Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse review

 

Back in 2018 Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse released and it was a hugely enjoyable Spider-Man movie that was quite unlike anything that had come before it. So when a sequel was announced and that it was going to be the first of two parts I was both skeptical and excited at the same time but now after seeing Across the Spider-Verse I can say with strong and firm confidence that this is one of if not the greatest Spider-Man movies ever made. It transcends the animation form and is absolutely thrilling from the opening minutes until the very quite tense ending. Sony Animation Studios surely have a massive hit on their hands here and it is well deserved as it's clear the sheer amount of effort and work that went into this movie needs to be rewarded.


From it's stylish comic book sleek look to various different dimensions and lots and I do mean LOTS of different Spider-Men (and women) from throughout space and time the love show for the source material is heartwarming to witness. As for the story is is simply perfect with Miles Morales getting the main spotlight here but really it is as much his movie as it is Gwen Staceys. Their relationship is the true core of the movie and the many ups and downs they go through together are totally believable and equally as memorable.


Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a game changer of a movie not just when it comes to animation and what is possible in this medium but in comic book movies in general. From it's action and intense comic style to it's characters and strong sense of heart it is a spectacular tribute to the Spider-Man character and it's mythology. This is going to be one of the best movies of the year and we're only in June. This is the new bar going forward and should be shown and remembered time and time again long after it leaves the theater. If you're a fan of Spider-Man or the comic movie formula in general you owe it to yourself to see this!

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
