Review of The Amazing Spider-Man Movie

Hello everybody! What I am reviewing today is the newest movie that has been released from Marvel Studios: The Amazing Spider-Man. Directed by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield ( Social Network) as Spider-Man and Emma Stone ( Easy A) as Gwen Stacy. This movie is a kind of reboot of the Spider-Man universe after Sam Rami's Spider-Man trilogy. In my personal opinion this movie knocked it out of the park and I found it way more entertaining than the original trilogy. I also think that Andrew Garfield was a way better Spider-Man than Toby Maguire. ( Sorry Toby.) Emma Stone in my opinion did a great job of playing the love interest to Peter Parker. My hope for the continuation of this movie is that unlike the comic, Gwen Stacy does not die. Quick fact: In the comic, it was the classic spider-man villain the green goblin killed Gwen Stacy. My problems with the movie is that one, Uncle Ben does not say the classic line. Do I even need to say it? My other is I thought some scenes with the Lizard were a little overly played and felt a little like a horror movie from the 50's. But honestly, I think the pros out way the cons. I recommend this movie to fans of spider-man, and fans of all the marvel studios movies.

Review of Batman: Earth One

This all new graphic novel released by DC comics is nothing short of great. Done in the style of Superman: Earth One, this graphic novel takes a whole new spin on the batman legend. The book has a almost Batman Year One feel to it in the way it tells of Batman's early years, when he is not yet the master sleuth and practically unparalleled combatant. A major difference this book has to the regular continuity is Batman is not out to stop crime, in fact in the first 10 pages Batman sees and does not stop a robbery. This Batman starts off in the story only wanting to solve his parents murder, and he is convinced that the corrupt Mayor Oswald Cobblepot (That name ring any bells?) has something to do with it. But Batman is not the only character who is giving a whole new take in the book, Alfred Pennyworth is not a traditional english butler, but a hardened war veteran who is the person who trained Bruce! But no more spoilers, the rest is up to you. The book is written by Geoff Johns, and illustrated by Gary Frank who's wonderful artwork can be found in the pages of Justice League in the Shazam! backup story. Recommend for well, everybody.
