Sade Green on reboots, rebrands and remakes… There is a distinct lack of originality in the film industry at the moment. Perhaps that’s too harsh actually; there is a distinct lack of originality in Hollywood.

Binge-Watching the Spider-Man Movie Series
Henry Bevan binge-watches the Spider-Man movie series… Inspired by our viewing of Spider-Man: Homecoming, a film this website called “the best Spider-Man movie to date” and “another hit for the carefully crafted MCU”, a mate and I decided we should binge watch the previous five movies. While I’m personally conflicted about my favourite superhero’s latest […]
Ranking the Spider-Man movie villains
Ricky Church ranks the Spider-Man movie villains… Since 2001, we have been given five Spider-Man films, with the sixth – Spider-Man: Homecoming – opening in cinemas this week.

Marc Webb had some important advice for Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts
When the torch is passed from one director to another, and franchises either continue on or reboot, it can be a bit of a ceremonious process. After all, the 90+ minutes of footage we see on-screen is the culmination of years/ months of planning and hard work. Leaving a project is sure to be an […]

Stan Lee was “very unhappy” with the 1970s The Amazing Spider-Man TV show

Kirsten Dunst wishes that Spider-Man 4 happened, not a fan of Amazing reboot
Spider-Man 2 is considered by many to be one of the best comic book movies ever made. This was an era before the words “extended universes” came into vogue, and no one had ever really seen anything quite like Sam Raimi’s original trilogy. Unfortunately, Spider-Man 3 really damaged the franchise as a whole, and despite […]
