Movie Rating

I truly adored this film. It was so funny. In the Marvel scheme of things it's much more on the Guardians side than the Avengers. The opening sequence that we see a bit of in the trailers where Thor is suspended from a chain... amazing. Hulk coming into his own because he's been himself for two years... amazing. All of the cast working together... meh, okay... no, who am I kidding? It was amazing too.

Thor has always felt like he had the comedy side in him and I love that he got his bromance moments with Hulk in this movie.

Highlight for me apart from those I mentioned above has to be the Led Zeppelin fuelled fight scenes. Low point was that there weren't more Valkyrie scenes, the trailers made it seem like a much bigger part of the movie.

Crude Humour

Movie makes fun of itself and the studios

Holding on for a hero

I never tire of watching this movie, Reynolds has over the years proved to be quite versatile, playing serious roles and crossing various genres but Deadpool has to be his standout role, where he is hilarious, I love all the little digs he makes about the films low budget and the xmen movies, and the subtle digs at his off screen friend Hugh Jackman's Wolverine character, some may say that the violence is a bit over the top but the comedy side more than makes up for it, just wish Marvel would transition the Merc with a mouth into the more mainstream movies, could just imagine the interaction between Deadpool and Iron Man as Wilson would undoubtedly drive Stark nuts

David McK (3372 KP) rated Spider-Man: Hostile Takeover in Books

Mention the words Spider-man, and I'm sure the first thing most people think of is the Marvel comics.

Maybe closely followed by the 70s TV series or 90s cartoon, and the more recent big-screen outings.

What I'm pretty sure is not commonly thought of, however, is a Spider-Man prose novel, which is exactly what this is, alongside being a prequel tie-in to the really-rather-enjoyable 2018 PS4 game.

That game - and, by extension - this novel, sees Peter Parker roughly already 7 or 8 years into his career as Spider-man, with the novel serving to set up the entry levels into the game in which (no spoilers) Spider-Man takes on Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin of Crime, and showing how he got to have his contact in the police force Yuri Wattanabe (sp?)

Some people paint houses. Some people paint our screens with incredible performances. I have been looking forward to seeing The Irishman all year and it was even better than I could have hoped for; what a story. Not sure which excited me more, just seeing Pesci back on the screen, De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci all together on screen, or Scorcese back behind the camera(even if I disagree with his opinion on Marvel movies). This movie is packing some serious heat in regards to the supporting cast as well. I was a little nervous when I heard they were using cgi aging technology, but if was very well done. The movie's run time is as long as a mid 70's Lincoln Towncar, but cruises along just as smooth, and just like Jimmy Hoffa's body the time disappears.
