I still can’t understand why this movie copped so much hate. I’ve always been a fan of the original Spider-Man trilogy with Tobey Maguire, but this movie shows the perfect representation of what Spider-Man should be. Let’s start off with the backstory, we finally get to see what happened to Peters parents unlike what we saw with Tobey and Tom. It was always only Uncle Ben and Aunt May, but we got a little input on the real parents of Peter and the storyline wouldn’t be the same without them in it. It explains it all very well in this film not like the first TASM film. Now the good stuff… The opening scene where it shows Spider-Man falling through the city of New York is an absolute masterpiece. The way he swings, moves and flips in the air as he’s chasing that truck down is phenomenal, not to mention the cheeky personality that Spider-Man always had. The scene with Electro vs Spider-Man in Times Square, probably has to be up there with one of the best superhero fight scenes ever. So much raw action and to think they almost topped that scene off at the power grid scene when they fight again. The special effects, the sounds it’s just insanely amazing. Then as soon as Electro is defeated to see Goblin come in was crazy and really shows the emotions of each character towards the end. Pros: - Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man is my favorite Spiderman and probably the best if your a spidey fan. - Jamie Foxx as Electro was incredible, the sound effect over he’s voice suited the character so well. - The plot wasn’t insanely good but it was decent nonetheless and I’d say their wasn’t anything bad about it. - Green Goblin looked incredible as well, especially the armor he had on. - The fight scenes are amazing - And lastly Spider-Man was just hands down the best I’ve seen in any movie with Spidey. Cons: - I wish we saw the end with Rhino even if Rhino was defeated with the one hit. - Harry Osbournes character development throughout the movie wasn’t awful but wasn’t great, nothing like James Franco’s who was arguably the best character in the older trilogy. And the biggest con of all THEY DIDNT RELEASE A NUMBER 3!!!! To summarize this movie was just ridiculously and annoyingly underrated. It copped a lot of hate for no reason other than petty reasons. If you haven’t seen it’s 100% worth the watch and if your a fan of Tom Holland, you won’t be disappointed with Andrew Garfields performance

I started on 2k20 as then I was looking for a game that would get me off Fifa as much as I love Fifa the new ones coming out are getting very cheesy. So I resulted to 2k and I was not disappointed I thoroughly enjoyed 2k20 even though it was different to what I was used to but I wasn’t half bad at the game. As time went on and 2k21 came out and after such a successful year I decided to give it another go and again I wasn’t disappointed with the design of the game, it had flaws compared to 2k20 it was a lot harder to shoot and I couldn’t get used to it as much but I was still enjoying my time on 2k. Now onto 2k22. Again it’s a great game, I love the mycareer character building and the park, but getting a good enough build required so much VC compared to the other ones I played and grinding the NBA season gets very repetitive and boring. I’ve always had issues bumping into squads that are just majorly over powered, you can tell they have been playing for yearsss, but it came occasional on the other 2k games I played except for this year.. I fully disagree with the matchmaking system, season 2 only just arrived today and I’m already playing people that are almost level 30, it’s impossible to find people on the same skill level as I am. All my friends that I used to play with moved onto next gen and as I can’t afford a new console I’m stuck on current gen and I’m having an awful experience this year. I uninstalled the game as a matter of fact because I just keep losing and keep versing sweaty players. It’s not the fun game I used to play at all. I consider myself a very good Fifa player, I have been playing it for years on end and I was looking for a replacement because I’m not happy with what the game is becoming, and to calm my temperament of the pure AIDS in the game. By any means I am not dissing 2ks gameplay I do enjoy it, it’s just so unfair I keep coming up against people who literally don’t sleep because they keep playing 2k and I’m not sure what more I can do to have fun. Ive tried the Rec, and again I’m either versing a squad of 4 or 5 that would prefer not to play PRO AM, or I’m not getting passed the ball at all. Again I am not a bad player, I’m not blaming the game, I’m purely blaming how toxic the people are that play it and won’t give newish comers to the game like me a chance to enjoy it. So as much as I rate the gameplay, I will not be purchasing another 2k game until there is some sort of matchmaking system that makes it an even skill based game. Losing a game or 2 isn’t my issue. Losing constantly and consistently to a bunch of high overalls and high levels all the time is my issue. It’s unfair and not enjoyable. I message a fair few of the people I verse and ask them why they’ve got to play like they’re life is on the line and they always reply “maybe you should just get good” it’s almost impossible to get better when I’m always versing people that are already 10x better than me. If you’re going to play your first 2k there’s no point in even playing it by yourself. To summarize: 1 star for the quality of the game, the detailing of the courts and the map in general is quite spectacular 1 star for the gameplay, every game has its flaws and glitches but overall there’s nothing completely wrong with the gameplay -3 stars because of how unfair the matchmaking is, the progression system and the lack of features in mycareer that make it fun and enjoyable. Overall, just let the 2k players keep playing don’t bother wasting your money

One thing I learnt before watching this film. DO NOT LISTEN TO CRITICS! It wasn’t perfect but it was well done. I thought Leto was amazing and this character is definitely the touch he needs. It wasn’t dark or scary but it was full of violence and desperation. The reason why I rate a 3 is because the CGI is way too over the top for its own good, some of the fights were hard to keep up with. The story telling at the start was a bit hard to focus on until midway through the movie. Some of the characters were a bit hard to follow like the detectives. The main characters were incredible though, the end credit scene opened up so much to what I hope is Andrews Spider-Man universe and a lot is yet to be explained! I can see why this movie was made and I’m sure Sony aren’t surprised with the feedback, because they’re introducing a new character to understand a story. Marvel are still developing the universe a lot and this direction they’re going is interesting but if it works I won’t be disappointed. Key words: IF IT WORKS. Don’t let us down Sony 🤞
