Review in Brief: Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

Posted on December 16, 2021 by Sam S-P

Despite a few laboured franchise references and a script that’s not always firing on all cylinders, SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME serves as a crowd-pleasing and fittingly ambitious third part of the Jon Watts/Tom Holland trilogy. Peter’s (Holland) secret identity has … Continue reading →

SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE is awesome. An awesome animated feature, an awesome superhero movie, an awesome coming-of-age story, an awesome film. Did I mention it was awesome? When a extra-dimensional portal is opened in New York, recently superpowered Spider-Man Miles … Continue reading →

My First Comic Con: Manchester, July 2015

Posted on July 28, 2015 by Sam S-P

(Sadly I’m the slightly disappointing Star-Lord, not the awesome Ant-Man) This weekend I attended my first ever Comic Con. Thinking that the main event in San Diego might be a little much for a convention virgin, I and a group … Continue reading →

A Few Thoughts More: The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Posted on September 7, 2014 by Sam S-P

I hated THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 when I saw it earlier this year. I wasn’t planning on watching it again, but sometimes a movie you detest just turns up in your house and you’re strangely compelled to put them on. … Continue reading →

Series Retrospective: Marvel Cinematic Universe

Posted on September 1, 2014 by Sam S-P

Superhero Movies Before They Were Cool

Posted on May 24, 2014 by Sam S-P

Once upon a time, superhero movies were not the norm. They didn’t dominate. They certainly weren’t the most popular and profitable film genre on the planet. Hollywood had had dalliances with comic book adaptations, for sure – Christopher Reeve’s SUPERMAN … Continue reading →

My Favourite…Superhero Movie

Posted on April 6, 2014 by Sam S-P

My favourite superhero movie is X-MEN 2. It’s a bit of a tired analogy to use concerning a sequel, but it really is the EMPIRE STRIKES BACK of comic book films in that it’s bleaker (though still with welcome light … Continue reading →
