of us here at Den of Geek weren’t entirely sure of what to make of the teaser footage for Doctor Strange 2 that accompanied Spider-Man: No Way Home. It was cool, but something about it felt a little off. Well, that certainly isn’t the case with the first proper Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer, which looks absolutely RIDICULOUS and is packed with all kinds of major developments for the future of the MCU. Haven’t watched this trailer yet? Well, what are you waiting for? Now, here’s some of the big stuff we…

Oscars 2022: Predictions and Analysis

It was a good morning to work for Netflix. The streaming service which was once kept at arm’s length by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—and which Steven Spielberg once attempted to prevent from getting more Best Picture nominations by going directly to the Academy’s Board of Governors—is now the toast of the Oscars 2022 ball. Indeed, this morning’s Academy Awards nominations showered the streaming service with 20 nominations, 12 of which were for The Power of the Dog, more than any other film. Jane Campion’s Western scored the most love in at least the Oscar nomination process…

How Nightmare Alley Conjured Real Occult Worship

This article contains spoilers for both versions of NIGHTMARE ALLEY. “Fear is the key to human nature,” the Great Stanton learns in William Lindsay Gresham’s Nightmare Alley. That 1946 novel was a hit when it came out, even though it was banned and censored. And its spell lingered so long it was adapted by Academy Award-winning horror maestro, Guillermo del Toro, in 2021 with Bradley Cooper starring as the carny medium. This most recent adaptation, however, is just the second screen version, following in the footsteps of a 1947 cult noir classic starring Tyrone Power. Both versions struggled at the…
