Movie Review: Spider-Man — No Way Home
3.5 stars out of 5I thought we could get some peace and quiet while the Avengers are still off in disintegrated-into-ash land.

Movie Review: Spider-Man — Far From Home

The character was introduced in Captain America: Civil War? Why? Didn’t see it. And why is Iron Man in this? It reeks of lazy corporate cross-promotion and a […]
Movie Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 2
2.5 stars out of 5 Wait, X-Men 18 can’t come out yet, I still need to review Spidey 2! For the first… I don’t know, hour?… I was basically enjoying this. Despite the fact that it’s not great, the writing is flimsy, and Spider-Man’s suit looks really cheap. I know, I know, teenage Peter made […]
