Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Review (No Spoilers)

It's safe to say that 2018 has been a good year for Spider-Man. Like a really good year! He was in Avengers: Infinity war (2018, Joe & Anthony Russo)  he had a very popular video game released on the PS4 and now he has his own animated movie. But it's also been a good year for Miles Morales, who featured in the video game and is the main character of this animated movie. With Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street)  at the helm, this should be an interesting take on the character! But will mainstream audiences be open to this different version of Spider-Man? And will audiences pay to see it as an animated movie? First Thoughts This is not just the best Spider-Man movie I have ever watched but one of the best animated movies I have ever seen. The characters are fun to watch, the art and animation are beyond stunning and it truly understands its source material. This feels like a Spider-Man comic and it's perfect! Miles Morales/Ultimat

Aquaman Review (No Spoilers)

After starring in Justice League (2017, Zack Snyder/Joss Whedon)  over a year ago, Aquaman (Jason Momoa)  is finally getting his solo movie. Many audiences seem disconcerted with this movie, due to DC's shaky track record with critics, but with director James Wan (Furious 7, The Conjuring) at the helm things could turn around for the struggling movie franchise. The trailers have advertised a truly engaging movie experience. So it's time to see if the DCEU can win back audiences that have been disillusioned by the previous movies. Initial Thoughts This movie is incredible! It's a captivating thrill ride that is one of the most faithful comic book movies I have ever seen. From the costumes to the action, this is Aquaman come to life! The action is incredible, the visuals are stunning to behold and the characters are really enjoyable to watch. This is a great movie for any audiences member. Not just Comic book/Superhero fans. Aquaman/Arthur Curry/Jason Mamoa Thi

DCEU movies: Ranked Worst to Best

Aquaman is due to hit theatres in a week. In order to celebrate its release, here is my ranking of the DCEU. The DCEU has been quite divisive with fans, with some loving it and some hating it. I find myself in the former category. I do like what the creators have done with these films (Most of the time) and I am looking forward to where the DCEU goes from here. At the moment, the DCEU has only released 5 films so this will be a ranking of them rather than a top 10 list. Just to be clear that this list is my own personal opinion and may differ from your own personal list. 5. Suicide Squad (2016, David Ayer) I'm not going to say that I hate this movie, I actually do enjoy it for what it is. However, I can't really say this is a good movie. The pacing is so fast that it's difficult to really get into the story, the dialogue is sometimes just laughable, and the action is inferior when compared to other movies in the DCEU. This was mainly down to a serious re-edit of t
