Captain America: Civil War (2016)

Avengers vs Crossbones n Crew: 3.5/5


Cap/Bucky vs Panther/Cops: 3.75/5


Bucky vs The World: 3.75/5


Airport Scene: 4.75/5


Iron Man vs Cap/Bucky: 4/5




This movie is excellent. As far as action goes, the airport scene is the best action scene in the history of superhero films. That's no hyperbole, I think that's going to be universally agreed on. That scene alone is worth the price of admission. And yet, every other action scene is good to great. In terms of action, this film can't be beat.

But I love it as a movie too. The characterization, the performances...this is an all around excellent film. The Russo brothers are masters of their craft. I'm not even a comic book fan, but between Spiderman, Black Panther and Ant-Man there were so many fun new interactions between these characters. And everyone was made to look good in this movie, everyone had something to do. Even Scarlet witch!

I can't decide if this or Avengers is the best MCU movie ever. They're both in my top 3 superhero movies of all time as it stands.

I love this movie. Highly recommended.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 12: "The Dark At The End Of The Tunnel" (2016)

Young Elektra vs Dudes: 3.5/5


Elektra vs Stick: 2.5/5


Elektra/Daredevil/Stick vs Hand: 3/5


Daredevil vs Hand in Tunnel: 2.5/5


Daredevil vs Hand: 3/5


Daredevil/Elektra vs Hand: 2.75/5


Daredevil vs Nobu: 3/5




A lot of good fighting in this episode. The character element of Matt having to learn to track their breath was really cool, too. He can't just run through the Hand like red shirts. They adapted to him and he had to adapt in turn. Really dug that.

Stick is awesome. This cannot be debated.

Elektra's became a great character as well. She was great when she was first introduced, then cooled off in the middle there. But she's been great in both this and last episode.

On a side note has Karen Page ever not been in danger this season? She's been almost murdered about a half dozen times in the past 5 episodes, it feels like.

Anyway, I've loved this season.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 13: "A Cold Day In Hell's Kitchen" (2016)

Daredevil/Elektra vs Hand: 2.5/5



Daredevil/Elektra vs Hand/Nobu: 3.25/5



What a great fucking show. That rooftop fight felt really epic at the start, but it kind of made no sense that those other ninjas standing around didn't help Nobu. I really dug it, though.

Elektra better come back. I was very into her character especially in the last 2 episodes.

No 4 star fights this season but a lot of good fights. Probably gonna make a list of the best fights in Daredevil thus far. I like lists.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 11: ".380" (2016)

Daredevil vs The Hand: 3.5/5


Punisher vs Henchmen: 3.25/5


Daredevil vs Punisher: 2/5





Another great episode, highlighted by The Punisher being a total badass.

Also, Madame Gao is back! That's awesome.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 10: "Man In The Box" (2016)

Elektra vs Assassin: 3.5/5




This may very well be my favorite 1 on 1 fight in the show thus far. It's well lit, the stuntwork is good, the progression of the fight is solid and logical. And we have some cool moves.

My one gripe is that it had the cliche "stab a guy with the knife he's holding" ending, which happens in fight scenes way more often than is probable. Still though, great stuff here.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 9: "7 Minutes In Heaven" (2016)

Castle vs Inmates: 3.5/5


Castle vs Fisk: 2/5


Daredevil vs Nobu: 3.25/5



Some real good fighting in this one. Especially the prison fight, which is the first well lit fight of the series.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 8: "Guilty As Sin" (2016)

Elektra, Daredevil, Stick vs Ninjas: 2.25/5


Murdock vs Ninja: 3.25/5


Stick's back! Now all the pieces are in place. This is another great episode, though the opening fight is muddled in a lot of darkness.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 7: "Semper Fidelis" (2016)

Daredevil & Elektra vs Yakuza: 3.25/5


Daredevil vs Yakuza: 2.25/5


I love this goddamn show.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 5: "Kinbaku" (2016)

Daredevil & Elektra vs Yakuza Assasins: 3.5/5


Daredevil & Elektra vs yakuza Security: 2/5


This episode has my second favorite fight of the show thus far. Not just a bunch of red shirts, but some goons with some level of skill.

I really dug this episode. Elektra is so great.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 4: "Penny And Dime" (2016)

Daredevil & Punisher vs Irish Thugs: 2.75/5


Good episode. Loved how in the fight Daredevil prevented Punisher from killing people. Good stuff.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 3: "New York's Finest" (2016)

Daredevil vs Dogs Of Hell: 3.75/5



I really liked this episode, except for Foggy's monologue that stopped the gangsters from fighting. That felt contrived. But at least Rosario Dawson is back!

We also got the best fight of the season thus far. I think this was supposed to be this season's equivalent to the hallway fight in "Cut Man" from season 1. While this was not quite as good as that, it was still very good. Long takes, good choreography and a real sense of danger for our hero.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 2: "Dogs To A Gunfight" (2016)

Daredevil vs Punisher: 3/5


Great episode. I think I liked the fight from episode 1 a little better. And they're clearly trying to write Foggy as someone who matters. So far so good, this season is rolling.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 1: "Bang" (2016)

Daredevil vs Punisher: 3/5


Good episode, I love how we're not messing around and getting straight into the Punisher action. I'm in for this season.

Marvel's Daredevil Episode 13 "Daredevil" (2015)

Daredevil vs Kingpin: 3.5/5




Ah yes, the big climactic showdown. Lots of Kingpin headbutts and Daredevil acrobatics. He even jumps off the wall to kick Kingpin at one point. Solid fight, worthy of closing out such a great show.

Marvel's Daredevil Episode 11 "The Path Of The Righteous" (2015)

Murdock vs Potter: 3.25/5



Only one fight but it's an intriguing one. I like whenever Murdock tries to intimidate a guy but then that guy turns out to be no pushover. Solid.

Marvel's Daredevil Episode 9 "Speak Of The Devil" (2015)

Murdock vs Ninja, Part 2: 3.5/5


Murdock vs Ninja, Part 3: 3/5


Ass kicking Montage: 2.5/5


Murdock vs Ninja, Parts 1 and 4: 3.5/5


Murdock vs Fisk: 2.5/5



A lot of good action in this episode. Murdock's battle with The Ninja, if looked at as one collective fight, is the best fight in the series thus far besides the long take. Adding ninjas to most things make them more badass.

We also get our first taste of Murdock vs Fisk. Just a taste, I'm sure there's more to come.

Marvel's Daredevil Episode 7 "Stick" (2015)

Kid Murdock vs Stick: 2.75/5


Murdock vs Thugs: 3/5


Murdock vs Stick: 3.5/5



I mean, Stick is awesome. He's an elderly, dickish, hardass badass. I loved every scene he was in. And his fight with Murdock at the end was beautiful storytelling. We might not see him again for a while but his presence really brought new energy to the show.

Marvel's Daredevil Episode 6 "Condemned" (2015)

Murdock vs Cops: 2.75/5


Murdock vs Vladimir: 2/5


Murdock vs Cops: 2/5



Good little fight in the beginning. Nothing too substantial afterwards, more short confrontations. Beginning to feel like the fight in episode 2 won't come close to being matched. Show's still awesome, though.

Marvel's Daredevil Episode 5 "World On Fire" (2015)

Murdock vs Russians: 2/5


Murdock vs Russian Guard: 2.25/5


Murdock vs Vladmir: 2/5



Really short bursts of fighting. It's a great episode, just no memorable fights.

Marvel's Daredevil Episode 4 "In The Blood" (2015)

Garage Fight: 2.5/5

Fisk vs Anatoly: 3/5



Sweet, Kingpin's finally getting some. The first fight is pretty standard "hero lurks in the shadows" warfare, but still well done. Fisk's fight is brutal. As it should be.
