REALLY enjoyed this installment of Spidey's movie adventures! GREAT choice to re-boot the franchise and spend time focusing on the realities of Peter Parker's dual life as avenging Spidey and love-smitten high school student. Buy it, watch it and ENJOY! Excelsior, True Believers!
What's great about it: FINALLY, we get to see Gwen Stacy as an important part of Peter's life!
What's not so great: Other than the more anthropomorphic version of Lizard than appears in the comics, I can't think of much.
Deservedly viewed as one of the most critically acclaimed movies in history. This desert saga was one of the most challenging movies ever filmed. Lean's typical manic attention to every detail is put to its best use here. Maurice Jarre's beautiful score, the rarely equaled cinematography combined with superb acting and unparalleled desert scenery make this one of the true must-see cinematic experiences. Buy it. Watch it in hi-def on the biggest screen you can find and turn up the volume!
What's great about it: Beautifully translated to hi-def blu-ray. Desert vistas are restored to their proper place as co-stars of a masterpiece
Oscar front-runner for animated picture of the year! Not only amazing Pixar animation, but FINALLY a story about an empowered, if flawed and headstrong, female hero who needs no prince to save her. FUNNY and WONDERFUL!
What's great about it: Female lead is strong character who does NOT need a prince to complete her life!
