Spider Man Movie Summaries

 I am putting Spider Men movies in their own spot as for the most part they do not fit into the Marvel Universe Phases.  Four actors have portrayed Spider Man in the movies: Tobey MaGuire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland as Peter Parker' And then Shameik Moore as Miles Morales.  The Tom Holland is also found in several Avenger movies playing Spider Man including Avenger Civil War, Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame.  There are other animated carton versions available on t.v. as well.  The next version appears to be a sequel to the Spider Verse.  Should be fun.

*****Spider Man: No Way Home: Movie Review

 In my mind the movie of the year 2021.  It is the movie that made the most money, and the movie I have enjoyed the most.  The three Spider Men is just cool and brings back so many fond memories.  This is the funnest movie of 2021 and the highest grossing.  You have Spider Man (Tom Holland) interaction with Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and also interacting with MJ (Zendaya).  In addition to past Spider Man versions making an appearance; you also have the bad guys, Green Goblin, Electro, Octavius, Dr Connors/Lizard, and Sandman.  This movie is a good time.  It is no wonder it has made loads of money at the box office.  I wish the Oscars would wake up and reward the movies people like.  The only Oscar nomination is best visual effects.  The Oscars have become less relevant as they focus too much on someone's definition of woke (not mine).  But this movie has it all, nostalgia, love, heartache and action.

The King's Daughter: Movie Review

 I haven't done many movie reviews as of lat; but this movie hit me in a special way.  The major theme of the movie is science vs the clergy.  Should we let science be the controlling factor in our decisions.  He have heard Anthony Fauci say he is the science.  Somehow this puts him above everyone else; and I think he is saying that his ideas should trump all.  However this movie points out that science without ethics is doomed.  In Mr. Fauci we see evidence of this.  He has funding for the torturing of animals.  He may have funded the Chinese to take a virus and upgrade that virus.  The emails are pointing more and more towards this.  he emails also point to his using his influence to naysay those who proposed the virus came from a Chinese lab.  This now looks the most plausible cause.  Fauci's claiming he is science really irked me and it seems like a very slippery slope.

This movie is good.  Should science be allowed to kill a mermaid so as to grant immortality to the king and guarantee there will always be a strong leader.  There are lots of problem on that slope, especially when the King's daughter befriends the mermaid.
