The Spider-man Far From Home Experience Was Spectacular then Amazing



In the theater I attended with a few friends, we all had a good time, we sat together, we spoke to each other while we waited for the movie to start and just speculated. The crowd was exactly what you want for a movie like this. You had excitement, you had people speculating what's going to happen as far as box office. I have my thoughts going into the movie and I have some differences after I left and I'll go into that a little bit later. I want to let you know that this is going to be a non-spoiler review. Later, after the film is released I will talk more in depth and post an ending revealed, everything you want to know all spoiler heavy review. So no spoilers right now. 

Spider-man: Far From Home had the feels. It was like no other spider-man. I probably felt the way I felt as a twenty two year old young man when the first Spider Man came out and then again with its sequel. The same kind of feelings that was elevated then came back again. It was a combination of those two movies as far as the excitement and the hype because this was the sequel. Tom Holland, as we all know, has been doing an outstanding job as a spider-man. He's been crushing it and I think he needs to be recognized for that ever since Homecoming ever and since Civil War he's been crushing it as Peter Parker and as our latest spider-man.

This one was more of an emotional tearjerker, gut wrenching roller coaster. Our hero asking himself “how can I be the Next Iron Man” and “how am I going to live up to that much pressure” Getting bitten by a
radioactive spider and becoming a hero and being worried about becoming an Avenger, now that he is an Avenger its “can I live up to the legacy of Iron Man”. Now he has to live up to these expectations with the world watching and looming around. He wanted to be Peter Parker more than anything else and take a mental break from Spider-man. Not that he wanted to give up on everything and everybody, it was that this is starting to become too much and I just want to just reset, re-calibrate and reconfigure things. Just like Homecoming, the questions came up again, why can't you just be a friendly neighborhood spider-man That's what Iron man wanted for him and he really tries to reach. After being snapped and brought back, he had to fight this Titan and do this insta-kill madness during Endgame and now he just wants to  relax.

Homecoming was compared to like Ferris Bueller. The thing I felt Far From Home gave us, with the traveling, going from place to place kind of reminded me of the National Lampoon's European vacation film. One thing that popped into my head when I watched this movie was how it felt good, it just really felt good.  it was what people say is a feel-good movie and yes and it wasn't just a feel-good movie it felt good watching this movie. Iit felt really good sitting there.  I could not contain myself at times, I just had to applaud at least four or five moments in this movie. 

Jake Gyllenhaal really brought it coming in as the hero to help out S.H.E.I.L.D. being stranded from his dimension. Having a rip in the fabric of space/time, so we have a guy from alternative world helping out and playing the part of the hero. The dynamic between Spider-Man and the Mysterio character Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Holland, it reminded me a lot of the banter and the back and forth with Iron Man. Tom Cruise was thought to be Iron Man but I could see if it was done a little bit differently a younger Iron Man in a Jake Gyllenhaal.  I think he could have been a good Iron Man. Who knows if we ever reboot this whole thing maybe he could be the next Iron Man. 

Zendaya, the thing I loved about her is that she was still the same character from homecoming. Kind of deep, she's kind of dark and she has to put her defenses up and she's a very smart girl but people don’t know how to take her sense of humor and her style and you felt that in homecoming. so you can tell there were walls that are just up with her and the thing I love about this movie is they start to come down. Tom and her are dating in real life and here, you can tell you can feel it in their interactions. Jacob Bertolon he even funnier than he was in part as the guy in the chair. He was a delight and he really brought it home more than once in every scene he was in he instantly crushed and and he really added to that feel good, good feelings good vibes to the movie. 

Samuel l. Jackson, people didn't know how to take his more upbeat side in a younger version of Nick Fury in Captain Marvel. In the trailer when he says “bitch please, you've been to space” it's just his is straightforward no nonsense approach that was what was needed, that's something that was missing in this movie. You got a lot of people that helped shape the Iron Man character and the supporting characters that really helped Robert Downey jr. make that character what it is today. I feel that same thing is happening for Tom Holland and how he's shaping up and I think Samuel Jackson really did a good number and did a lot of favors in his performance and that just like he did for Robert Downey jr. In the development of what and who this character is and can be and I feel like that was done properly.

Was better or then homecoming or not? We went straight for the kill, we went to straight to is it better than
spider-man 2, is it better than the spider-verse? these are the lines right now and that's probably going to be your my your top three as far as spider-man movies. What they did with the special effects with Mysterio and
with everything going on it was more than incredible it was downright just impossible on a budget that they had. It wasn't on the level of like the Avengers infinity wars or Endgame but it was so damn close it was right
there. I would say an infinity, Endgame and then this as far as special effects wise.

Let me know if you guys have already seen the movie. if you can't wait to see the movie, what your thoughts are on it? please if you have seen the movies don't spoil it but if you want to talk about it directly with me just email me let me know what you guys think and until next time guys.

Dark Phoenix: The X-Men Franchises Last Stand With 20th Century Fox

As a long time fan of the 20th Century Fox Marvel franchise of the X-Men movies. From the beginning, the first thing you heard in 2000 was Mutant. Ever since there has been deep character development, extremely wonderful special effects, a few dude tear moments and a bit of cheesiness. Over all, from Logan to Days of Futures Past, we've been given quality. Now that Disney has purchased Fox and is set to bring the heroic mutant team and all that is tagged in their universe along with the MCU proper. Fox's final project before the acquisition is Dark Phoenix, the next and last installment after X-Men First Class, Days of Futures Past, and Apocalypse.

The embargo for this is set to lift at midnight of the 5th of June, a day before world wide release and the early critic reviews were not so good. Though I went into a press screening with this being where the bar is set, I came out with a lot of enjoyment from the film. First, I was set to believe, and the trailers game me nothing else to go with, that this was going to be a carbon copy of The Last Stand. The film that was the reason for retooling the franchise in the first place. From Magneto fighting in and with a Subway car, to Phoenix looking as if she would kill a member of her team, I was going in with some pretty low expectations. What we got was a villain, lead by Jessica Chastain, that reminded me of the Skrulls in Captain Marvel but done with extreme superiority. The way these alien forces moved and fought felt like a World War Z set to Mutants film.


The overall dilemma given to the X-Men was Charles Xaivier's (James McAvoy) ego. This was a unique way to go, never really been done before but when you have the most powerful being in the universe to deal with, the under toned messaging just felt out of place. My overall impression was that this director was going in hard with something to prove and what he wanted to do was out do all of the previous films in the action and suspense department. I'll admit, in a lot of ways, this was done brilliantly and in others it was piss poor. Being in a world where mutants are hated by people and having military sent to take them get put into situations where they are being taken out by a greater threat and witness the mutants take them on with more ease totally owning the situation like true superior heroes.

I would call this similar to The Last Stand in a lot of ways but done right. I was worried about the alien invasion aspect but even that was done better than most alien invader movies. It was very cloak and daggerish and stayed hidden for the most part. Made for a better story and I like this film better than a lot in the franchise and would rank it as such. X-Men because that film was a huge mystery and super fun suprise in the theater, X2 because it was done even better but the original still set the foundation, Days of Futures Past because we got to see Wolverine interact with members of the teams from both versions of the timeline, Dark Phoenix because it was better than expected and took risks than none of the others did (redeeming the Last Stand) and First Class.

Apocalypse is better than Last Stand but I'm not itching to see any of them again. The former before the ladder if I had nothing else to watch but the films in my top 5 I can watch over and over. By the way, speaking of taking chances and trying to surpass previous films, Nightcrawler. He has a moment that reminded me of the opening of X2 and boy did he do us justice.

I do not know if this was because we know that Disney was going to take over the franchise and reboot it or because it was a press release but we saw no after credit scene. Also, if you're asking about the end credit scene from Apocalypse and wondering about this movie, don't hold your breath. What you saw in the trailers is what you're going to get and it was still a thrill ride that got me pumped. I'll admit, if I didn't know that this was the last time these particular X-Men would be on the screen I would have been more excited. I celebrate how good it was but I kept myself from going bonkers because the whole time it loomed overhead that these guys, more than likely won't come back, so I kept it cool. A few cliffhangers left out there, somethings that made me roll my eyes, like the simi-batphone. . .come on.

You'll have fun. Go see it. Its got more good and exciting things in this one than in any most of the films out this year. I believe people are just ready to see what the MCU is going to do with these characters and that feeling was with me before the movie started, disappeared as I watched but slowly returned as I walked out of the theater.

3 Billion Box Office: How Spider-man Far From Home Will Boost Endgame Like Endgame Did For Cpt Marvel

They say "The bigger they are, the harder they fall". Avatar and Titanic were two of James Cameron's heaviest hitters for the box office. For two decades Titanic has held the top two positions for twenty years. When Avatar took the top spot it was by an amount unimaginable. Seemed untouchable until the MCU took shape. 

Here is the real reason Avatar became vulnerable. 

The power of the Avatar franchise was in danger with every delay of its sequel. The year Avatar came out all the kids were dressed up as characters from the movie for Halloween. The following year, the number of costumes declined dramatically. The year following, it was none existent. Then came the fist announcement of the fist delay of Avatar 2. Since then we were blessed with our first Avengers film, Man of Steel and rise in horror. How was it handled by the man? We were given yet another delay. Why James, Why? Well, he tells us that the technology isn't here yet. Avatar two will take place primarily underwater. Maybe we're getting a new race of Na'vi. The more time that goes by the shorter my memory gets. To be honest I lose more interest in the film over all. Its not that I don't believe that his vision needs to come to life the way Cameron wants it too, its just that I feel that the delay is not as necessary as he believes it is. 

Its his franchise though so I put it in the hands of the genius himself. If he were to ask me, I'd tell him that a whole generation of kids have been born and are being taken to the theaters to see films that have not even seen Avatar yet. Since Iron-man, Marvel Studios have been consistent in bringing quality films to life on time and on schedule. The fan base is strong, its loyal and is growing. The stories build and connect. With every cinematic universe film that comes out is another missed opportunity. 

George Lucas new technology was not where it was needed to be to make episode one so we got episode four with a great story and the rest is history. Maybe if James stuck with his timeline the technology would not have been where he wanted it to be but Avatar 2 coming off of part one would have made over a billion probably two billion short of guaranteed with the power of momentum and a great story behind it. If by the third film or even the fourth film the technology was not exactly where he wanted it to be, it would be there eventually. Probably by the fourth or fifth installment we finally got where we wanted to be technologically wise it would have made an epic finale. Just like with what happened with Endgame. 

Now we're not expected to see Avatar 2 till 2021. I'm putting my money on 2022 which means I'l be pushing my 50's by the time this franchise ends. I was in my 20's when it began. Now the world of movie goers and Marvel film fans have begun to assemble to make Avengers Endgame the number one box office film of all time. I was skeptical until AMC theaters started to show films round the clock. This countered the theory that the movie was too long to beat Avatar. It made Endgame have the biggest opening weekend in history. An accomplishment that probably will never be matched or beaten. 

The road to 3 billion was my hope. I would still hold on to this hope until the third weekend. Endgame has only been out, at this point, for three weeks and beginning the fourth weekend and has started to lose steam. I said, that if the movie hits 2.5 billion before the end of May it was a lock for the top stop and 3 billion. I mean, movies tend to stay in theaters for four or more months on average but we are headed to the summer and the majority of average fans and fanatics have already seen it multiple times. The number of people who have not seen it and plan too is shrinking. Another Two hundred million world wide before the end of its run seems likely, 3 Billion target does not.

The Captain Marvel Miracle

Here is where the hunt for a 3 billion dollar box open is still viable. By the time Endgame came around, captain Marvel survived the trolls and hit over a billion dollars in the box office. When Endgame had its monster debut Captain Marvel came from out of the top five back to second place. Why is this, marathon mode my friends. People will go the movies to see the previous marvel film just before the next in order to add to the experience. I believe this will happen again with Spider-Man Far From Home. People who have seen Endgame will defiantly see it again just before they see spider-man. The only questions will Endgame surpass Avatar before or after Spider-Man is released. 


If Avengers Endgame catches Avatar before the end of May or by the middle of June, the chances of reaching 3 billion dollars becomes extremely realistic. Overall, if Avengers needs Spider-man to catch Avatar it will probably not reach the goal. If it doesn't the goal for 3 billion is very possible and I will be pulling for it. I want to see the movie in 3D. I've already seen it in Dolby and IMAX.

The Girl Power Moments In Avengers Endgame

Before we go any further I guess we have to say for the few people who have not seen Avengers Endgame, spoiler alert, this article contains pictures and stories from the film that may spoil the ending or plot for those who have not yet seen the film. These are my favorite moments in the fight to save the world. 

The Power Of Captain Marvel

To me this moment was extra juicy because it was a shot over the trolls bridges. The ones who spread the lies about Brie Larson regarding making movie marketing campaigns more inclusive. People like Mecharandom42 who are, not only obsessed with Brie Larson, but knowingly obsessed and using it to their advantage to make money on YouTube and Patreon. I don't mind it when YouTubers use their platform to earn, hell, give me some money but when you're telling the same joke over and over again. Not only will I refuse to pay for tickets to the show but I damn sure won't laugh at a joke I've heard them say umpteen times. This is why the shear power of Captain Marvel, handling Thanos and withstanding a super head butt to the face like a boss was to me a metaphor to the trolls. The look on her face, since a lot of them want to overly read into every little thing, too me said, "You'll have to do better than that Mecharandom42 who ever you are.


United We Stand
You know that a party is about to turn up when all the ladies walk in the room. When all of the girls began to sink up with Valkyrie in the background all looking like pissed off bosses who didn't make their quarterly earnings, I gleefully leaned over to my fiance and said "Gurl Power! Gurl Power!" I could feel the moment and knew it was a statement to the world, one saying "Times Up" and "Its our turn now" but I still loved it. I get a kick out of all the trolls, even the female ones who complain about it. I laugh when they say, "Okay, we have seen this with all or majorities males all the time but this was obvious". Yes, I agree, and sometimes its obvious when its all guys but its happened so often that we are numb to it. If it happens for powerful women more eventually it will become the norm and won't feel like a stunt. There will never be a day when a line up of powerful men will ever feel forced. So relax trolls. Especially the female trolls, I mean, who are you really trying to impress?



Gwyneth to the Rescue

Seeing her wear the suit temporarily in Iron man 3 was a joy but seeing her in full action made so much sense. Living with Tony Stark, surviving the snap and not settling to be the rescued but the rescuer makes sense when you have a new born daughter in a new world.

Her fighting skills, style and fortitude and the look in her eyes said it all. Never again.

Hi Peter Parker, You Got Something For Me?

This just made me want to see Captain Marvel be featured in an upcoming Spider-man film. If Peter has to go to space again I think the sense of humors from both Marvel and Parker would work hand and hand. Its no coincidence that in the latest trailer for Far From Home Marvel was requested by Parker to help when speaking to Fury. 

The moment when Thanos' ship opened fire into space for seeming no reason I knew a galactic butt whooping was inevitable.

Why Was She Up There This Whole Time
Lets just let this moment sink in  a bit. Scarlet Witch can beat Thanos. By herself. Needed no help. Almost did if he didn't cheat and made it rain hell fire.

You took everything from me. Even my life. Now I return the favor would have been a great way to put it to him. I don't think he would have come back with that "I don't even know you" line.




 If Thanos Had These Ladies As His Daughter We Would Not Have Had Chance. I'm sure somewhere Thanos is thinking of this simple truth. "Why did I go for Nebula when I could have had a Witch".

Now that Nebula and Gamora are back in the mix, what I'm looking forward to is how Gunn handles the third installment of the Guardians franchise.

Fans looking forward to Dark Phoenix or what Disney will do in the franchise?



Now that the final trailer has been revealed it more appear ant that people are becoming more engaged with the final film in the long running X-Men Franchise. I covered the review and reaction of the final trailer with Jason Bell in studio with the permission of the marketing team hired by Marvel Entertainment. Partially to see if  I would be flagged on YouTube but that's only a red haring. Lets talk about the real topic. Are people looking forward to X-Men Dark Phoenix or what Disney will do in the future?

Going into the trailer people are not completely sure what they are seeing as far as story telling. The questions of who will die, if any, in this film and the comparisons to X-Men The Last Stand. Between DP and TLS from the trailer alone such as a major character will be killed. Even having the fight happen in a suburb neighborhood. If they use the same clip with Stan Lee i would enjoy it but we know that won't happen since the last cameo is set for Endgame. there is also a subway train scene just like the last stand. The only thing different this time is that the Phoenix is coming from space.

Are we just bypassing this film in hopes to see what Marvel Studios will do with the franchise? Well, people will have a long time to wait, maybe three to five years according to the Executive Producer of Marvel Studios Kevin Fiegi and that is at the least. It is possible that we could see a cameo happen but in 2019 that will not be likely. This is it for the X-Men franchise, Fox style, Disney is now at the wheel. I believe we can have a hit on our hands because of the fact that people are still all excited about the films that have come before it. I am looking to see how the series rounds out, what Marvel will do in the future and if there is any chance of a Storm and Black Panther wedding in the future.

Proof Critics Are Bias For Marvel Over DC Movies?



You've seen it and hated them. You've seen it and loved them. Movies have had their ups and downs. Usually we give them a fair shake. Today we're so ready for war, we're ready to defend a genre or particular cinematic universe from harsh criticism before confirming if we agree with the assessment.

We're rooting for a films success but attach people who have a bad reaction to it. Its like telling a person who is sewing a restaurant for food poisoning, saying they don't know what their talking about and the victim is bias for other food places. This before the angry party has even tried the food or the restaurant themselves. It just makes no sense.

Yes critics are bias. The definition is rooted in the opinion of the individual. Your reaction or opinion to a movie is all your own, it belongs to no one else. So by the term, a opinion is always bias. But what the fanboys are saying is that the bias isn't for their own opinion its a preemptive bias that is prejudice against the competition. DC comics/Warner Brothers cinematic universe has its ups and downs. Since the Man of Steel to Batman VS Superman. Suicide Squad was to be the first complete hit. But when mix reviews came in from advance screenings and Rotten Tomatoes gives it an extremely bad score. Fanboys petition the site be such down.

This argument will go nowhere. If DC fanboys want to call bias by pointing a light to their own, this argument will go nowhere. Because I'm sure those guys are going to see Marvel films. I believe Marvel fanboys are seeing the DC films. Its the regular viewer they should be worried about. A small number may be influenced by bad reviews but the majority will more likely be

Michael Steel said it best just a moment ago on MSNBC regarding the election polls but I think it fits. Its the focus on the crowd in front of you (fellow DC fanboys) instead of the crowd we should be watching (regular movie goers) with the crowd that's in front of you. We feel that a movie is great because we loved it along side of our pocket of like minded fellow fanboy friends and we think that represents the whole world. It doesn't. Majority of viewers aren't reading comic books and learning about the Squad for the first time. This was the same risk Marvel had with the Guardians.

What fans are upset about is that Marvel has had time to build trust. Movies that should have been a failure, Ironman, Antman, Guardians, Captain America and Thor, were hits. and the ones that were not so well received, Ironman 2 & Thor 2 still gives Marvel a history of success over "failure". DC is just establishing their universe and both films were met with rocky starts. Not because the film was bad, that is a subjective opinion person-to-person. The problem is that Marvel had the benifit of lower expectations from fans and films like The Dark Knight (Warners) and the Avengers raising fans standards and expectations. Now that DC is starting out after those expectations have been raised they're being looked at to meet the criteria.

The uproar would imply that Marvel film makers are not equally being criticized with the same expectations. Kevin Fiege helped create the standard, so he has learned a great understanding of what the quality of his films should meet. And he does it more often than not. DC has not done this quite as well in my opinion. Though I liked all the movies so far, little things like Superman killed and the Martha/Editing stuff was uproars that DC fanboys complained about more than Marvel, in my opinion. Because they thought the films weren't being handled correctly. But now we're attacking critics. You can't call yourself a fan who's only giving constructive criticism and say that Critics are bias. Rotten Tomatoes algorithm doesn't measure constructive criticism. Okay, relax guys. What we get is what we get. Enjoy the film, if you like it spread the word. Sometimes the critics are judging on all aspects that we're not looking at. Like Lighting and editing. Sometimes us fans just want to see something explode and when it does we give it a 10 out of 10.

We must do and expect better of ourselves.

Movie News: Marisa Tomei Casted as Aunt May in Spider-Man Reboot





I'm looking forward to seeing what Marisa Tomei brings to this character. We all no that its Uncle Ben who puts together the words that carry on to Peter Parker/Spiderman for the rest of his life but its Aunt May that makes sure that Peter doesn't lose sight of that message. That Uncle Ben's spirit lives on within our hero.



Ms. Tomei is a great actress, she's beautiful and I think has the potential to bring something fresh and exciting to this role. What more can I say? I've been a huge fan since the 90's and I see a huge resemblance between Rosemary Harris, Sally Field and Tomei. If this was done on purpose or not, I see it a a great choice from Sony/Marvel. The women who have played this character have all been amazing and I'm sure Tomei will not disappoint.



Thank you Feigi.
