How may reviews for Superman movies does the world need? It needs ours and that’s about it. Everyone else can go back to Krypton. Yes, we sat down and finally watched James Gunn’s Superman[2025].

Have you taken your vitamin C lately? Health advice? No, we’re asking if you’ve taken a double dose of manga reviews. You might think that would be vitamin M or maybe R. We say C because it’s short for charm which our reviews are never short of. Of course we’ll probably forget this the next time a description needs be made but that’s all part of our vitamin C.

You know what people really love? No, not millions of dollars in unmarked bills delivered to their front door. It’s sequels after years of waiting. Which is why the movie Tron: Legacy was the most beloved of all. So how do you follow up with that? Wait over fifteen years and deliver another sequel. So we get Tron: Ares[2025].
