It’s Summertime, and while your local cinema is full of people flying around in tight pants, we’re beaming our X-ray vision in the direction of the greatest superheroes to ever to hit the big screen. From low-budget '80s misfits to blockbuster caped crusaders, from foul-mouthed tween assassins to intergalactic vermin with anger issues, we’ve got something for every kind of superhero fan. Capes optional.

It's been 28 days since 28 Years Later hit cinemas with its rage virus, so it's only right we take a deep look into the societal mirror that are zombie movies.

From rage-fueled chaos to slow, unstoppable dread, we count down our favourite depictions of the undead and what they reveal about the living.

Lock the doors. Listen quietly. And... don’t get bitten.

In honour of John Wick's return to the big screen in the spin-off film Ballerina, we’re trading words for fists, falling through cinema’s saloon doors and giving our eye witness accounts of the most bone-crunching, chair-smashing fight scenes of all time.

From the elegance of Chinese Wuxia to the grit of an old school brawl, the power of martial arts legends to the visual timing of a comedy icon, we explore how the on-screen punch up has evolved and what makes great big screen fisticuffs.

Tighten your kung-fu pyjamas, it's gonna get messy.

"Before we get started, does anyone wanna get out?" - Steve Rogers
