I don't really have any proper schedule for reviewing movies, especially for older ones -- they just tend to happen when I sort of feel the urge to watch an old movie.

My reviews for the earth-shatteringly popular cinematic adaptation for the adaptations of Marvel's superhero comics. Phase 1 to 2 are all recently rewritten. Some of the 2015-2016 era movie reviews might not be quite up to the standards to my other reviews and are more reactions than anything.
MCU Phase One: The Avengers
X-Men Cinematic Universe:
Fox has had an ironclad grip on the X-Men movie franchise since the 2000's, and has been producing X-Men movies independently from Sony or Marvel Studios ever since. Despite their weird stance on continuity, including the 'soft reboot' in 2011 and the time travel branching timelines caused by 2014's Days of Future Past, the X-Men movies have raked relatively great reception over the years, in no small part due to the iconic casting of Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine.
With Marvel Studios's acquisition of Fox, some aspects of this continuity has been folded into the MCU's Multiverse.
Non-MCU Marvel Movies:
Other movies based on Marvel properties. Of particular note are the various versions of Spider-Man and Fantastic Four movies. Most of these have essentially concluded, and some versions of these characters have had crossovers with the MCU.

Other Marvel Movies:
An attempted soft reboot for Superman in 2006 ended in relatively lukewarm reception, and 2011's Green Lantern was meant to be the head of a new DC shared universe until heavy critical and audience backlash ended up causing WB to scrap their plans, instead starting their 'DC Extended Universe', as it's called, with 2013's Man of Steel, and for a while it's a one-movie franchise until 2016 released Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad, which were met with heavily polarizing reception. The DCEU finally had a movie that pleased most critics with 2017's Wonder Woman, and leading to a different take on most of the movies starting with that year's projects.
