A wonderfully festive story
Until now, I don't think I've ever read a specifically Christmas themed book and especially not one based around the origin of Father Christmas. Until now that is, and what a wonderfully festive book to choose.

This is ultimately a kids book, so it's nothing fancy language-wise but it's still very well written and engaging. Nikolas is an endearing and lovable main character, although I think him and the rest of the characters in this book are not as well developed as they could be (probably because it's a kids book). The story itself is such fun and heartwarming and quite amusing at times, and it's a great idea for the origin of Father Christmas. It has definitely helped me to get into the festive spirit!

The voice actors
The animation style was really cool, and I'm sure it would have looked amazing in 3D. The voice-actors were also top-notch, I don't think any other actor could have done Spider-Man Noir like Nicholas Cage. I'm not really a Miles Morales fan because I'm not in the target demographic, but this film made him palatable.
The only thing that annoyed me was that it was another Spidey origin story, and frankly, I don't know how many more Spidey origin stories I can take.
This movie is going to kill the other wide releases here in the US this weekend.

I can seriously live my entire life without hearing about his death, and the 'With great power comes great responsibility' quote EVER again.

Incredible origin movie meets great storytelling sets the scene for the rise of an arrogant billionaire arms dealers transformation to a billionaire arms dealer with a cause.
Robert Downey Jr was born to play the role and its difficult to imagine anyone else as the titular character.
It delivers an intelligent and heartwarming fun story that sets the bar for future entries into the Marvel Canon!

I am a big fan of the Soul Calibur series. Soul Calibur VI is fantastic. There is a great story mode where you can play as the different characters and see their origin story. There is also a mode where you can create your own character and do various quests to move the story along. Arcade mode is in the game too of course so you can play matches with your friends. The game controls are excellent and the graphics for the game look fantastic. The voice acting and music for the game are great also. Soul Calibur VI is a lot of fun to play and very well done.

Good job on villians
Leave it to Marvel Studios and Sony to make the Vulture an actual cool and intimidating villian.
I'm really glad that the 'rehashing the origin story' was not done and, at least by now, people should already know how Spider-Man came to be. I was concerned the coming of age premise would be annoying, but they did a great job and had me immersed into the story quickly.

There were several laugh out loud moments for me, so expect a movie that you can have fun with.
