*The Road To Spider-Man Brand New Day #8 * *The Road To Avengers Doomsday #28 * Perfection to me but I can understand why it isn’t for others. It does evidently identity itself on nostalgia but I think in this case it’s totally justifiable. After rewatching all of these movies, seeing it all come together here was nothing sort of a joy. I still can’t really understand how this film exists and how it was pulled off to such a high standard, but I’ll be forever grateful for it regardless!!!

Hadn’t seen this film in years and it is so amazing. It’s definitely fallen into that film bro category as of recent but I think that’s honestly giving the film a disservice. It’s such a fun ride from start to finish and considering the 3 hour runtime, it absolutely flies by. It may be one of my favourite DiCaprio performances and it feels very different from anything Scorsese has done as in moments it feels more like a comedy than anything else. It really does beg belief that these things actually happened but if they did, what the fuck. I do think it is an incredible achievement that this film was put together in such a polished manner and it’s one of my favourite Scorsese’s for sure!!!

I’m so sad for this movie. The fact that it was leaked and we were robbed of seeing this in the cinema is such a shame. That being said, this movie is a great time. It’s such a pleasure to see the gang back together again and the way the film digs into Aang’s mental state and his psyche is such an interesting but phenomenal choice. All the characters get great moments to shine, the film looks stunningly beautiful and it’s paced pretty perfectly. There are a couple of plot points that are quite predictable and some of the voice acting is a little all over the place but this film is still a great time, and hopefully we’ll get more in the future!!!

*The Road To Spider-Man Brand New Day #6 * *The Road To Avengers Doomsday #26* Basically on the same quality as *Spider-Man 3. *Has some great elements but is bogged down by a bonkers plot, too many villains and ridiculous choices. Andrew and Emma once again go far too hard for a movie of this quality and they honestly save this film so much. It does have serious visual flair though and probably has the best swing sequences we’ve seen. The score goes hard as well but that’s to be expected as it’s by Hans Zimmer. The actions also very decent and like I said, all the stuff between Peter and Gwen is very good. Harry is a laughing stock though, Electro is lame as hell and all the stuff with Peter’s parents is so unnecessary. Focus on one villain and this film could’ve worked much better. So happy that Andrew had his revenge arc in *No Way Home*!!!
