Spider-man Movie Review

I'm a fan of comic books. I've read many, and I could tell you the story behind “Superman,” “Batman,” or “Spider-Man”. All of my knowledge of 'superheroes' comes from comic books, and I'd even label that knowledge exceptional. “Superman” wasn't my kind of movie, “Batman” (in his many leading actor incarnations) wasn't up my alley either, and I went into the theater for “Spider-Man” just hoping it would live up to half of its hype. Half would have been nice, but “Spider-Man” pulled off the near impossible - it lived up to a full 90% of the hoopla and was close to nudging its way 100% when it backed off just a smidge (I didn't like the costume of Spider-Man's villain the Green Goblin).

Tobey Maguire, while wildly questioned by Spidey comic book loyalists when he won the sought after role, is perfect as he brings the webslinger to life in an astounding manner. With Maguire, it's all in the eyes. He can tell a story without uttering a word. As Peter Parker, graduating high school student and the much picked upon class nerd, Maguire makes you feel every bit of ridicule he undergoes. He draws you into his world, the world where his best friend is also an outcast, the love of his life - Mary Jane - lives next door but hasn't a clue how he feels, and where he's raised in a loving home by an elderly aunt and uncle whose very embrace sets the world aright.

As the Green Goblin, Willem Dafoe has the arduous task of making a green mask emote. He does, though it might have been more frightening to see facial movements accompanying some of the Green Goblin's spoken threats. Cruising the skies on a glider - every Green Goblin's preferred mode of transportation - he destroys buildings, parade floats, and breaks up a Macy Gray concert (I'm withholding comment on why that would or would not be considered an evil thing to do).

Kirsten Dunst plays Mary Jane, the love interest of both Peter and his best friend, Harry. As MJ, Dunst does a fine job of playing the damsel in distress and an equally fine job of being the self-assured young woman. The onscreen chemistry between Dunst and Maguire is perhaps the best pairing of young actors we've seen in years.

James Franco slides into his Harry character still wearing his James Dean mask. He brings the air of the rebel to Harry, and by the end of the film, you just know the type of man Harry will grow up to become.

As the newspaper man, J. Jonah Jameson, J.K. Simmons delivers most of the film's best comedic lines. His onscreen time doesn't add up to much in comparison to the other leads, however Simmons manages to enthuse Jameson with a fully developed personality in just a matter of a few short minutes.

Director Sam Raimi has done a tremendous job of creating a movie that will appeal to a wide range of audiences. His deft touch, his ability to allow a film to unfold without rushing through the story, and his intuition on casting Tobey Maguire have made “Spider-Man” a movie that will touch your heart in one scene and knock your socks off in the next. At its core, “Spider-Man” is a sweet, romantic story enclosed in a campy, comic book wrapping. “Spider-Man's” a mix of love, wonderment, and heart-stopping action brought ever so cleverly to the screen by Raimi and his entire talented cast.. Bring on the sequels!

Marvel Masterworks The X-Men Volume 1

The original X-men from back-in-the-day are finally available for the X-men fans of today. First off, this book contains the first ten issues of the series, including individual covers, in full color on glossy stock and and hard bound. These stories (Uncanny X-men 1-10) were written in '61 and '62 by Stan Lee and drawn by the Jack Kirby, with both a forward and afterward by Stan...'nuff said. It tells the origins of the X-men (original team: Professor X, Cyclops, Beast, Angel, and Iceman), the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (Magneto, Toad, Mastermind, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver), introduces modern mainstay characters like Jean Grey, Blob, and Kazar all for the first time, and guest-stars old-school Marvel money-makers like Namor the Sub-mariner and the Avengers. New-school fans may be a bit thrown by the presence of sixties throw-back characters like the Vanisher, Unus the Utouchable, and Lucifer or the lack of explanation of Magneto's powers or his prior relationship with Xavier, but it's worth it to see the Beast and Angel before they turned blue...It is incredible to see how good the story was in the sixties, even reading it now after the year 2000.

The Dark Knight Movie Review

The Dark Knight is a brilliant follow-up to Batman Begins and the definitive Batman movie to date, which makes you wonder what Nolan will accomplish if he decides to do a 3rd Batman film. The Dark Knight takes place in a world where the line between good and evil is drawn in pencil. The screenwriting duo of brothers Christopher and Jonathan Nolan turned to the dark side for their 2nd Batman movie with The Joker's lunatic smile and gleefully malicious manner setting the tone for a wild romp through a world gone mad. Batman's universe is teetering on the edge and the conflicted superhero is trying to unravel the puzzle of how best to protect Gotham City while believing he's not the savior his city deserves.

The Story
Gotham City's falling to pieces and Batman is both the problem and the solution. The caped crusader has taken down a king-sized helping of bad guys, although he's not working on his own. Ordinary citizens have taken up his cause, donning their own Batman costumes and patrolling the streets. And now the mobsters left in town have joined forces in order to keep the real Batman at bay.Fortunately for Gotham City, the newly elected district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is a real hard-ass on crime. Even Batman approves of this steely-jawed White Knight, and getting the superhero's stamp of approval wasn't easy since Harvey is spending lots of time with Batman's ex, Rachel (Maggie Gyllenhaal). Rachel couldn't handle Bruce's covert nighttime activities and now keeps company with a man unafraid of the spotlight.
However, the local mob and Rachel's preference for a non-costumed boyfriend aren't Batman's biggest problems. A new villain has emerged on the scene and he's not playing by any rules. Sporting smeary clown makeup that emphasizes a smile carved into his flesh like a pumpkin on Halloween, the maniacal character known as The Joker (Heath Ledger) is ready to take over as the leader of Gotham's underworld. The Joker's single-minded in his desire to inflict pain and unmask Batman. The formidable though strictly unofficial team of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), Harvey Dent and Batman must take down this sick clown before Gotham City turns into Slaughter City.

The Cast
2005's Batman Begins introduced Christian Bale in the dual roles of Bruce Wayne and Batman, and The Dark Knight serves to cement the fact he is the perfect casting choice to shoulder the lead in the Batman film franchise. At this point Bale has to be included toward the top of the list of actors who've taken on the task of playing a superhero in a feature film. We don't see as much of Bruce the man as we do his costumed alter-ego, which means Bale has an even more difficult task of bringing out the human behind the superhero this time around. Even though the redesigned batsuit allows him a little more freedom of movement, Bale's expressive face is covered beneath a bat mask. Yet he's able to convey everything he needs to with just the lower portion of his face, piercing eyes, and menacing voice. Bale is Batman. Period.
No disrespect meant to Jack Nicholson but this is the performance of The Joker everyone will remember. Nicholson's Joker in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman fit perfectly with the tone of that movie. In The Dark Knight, it's Ledger's Joker the rest of the cast needs to keep step with. This Joker is a nasty-scary, greasy, grotesque creature. Even those not given to fearing clowns are going to recoil in fright from Ledger's mesmerizing performance.
Ledger came up with a series of tics - licking his lips, sucking on his cheeks, carrying his entire body in an off-kilter way - to define the character of The Joker. He also created a voice and manner of speaking that's inimitable and perfect for a homicidal maniac who gets off terrorizing his victims. Ledger will long be remembered for bringing to life one of the best villains ever in a comic book-inspired movie. With his last completed performance before his untimely death, Ledger left behind a Joker who's one of the most disturbing villains on film.
Aaron Eckhart's movie star good looks fit snugly with his character DA Harvey Dent. Eckhart nails the part of a knight in shining armor come to slay the dragon and save his city and his fair princess. Although his performance isn't garnering the attention of Ledger's, it is nearly as impressive. Dent's a major player in The Dark Knight, and if Eckhart weren't believable, then The Dark Knight would suffer greatly. Eckhart knows how to wrestle his way through playing morally conflicted characters and does so again with gusto as Harvey Dent.
Supporting players Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine are a joy to watch in their limited time onscreen. The same goes for Maggie Gyllenhaal who takes over the part of Bruce Wayne's ex from Katie Holmes. Gyllenhaal's a wise choice to step into the role which seemed a little above Holmes' level of maturity in Batman Begins. Gyllenhaal plays her tough yet vulnerable, and her one scene with Ledger as The Joker shows exactly why director Nolan sought her out to be Rachel.

The Bottom Line
The Dark Knight's action sequences are controlled chaos with cars and motorcycles and Mack trucks careening down city streets, and the film's quieter moments are equally as engaging. There's just so much to say about The Dark Knight, so much I want to analyze and discuss, but expanding on a review of the plot would lay out potential spoilers and it's best to go into the film without any knowledge of the storyline other than the bare minimum. Nolan and company have surpassed what they accomplished the first time out, and The Dark Knight is everything you'd want from a superhero movie and much, much more.GRADE: A

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol. 1 Review

Legendary, magical, superb... whatever you call it, this book is worth every penny.

July 18, 2006 - If a series is lucky, it is blessed with a magical run. These runs define the book and the characters for years, perhaps even decades to come. Marvel's Uncanny X-Men had such a stroke of luck when Chris Claremont came on board. With Dave Cockrum and John Byrne at his side, Claremont not only revived a title from the brink of extinction, he propelled it to the top of Marvel's properties. The first Uncanny X-Men Omnibus takes readers on that journey, starting with Giant-Size X-Men #1 special and the following 30+ issues of the ongoing series. Reading this series not only clearly demonstrates the talent of all those involved, but also manages to illustrate in no uncertain terms what makes the X-Men so compelling.

When Chris Claremont stepped on board X-Men it had just been authorized for fresh content. The series had not been selling well enough to justify new stories, and by some stroke of luck had not been outright cancelled. Launching with a 64-page special and moving into a bi-monthly schedule, Marvel wanted to prove to readers that these mutants were worth an investment.

Giant-Size X-Men #1 rapidly established a number of characters. Older characters such as Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Sunfire and Banshee also returned to the title. Len Wein (writer of Giant as well as the plotter of the first two new issues of Uncanny), with artist Dave Cockrum, developed a new team and several new characters. Wolverine was introduced from the pages of The Incredible Hulk. New characters included Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm and Thunderbird.

Giant-Size represents a passing of the torch of sorts. Older X-Men including Angel, Iceman, Jean Grey, Havok and Polaris were present in the story, but opt out of participating in the new roster as of issue #94. Wein clearly wanted to show that this team, aside from the established leadership (Cyclops and Professor X), was different and fresh. He also wanted to increase the stakes and make these adventures seem serious.

Aside from Jean Grey being inserted rather abruptly, the permanent roster is Cyclops, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Banshee, Storm and Wolverine. This is a fairly novel concept to fans of the modern series, where rosters, and creative teams, seem to change every year. Within the first few issues, Wein set the tone; Claremont picked up the ball and ran it to places that no one expected.

Claremont received writing credits starting with issue #94. He quickly began to flesh out the team, focusing on each character, making them distinct. Unlike so many modern interpretations of the character, Storm acted like a goddess in these early days, frequently reminiscing about her time in Africa as well as American customs she found to be confining. Colossus was another character who missed his homeland, and wanted to rejoin his family. Claremont not only inserted angst into his characters, but was careful to create a sense of continuity - characters with personal problems (Cyclops and Banshee were also frequent victims of their emotions) oftentimes performed poorly in battle. Claremont was careful to create a sense of balance. No character ever seemed too feeble or worthless; everyone had their moments of fame. Characters were also cleverly manipulated to keep things interesting. The group is split into different pairings and various characters move in and out of psychological and physical pain, affecting not only the tone of the book but how the team dynamic works.It is interesting to note that Wolverine was clearly not the blockbuster star that he is today. Claremont understood that a personality like Wolverine was best used in moderation. Wolverine was not everywhere, and did not dominate the team or every scene. Over the course of the 40 issues Wolverine's antics increased with his strength, but he was no more important than any other team member. At this point there was little mention of Weapon X or even a healing factor. How times have changed.

Most of the stories contained in the Omnibus are excellent, but all are good. The Phoenix saga is being constantly worked. Black Tom is hinted towards several issues before his debut. The Hellfire Club is also a group that is gradually introduced. These villains are far more effective and ominous because they don't appear out of nowhere. There is a sense of familiarity with motive and character by the time a new villain arrives. It's a very effective tool and Claremont is very efficient with it.

Transformers Movie Review

There have been three main publishers of the comic book series bearing the name Transformers based on the toy lines of the same name. The first series was produced by Marvel Comics from 1984 to 1991, which ran for 80 issues and produced four spin-off miniseries. This was followed by a second volume entitled Transformers: Generation 2, which ran for 12 issues starting in 1993. The second major series was produced by Dreamwave Productions from 2002 to 2004 with multiple limited series as well, and within multiple story continuities, until the company became bankrupt in 2005. The third series is currently being produced by IDW Publishing starting with an issue #0 in October 2005 and a regular series starting in January 2006. There are also several limited series being produced by IDW as well.In addition to these three main publishers, there have also been several other smaller publishers with varying degrees of success.

Finally, the hype surrounding one of this summer’s big releases is justified. Transformers delivers the thrills we’ve been waiting for all year long and love him or hate him, director Michael Bay pulls off something films with bigger budgets and more stars couldn’t accomplish. Transformers is the over-the-top slam-bam action dramedy that almost single-handedly redeems the 2007 summer blockbuster season.

Based on a line of Hasbro toys, Transformers puts the fun back into moviegoing, blending comedy with the robot action and adding a dash of romance. Smartly cast with awe-inspiring special effects, Bay and company have created more than just a movie. The idea of robots battling each other with the future of mankind hanging in the balance almost seems plausible because of how ingeniously the make believe world of Autobots and Decepticons has been brought to life in Transformers.

Following a brief bit of narration in which the backstory of the Autobots and Decepticons is revealed, Transformers focuses on the story of high school student Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and his desire to own a car. Sam’s dad has promised he’ll help buy him his first car if he can raise some cash on his own and if he delivers on his report card. Sam's even resorts to using eBay to try to sell some of his great-great-grandfather’s possessions which the famous explorer used while making an important discovery in the Artic.

The Autobots (the good guys) are led by Optimus Prime (voiced by none other than Peter Cullen). Sam’s initial suspicion that there’s something fishy about his Camaro are confirmed when the car displays a mind of its own by choosing only to play ‘love’ songs after Sam offers shapely beauty Mikaela (Megan Fox) a ride. That act of intelligence is followed up shortly by the Camaro transforming into a gigantic yellow robot (the Autobot Bumblebee). It seems Sam’s great-great-grandfather’s glasses hold the key to the location of an item that both the Autobots and the evil Decepticons (the bad guys) want to get their mechanical hands on. Sam's use of eBay to sell the glasses has alerted the robots to his whereabouts and thus turned him into a major player in their robot war. Meanwhile the United States military is drawn into the battle after their base in Qatar is attacked by a helicopter that shape-shifts into a super nasty robot. Further attacks on the military and civilians, along with an infiltration into Air Force One’s computer system, convince military intelligence and the Secretary of Defense John Keller (Jon Voight) that there’s more going on than meets the eye. The military readies to go into battle against an enemy they’ve never seen before and one they have no idea how to crush. Everything comes to a head as Sam, Mikaela, the US military and the Autobots face down Megatron (voiced by Hugo Weaving) and the Decepticons.

The Cast
Shia LaBeouf can carry a film. LaBeouf’s comic timing is impeccable and even his delivery of the more serious lines of dialogue is believable. LaBeouf’s appealing without being a pretty boy and he’s the glue that holds the entire film together.Megan Fox hangs in there during the action scenes although it’s evident the foremost reason she was cast was because she’s gorgeous. Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson play Army Rangers who survive the initial attack in Qatar and who help lead the charge against the Decepticons.John Turturro’s funny as a federal agent who knows more about the robots than anyone on the planet due to a secret government project he’s been involved with called Sector 7. And Jon Voight adds a certain gravitas to the production by playing it totally straight.

The Bottom Line
The fast-paced action leaves you without a second to catch your breath and longing for a remote control to rewind and slow down the fights and transformations. There’s so much going on and Bay doesn’t let up once the film enters the third act. But even if you can’t tell exactly what’s going on, it’s incredibly entertaining to watch. The wizards at ILM worked their magic in new and astonishing ways and the result is a film in which huge robots have their own distinct personalities. If it weren’t for their bulky metallic frames, these robots would almost seem human.First and foremost Transformers is an action film, but it’s also surprisingly touching and uplifting. The sides are clearly defined and the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons will leave you drained but cheering.

Wolverine: The Hot Commodity

Wolverine is a superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel. The character first appeared in Incredible Hulk #180 (October 1974) and was created by writer Len Wein. Wolverine later joined the X-Men's "All New, All Different" roster in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975). X-Men writer Chris Claremont played a significant role in the character's subsequent development as well as artist/writer John Byrne, who insisted on making the character older than the other X-Men.
Artist Frank Miller collaborated with Claremont and helped to revise the character with a four-part limited series with Wolverine's catch phrase, "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do isn't very nice."Born James Howlett and commonly known as Logan, Wolverine is a mutant, possessing animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, retracting bone claws, and a healing factor that allows him to quickly recover from any wound, disease or toxin, also enabling him to live beyond a normal human lifespan. This healing ability enabled the supersoldier program Weapon X to bond the indestructible metal alloy adamantium to his skeleton and claws without risk of killing him. Wolverine was tough, his willingness to use deadly force and his brooding nature became standard characteristics for comic book anti-heroes by the end of the 1980s. As a result, the character became the clear favorite for fans of the increasingly popular X-Men franchise. Wolverine has been featured in his own solo comic since 1988 and has been a central character in every X-Men adaptation, including the live-action 20th Century Fox X-Me film series, in which he is portrayed by Hugh Jackman.

In May 2008, Wolverine was ranked #1 out of "Wizard Magazine's Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time" .

Wolverine is a decent movie. It is worth the price of admission and the 2 hours of screen time. The movie works well as a prequel of the events of the X-Men movies. However, to enjoy the movie, one must suspend knowledge of the comic book material. The movie was made for the average movie-goer and a little for the ultra hardcore X-Men comic book reader. The story has everything anyone could want: family, a little romance, love, comedy, revenge and plenty of action.
