Daredevil 2003 (Extended)

Daredevil 2003 came in the a wave of Marvel comic book success stories like Blade, Spider-Man and X-Men. Ben Affleck’s Matt Murdoch however didn’t manage to reach those same heights despite being a pretty solid action movie. For the time. How could it not with Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin, Colin Farrell in his first comic book villain role as Bullseye and Jennifer Garner as Elektra who recently returned in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Captain America: Civil War (Extended)

Captain America is back and this time he wants to beat up Iron Man! In wrapping up our look at the Steve Rogers Captain America trilogy we take a look at the biggest entry, Civil War. After Tony Stark again begins to feel bad about being a bad bloke he backs the General Ross drafted Sokovia Accords which means more regulations for any enhanced beings. This acts as the introduction of both Spider-Man and Black Panther and divides The Avengers into two distinct teams who beat each other up in an airport among other physical activities.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Extended)

We’ve reached what many consider to be the pinnacle of the MCU, 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Taking place after the events of The Avengers we again see Steve Rogers adjusting to the modern world and delves into the grey area surrounding his work in the modern day. Also Hydra is back! And a mysterious assassin wearing a mask with a metal arm who may have ties to Captain America’s past! Also Nick Fury does some really cool stuff for what is probably the last time.

Captain America: The First Avenger (Extended)

We’re back with the first Caravan Of Garbage for 2025, Captain America: The First Avenger. In the lead up to Brave New World we take a look back at the first in the trilogy and the introduction of Chris Evan’s portrayal of Steve Rogers. Acting as a prequel in the MCU timeline it takes us back to his battles with the Red Skull and Hydra during the events of World War II. Directed by The Rocketeer’s Joe Johnston and also starring Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes and Stanley Tucci as Dr. Abraham Erskine it managed to lay the groundwork for future installments on top of being an absolutely cracking adventure movie in its own right. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

A mere year after the first entry in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy came The Two Towers, not simply a rehash of what came before but a vastly different continuation of the story. With the fellowship split up, Frodo and Sam making for Mordor with the one ring, Merry and Pippin hanging out with a talking tree and Aragon, Legolas and Gimli helping defend Rohan at Helms Deep things ramp up in a big way. Also Gandalf is back and he’s got a new style and powers and stuff. Thanks for watching our Caravan of Garbage review.

Noah (Extended)

In 2014 Darren Aronofsky hit us with the Russell Crowe lead biblical epic Noah. A bold and accurate(?) retelling of the classic Old Testament tale of one man and his family in a quest to help God kill everyone on earth but not all the animals, just most of them. This concludes our Rusty Crowe His-Trilogy for 2024, but don’t worry we’ll definitely return to more down the line. Probably like Robin Hood or whatever I dunno. Thanks for listening!

We’re back to continue on our Rusty Crowe His-Trilogy, a peak into three Russell Crowe historical epics. This week it’s 2003’s Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, a critically lauded nautical adventure that didn’t quite reach the audience it needs to warrent a sequel.

In the year 2000 Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe successfully brought swords and sandals cinema back to the big screen with Gladiator! An epic tale drenched in revenge, blood and sand in what has since been considered one of the greatest movies of all time.

The Thing 2011 (Extended)

In 2011 Universal had the absolute audacity to release a prequel to John’s Carpenter’s The Thing telling the story of the Norwegian camp we briefly saw in the original. With Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton in the lead it seems as if a genuinely solid attempt was made at recapturing the magic of the first before studio interference didn’t do justice to the original practical special effects by papering them over with rushed CGI, diminished character moments and re-edited story beats. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

The Thing (Extended)

John Carpenter’s The Thing from 1982 we treated incredibly harshly upon it’s initial release. Labelled disgusting and mean on arrival audiences gradually turned around on it with it becoming one of the greatest horror movies of all time. With an incredible central performances from the likes of Kurt Russell and Keith David, ground breaking special effects from Rob Bottin, a haunting and terrifying atmosphere and an amazing score from the legendary Ennio Morricone it’s probably the best thing that’s ever happened to humanity. No cap. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

Oz the Great and Powerful (Extended)

In 2013 Sam Raimi decided to try something a little out of his wheelhouse of horror or comic book movies and directed a Wizard of Oz prequel focusing on the great and powerful wizard. Starring James Franco (RIP), Michelle Williams, Milla Kunis and Rachel Weisz it details his arrival into the mystical land, the origin of the Wicked Witch of the West and how the wizard has always been a dog of a bloke. Not a bad one to be honest. Anyways, thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review
