Stunning look at the multiverse and its many variations on Spider...persons.
Its look and presentation is as if a comic book had made the next logical step into animation as every frame is candy for the eyes.
The story is fresh and unrestrained in execution and if ever a movie needed a sequel it's this one...fantastic!

After watching the mess that was dark phoenix a few days ago,rewatching this was a timely reminder of how a comic book movie should be done.
This was a sequel that improved immensely on the original.A brilliant storyline,a bad guy who you could really hate and some top notch special effects.A classic

Part 2
This is still a great part, the ending is really good. I would highly reccordmend the comic book and also this film.
The Plot: Batman comes out of retirement and gets help from a teenage sidekick. He faces off against the Joker and Two-Face before a battle to the death begins against Superman.

Season 2 of the TV show based on the comic book of the same name as our heroes continue to thwart...
When their friend's father is robbed of a rare comic book, Nick and Tesla use their new self-built robots to try to find the thief.
Kids will enjoy this one. The characters are better than the first and in keeping with a middle grade novel. The plot is strong and actually threw a twist in there that surprised me.
NOTE: I received an ARC of this book via Amazon's Vine Program.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This but book was a lot of fun and a breeze to read.
I hadn't read the first one and it jumps straight into the action but there's some pretty decent exposition to help along.
I really liked the fact that it was told from three points of view.
I think Ty's story was my favorite but I adored Maggie's comic book love.
And hooray for strong friendships between women!

Awix (3310 KP) rated The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) in Movies
Mar 2, 2018 (Updated Mar 2, 2018)
A career that spanned over forty-five years, included nearly seventy movies, and featured the same accent every single time came to an end with this, Sean Connery's final on-screen appearance, in a would-be blockbuster based on Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's idiosyncratic comic series. The original heroes of pulp fiction are assembled to battle a mysterious villain with plans for world domination.
Connery had one of his massive spats with the director and virtually disowned the movie, but it's not really as bad as all that. It's not nearly as subtle, dark or clever as the comic book, obviously, and there's a horrendous moment in the second act where the whole thing grinds to a halt, but the effects are never less than competent, and the art direction is good. In the Marvel age of movies this is not without interest, making clear as it does the debt comic book heroes owe to the characters of an earlier age. Inevitably a bit of a disappointment, but not even the worst superhero movie of 2003.
