I may be in the minority here but I like my Spider-Man films to have some Spider-Man in them. Watching Far From Home, you’d struggle to believe this was the second solo outing for the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the … Continue reading Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Review
Into the Spider-Verse is a bold movie. It kills off it’s most recognisable character in the first act. It introduces not one but six unique Spider-People into a cinematic world already full of superheroes. It uses an animation style that looks … Continue reading Review Bonanza: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) Review
