Jake Gyllenhaal hamming it up.
Over CGI'd again at the end. (0 more)
Where does Marvel go after the enormous success of “Avengers: Endgame“? The answer is a joyous comedy romp with your friendly neighbourhood Spider-man. His school trip to Europe was never going to be without incident, but who'd have expected Jake Gyllenhaal to rock up as a new superhero? A good blast of family popcorn fun.

When Doctor Aphra was first introduced in the first Darth Vader run by Kieron Gillen, I really liked her. She was a fun character and I found her intriguing. Apparently, I wasn't the only one, because Marvel ordered a series about her.
It was smart to have Gillen write the first part of her run, but I began to find her character kind of annoying and so predictable. From this volume, her character has began going downhill (I read Vol 3 before this one and JFC, she just grows more annoying).
Parts of the story were interesting, but overall, it was just kind of meh.

"This whirlwind cautionary tale, which explores the dark dynamic between powerful newspaper columnist J. J. Hunsecker (Burt Lancaster) and the obsequious lapdog of a publicist Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis), is a cinematic marvel—especially for the jaw-dropping dialogue of the screenplay, which was cowritten by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman and adapted from Lehman’s autobiographical novelette about his early experiences working for a Broadway publicist. With its high-contrast, black-and-white cinematography and jazzy Elmer Bernstein score, the film conveys a certain kind of mythical 1950s New York City more vividly than any other film I can think of. And the on-location street scenes are to die for."
