Spider-Man: Far From Home – A Movie Review
Spider-Man: Far From Home is an impressive exhibition of visual effects with some great one-liners, but the most interesting thing about the movie happens during the middle and end of the credits. If you’re not familiar with the plot, Spider-Man: Far From Home sends Peter Parker and his classmates on a European vacation. While there,…

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse – A Movie Review
When I first saw the trailer for this movie and noticed it was PG, I thought, “Huh. That might be one for the kids and me.” We weren’t in a rush to see it, mind you, but as the reviews kept praising it, and as Rotten Tomatoes continued to maintain a 97% “fresh” rate, I…

Why I’m Passing On Venom
Last April, I posted the following comic panel … As you can tell, the first Venom trailer did not impress me. I’m sure you’ll find this surprising because I’m something of a fan of that genre. If it’s a comic book movie, I’m pretty much guaranteed to watch it. But something about Venom just turned…

Spider-Man: Homecoming – A Movie Review
I have to be honest, even though I thought Tom Holland’s Spider-Man proved one of the best parts of Civil War, I did not feel excited about yet another reboot of his own movie series. I absolutely did not want to sit through poor Uncle Ben getting killed yet again, Pete getting bitten by a…

Captain America: Civil War – A Movie Review
(Spoiler-free) When it comes to Marvel movies, I am pretty good at remaining objective. DC movies … not so much – I’m a fanboy. I can honestly tell you that if you’re a fan of the super hero genre, it just doesn’t get much better than Captain America: Civil War. This movie absolutely satisfied on…

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – A Movie Review
So I’ll be honest – I never had much interest in the Spider-Man reboot. I liked the original two by Sam Raimi, not so much the third, and I didn’t see much point in starting over with a new set of actors and a new director. When Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man came out with…

The New Avengers, Vol. 6: Revolution – A Graphic Novel Review
I really enjoyed this volume of New Avengers. The title gets a bit of a shake-up after the events of Civil War with a revamped, underground Avengers team featuring a black-suited Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Wolverine, Spider-Woman and the welcomed additions of Iron Fist, Dr. Strange and Ronin (a much-missed old friend wearing new duds). The…

Spider-Man 3 – A Movie Review
(I’m almost sure there are no spoilers in this review, but read at your own risk.) From the get-go, I thought Spider-Man 3 looked a bit … crowded. I had no idea how they were going to incorporate new angles with Sandman, Venom, and Gwen Stacy, as well as follow up on logical story progressions…
