Yes, we’re already three weeks into 2016 but I finally managed to put together my movie rankings for 2015. Because life. I only managed to see 51 films this year, a paltry sum compared to Watson when he isn’t even trying. And eight of those were on a plane to or from China, making the theater total even lower. Definitely a busy year, but overall a great one for movies. Head after the jump to see how I ranked all 51!
GabbingGeek.com was only a few weeks old when I wrote about my bold predictions for 2015 movies. Now that we know the rankings for the year, it’s time to judge those bold predictions. Jump after the break to find out why I hate Jurassic World even more.
I haven’t had an article on Gabbing Geek for a while not because I’ve been to lazy or busy, although both are certainly true the rest of the year, but because I’ve been in China and Hong Kong. And while I’m still overseas I did find a couple of things for sale showing the Asian version of excluding female characters from toy sets. While U.S. fans still ask Where’s Rey in Star Wars sets it was only a brief few months we were asking the same about Black Widow in Age of Ultron sets. If you thought replacing Widow with Ultron was bad, check out what they do in China and Hong Kong after the break.

With many of their company wide events, Marvel likes to publish a “Guide” book to help those that may be lost about what circumstances lead to the current crossover and who the main players are.
Even being the completist that I am, I almost never read these. The problem for me is the format. They are just page after page of very small text with the occasional recycled image added where appropriate.
But since I’m attempting to read all of Secret Wars, will I manage to read this as well? Answer: no. So the question becomes, should you? Find out after the cut. (Spoilers: no, no you shouldn’t.)

We here at Gabbing Geek LOVE box office reports. Ok….JUST me and Ryan. Everyone else seems to hate them. We’ve talked a lot about it the last few weeks, so let’s look at the winners and losers of this year’s box office as we wait for the Martian to officially kick off the Fall movie season.

In a January article by Gabbing Geek’s own Ryan Garcia, he predicted the 2015 Top Ten Grossing films (domestic). Rule of thumb says that to crack the top ten, a film will need to surpass $200M+. Some of Ryan’s picks were right. Some were wrong. Where will we wind up and what could spoil Ryan’s top ten list?
The movie was iffy at best, but Age of Ultron did have some incredible character designs.

The creation of the Gabbing Geek Secret Wars Power Rankings was definitely a team effort. The blame for the majority of the actual rankings though, falls squarely with me. I like making lists of stuff, as evident by my Spider-Man Chronology, but I hate ranking things. So going through each and every Secret Wars issue and trying to give them a ranking was outside my usual comfort zone. But that’s why I get paid the big bucks.
But like anything of this nature, opinions vary. My tastes are different from others on the Gabbing Geek staff, and likely different from yours. With that in mind, I asked Ryan and Tom to give me their opinions on the most overrated and underrated series on the list. Find out what they had to say after the break.
The critics weren’t kind. Audiences gave it an equally bad grade. Could Fantastic Four even hold off a popular Mission Impossible film in its second frame?
