‘Agent Carter’ Episode 7 review: ‘Snafu’

If last week’s episode of Agent Carter belonged to the women then ‘Snafu’, with all due respect to the title character, really belongs to the men. Take Mr Jarvis, the effete English manservant who serves both as Howard Stark’s representative and as Agent Carter’s foil. Full of inspiration and improvisation he turns up at SSR … >

‘Agent Carter’ Episode 6 review: ‘A Sin to Err’

Having variously punched, shoved and concussed what seems like every law-enforcement man in New York, Agent Carter is ironically brought down by a woman at the end of this sixth episode.

‘Agent Carter’ Episode 2 review: ‘Bridge and Tunnel’

It’s the second episode of Marvel’s Agent Carter and we might have already hit a slighty stumbling block. It’s still an absolute joy to watch, the characters are all on point and it’s visually impressive, but there’s something lacking in the plot department. I’m beginning to think they should’ve taken a leaf out of Torchwood … >

‘Ant-Man’ movie review: Paul Rudd’s charm carries the film

The Marvel franchise has always had a lightness of touch to it, even as the films have gotten increasingly weighty and serious. But when Guardians of the Galaxy emerged as almost a straight up comedy last summer, that largely unknown property took audiences by storm. Ant-Man is in a similar position in terms of its … >

‘Agent Carter’ Episode 1 review: ‘Now is Not the End’

Marvel has indisputably dominated the movie industry for the past decade and with the next few years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe already mapped out, there seems to be no signs of it slowing down. Marvel’s TV productions – though popular – haven’t managed the same level of success. Netflix might have hit the ground … >
