LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Spider-Man (2002) in Movies
Sep 19, 2020
The first major blockbuster Spider-Man movie hasn't aged particularly well, but it's overflowing with charm and a great cast.
Watching this as an adult is still as much fun as it was back in 2002 (when I was a fresh faced 13 year old). Tobey Maguire, Willem Defoe, James Franco, Kirsten Dunst, Cliff Robertson, Rosemary Harris, J.K. Simmons - all of them are really well cast and bring their comic book counterparts to life in a way that captured the imaginations of comic fans everywhere, all backed up by a fantastic score by Danny Elfman.
It's faults are few, but mainly in line with the first X-Men film - it's just doesn't quite stand up compared to comic films today and suffers from sub standard CGI and an early 2000s time stamp - I must say though - I have a special kind of love for the borderline Power Rangers villain costume that Green Goblin gets to wear...
Spider-Man is an important milestone in bringing comic books to the big screen, and will surely be enjoyed for years to come.

Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Big Hero 6, Vol. 1 in Books

I received Disney's Big Hero 6, vol. 1 from Goodreads in exchange for an honest review of the book. I am a person who loved all things Disney. When I entered to review this book I was not expecting it to be a comic book. Comic books are not something I enjoy typically. This book is about a boy named Hiro who is a genius and dreams of being an inventor like his older brother. The book takes an unexpected turn when Hiro's old brother vanishes while saving his life. Hiro was devastated. Hiro had every right to sulk in his grief and be lonely and blame himself for his brothers disappearance, but instead he develops a friendship with his brother's last invention; a health-care companion robot named Baymax. The robot was exactly what Hiro needed to get back up on his feet. Baymax and Hiro go on many adventures which helps Hiro to not be as lonely. The book follows the plot of the movie closely but the author has his own twist to it.

Gadot's performance is first rate and Jenkins' direction is consistently exciting. They've taking something filled with potential and actually delivered on most of it - and that's something I haven't said about a comic book movie in a very long time.

Prior to his run in with the law, Snipes was quite the action star and this follow up to the surprising original gives us another action packed comic book entry that kicks ass and is an exciting watch with an interesting new villain.
There is also an interesting conflict introduced into the plot that augments an aleady good storyline.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2206 KP) rated The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book in Books

No new comics you can't find in the other collections, but it does contain some of the best from this comic strip. And Bill Watterson's commentary on the strips is priceless for die hard fans of the classic.

The start of the classic comic strip. See Calvin meet so many of the characters we came to know and love, including Hobbes. Yes, some of the jokes are dates (VCR's anyone?), but the humor is just priceless.

The Craggus (360 KP) rated Glass (2019) in Movies
Jan 30, 2019
Glass (2019) sets out to shatter the superhero paradigm. #Review
Closer in tone and intent to “Unbreakable” than its immediate predecessor “Split”, “Glass” sees filmmaker M Night Shyamalan returning to the world of comic book super heroics, not to homage or reimagine them, but to deconstruct them - especially their latest cinematic incarnations....
