Spider-Man: Homecoming is the latest reboot of the Spider-Man character and also the follow-up to his cameo in Captain America: Civil War. Tom Holland, the new Peter Parker / Spidey, made a great first impression in Civil War and he … Continue reading
So I liked Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 more than the first one… though I would understand why many wouldn’t. Now, I liked Guardians Vol 1 but I didn’t like it nearly as much as some – it was … Continue reading
