Disney held its D23 Expo this past weekend. For the uninitiated, it is their biennial fan event in Anaheim showcasing exclusive sneak peeks at what's happening in the entertainment brands under Disney, including star-studded presentations for their animation and live-action series and films, parks and resorts, and more.
Continuing on from my review in the previous post, here are the fun stuff I noticed in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and more of my reactions to the plot.
Spidey has finally come home to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I know we've already seen him in Captain America: Civil War, but with so many characters in that movie, his appearance was more of a side note than anything. But now, we have a movie which focuses on him and his teenage problems while being part of the superhero universe he belongs to, and interacting with his older superhero siblings. We've never seen a Spider-Man movie that does the latter before, because Sony has always hoarded the rights to Spider-Man... until now.
Here's how the Marvel Phase One & Two limited edition box sets look like. Marvel hasn't released Phase Three's. Here's hoping it'll be out soon!
Here's another massively overdue review bonanza. Unfortunately, I'm always watching things much faster than I write about them, so sometimes it's stale news by the time I post them.
Re-watched Iron Man 3, this time with subtitles. I love re-watching movies with subtitles -- it just makes them much clearer. Whenever I catch a movie in theatres, I am only able to get about 80 percent of the dialogue, as they tend to mumble or speak too fast. And many times, for the dialogue that I do catch, the nuances of what they actually said don't really register until much later when I've time to think about it (which I don't, since I'll have forgotten it by then), or until I see it staring in my face in subtitles. (Yeah, you can probably tell that I am the worst kind of listener in conversations.)
