I think the difference is Night and Day!

Yes. I love all three live-action versions of Spider-Man, but I agree. I hope after No Way Home we somehow get a TASM3 and a Raimi Spider-Man 4 alongside a continuation of the Holland films. One can dream!

I think The Amazing Spider-Man 1, and especially TASM 2 were both excellent and super underrated, even if the latter might be an unpopular opinion. And Andrew Garfield is still the best live-action Spider-Man to me.

The TASM films had better and more accurate characterization for Spider-Man and he wasn't handed everything on a plate. He had consequences and lessons to learn. I hope No Way Home gets back to that. I still love MCU Spidey, though! I am not dissing it.

I'd rank TASM and Raimi Spideys very closely followed by MCU Spidey in third place.

I can see the resemblance.



Cavill is great! They did him a disservice in Josstice League with the whole mustache fiasco, but at least he got redemption with the Snyder Cut!

Kind of a stupid line either way, but at least Snyder used a better take. He should've just cut it though.

Dean Cain was a more likable Superman than HC (though HC can be great in the right role)

What about the new Superman show, people are calling that Superman the Superman.

Yes, I watched the first 5 episodes when they first had them on HBOMax and now that the whole season is back, it's on my list of things to watch.

But I never watched the 90s show when it aired and now I'm finally catching up.

Amazing that Cain was arguably the first multiracial Superman.

I don't know if it's unpopular to prefer Cavill as Superman, but he's definitely my favorite version of Superman (aside from the Josstice League reshoot scenes).

If Nic Cage would of had his shot at Superman, there's a good chance his version would've been my favorite.

Oh look! Something in which kylor and I see eye to eye!

That movie was going to be filmed in Pittsburgh.

I like Nic Cage, but I just cannot see him in the Superman role. But that's just me. No disrespect to Mr. Cage of course.

But Christopher Reeve and Henry Cavill totally look like Superman to me and I am glad we got them.

Maguire was great. I love the Raimi versions most. He knew framing in all senses of the word. And they didn't take themselves terribly serious yet they knew when to be real. The emotional bits felt genuine too. And that's why Maguire was good. He played up the schmaltzy elements fantastically.

Webb's take is great. Garfield has a great take how a 50s take of Peter wouldn't work since nerds are cool. Or were around that time of the ASM films. So he played his emotions more inward and distancing himself from others. I like that. Felt natural and how a new age Peter would be acting. And the feeling of nuances with characters like Flash were great. The villains needed a bit more work but I enjoyed the more Spider Man elements.

Holland and Watts are what you would expect. He's played most like the comics but there's something more I want from Holland. His voice is agitating to me and I feel like he's holding back. Watching him as a kid in the Impossible it's astonishing how good he can be at acting.
I also don't enjoy the plots of the movie. The first one was fine but the second was nearly unwatchable to me. Felt like a mess.
And I know lots of people are stoked for this multiverse thing but it feels less special since the animated film did that only a few years ago.

Home Alone 2 is a good film and a good sequel. I don't mind that it's similar to the first. The heart is still there and it is underrated.

The Home Alone films all went downhill after that.

Also, Fuller is the best "nerd" in cinema history!

I’ve always liked 2! Can’t go wrong with Tim Curry!

I have a feeling that the season of non-stop Home Alone viewings will be upon me soon...

7 year old loves those 2 so much.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was intentional!

I also love Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci as the Wet Bandits in the two films. They make me laugh every time.
