Sorta-watched The Amazing Spiderman and the sequel on FX while doing chores over the weekend. The first one was fine, if unnecessary and redundant, and the second was actually pretty bad. I know the stated reason for the reboot was to create a Spiderman universe series like the MCU, but the first film wasn't any better than Raimi's Spiderman film and wasn't as good as Raimi's Spiderman 2, and coming so soon after Raimi's trilogy, it felt super pointless. And the second Amazing Spiderman film was worse than any of the Raimi films. Also, the special effects they used weren't any more convincing or realistic than the ones used in the Raimi films. Basically, the Amazing films offer viewers nothing new at all, making them completely redundant. It's no wonder the Spiderman universe plan fell apart.

3rd reboot in barely over a decade and 6th movie. No matter how much I love Spiderman, it's hard to still care...

Would it help that this one is quite good? And it's got Michael Keaton?

Yeah everything I'm hearing about it does make it sound promising. I liked what I saw of this kid too in Civil War. I think I'll just wait to check this, Logan, and Wonder Woman out on video though.

Wonder Woman was pretty great, except the very end of the film and all the stuff with the villains. But meh, most superhero movie villains are the same. I have high hopes for Keaton, though.

Glory

I am not exactly enamoured by Glory, but it's a good film nonetheless. Matthew Broderick was convincing in this, but his career sadly never reached full potential.
I look at that movie as denzel's coming out party more than broderick, which I never cared for anyway. I was shown this movie in 1992 in world history class in my senior year of high school, so it sticks with me. Lots of great performances and shows life wasn't exactly easy for black folks in the north as some might assume.

Just saw WW last night, I liked it all the way through. I liked the villain stuff, but thought they were mostly just under used. Kind of reminded me of the first Captain America (which I loved). Hugo Weaving was severely under used as Red Skull.

Cyber Ninja:

Take the story Star Wars, set it back in Japan, add more elements from Samurai films and Japanese mythology and shift the story to kinda be about Han Solo. Then change Storm Troopers into Mechanical Ninjas, the Deathstar into a Walking Castle, and add a Cyber Ninja that is pretty much Luke. Best $10 movie I have ever seen. NAMCOs best movie. Sadly the only available copies are VHS quality. The standalone dvd is stupid expensive, but this set has it:

Is full of great Raizo Ichikawa films

This is like the poor man's early rough draft of Last of Us or something haha.

Worth it to see Arnold take on a different kind of role, more serious and dramatic, he was awesome. Great cinematography and atmosphere, but otherwise it's not too interesting and even at 90 minutes I was droning out towards the end. Never really goes anywhere and is just depressing.
