First Image from VENOM is Released
We know, it’s not much to look at. Sony has finally released a still photo for the Venom movie, courtesy of IGN. The movie will be directed by Ruben Fleischer and features Tom Hardy as the titular character. The photo shows Hardy looking at an open book. The photo is kind of bland and doesn’t reveal anything, but hopefully we’ll receive a full trailer soon. Fleischer has confirmed that the movie’s plot is inspired by the six issue miniseries Venom: Lethal Protector, which turned Venom from a villain into more of an anti-hero. The film will also star Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, and Jenny Slate. Filming for Venom is currently taking…

All Of The Spider-Man Films Ranked
Spider-Man: Homecoming in finally in theaters. In this list, we are going to see where the latest Spider-Man film stacks up against the rest. Is Holland as good as the previous Web-Heads? Does Homecoming at least pass The Amazing Spider-Man? Let’s find out! 6. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The second film in Marc Webb’s Spider-Man series is definitely the worst of the worst. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is unfocused, insanely goofy, and tries miserably to set up a universe that no one wanted to see. The film’s only saving grace is Andrew Garfield’s (Spider-Man) on Emma Stone’s (Gwen Stacy) performances. The villains are terrible and the story is convoluted. It’s…

The Rhino (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) The Rhino (Paul Giamatti) is at the bottom of this list because he’s the absolute worst. He’s loud, over-the-top, and completely useless.

Review: SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING
Spider-Man: Homecoming is a big film for the character. Spider-Man was not in a good place after The Amazing Spider-Man 2, with many (including myself) wondering how would they recover. People weren’t taking to the reboot and for good reason. On February 9th, 2015, the unthinkable happened. Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures managed to come to an agreement where both studios co-produce a Spider-Man film set in the MCU. The internet freaked out. Finally, Spider-Man can fight alongside other heroes like Iron Man and Captain America. Here we are two years later and that moment is finally here; Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Does Spider-Man: Homecoming live up to…
