Spider-Man’s European vacation gets cut short in ‘Far From Home’ trailer

Even your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man needs a vacation. Between all of the mild-mannered studenting and Avenger-style world saving (not mention what transpired during Infinity War), Peter Parker could clearly use a break. The first trailer for July’s Far From Home finds Parker going Griswold, for a little European vacation, sans-suit (and Lindsey Buckingham soundtrack). But […]

Now you can listen to that ‘Spider-Verse’ Christmas bop

TwitterFacebook

Ever since the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, we can confirm: Nothing says Christmas like Spider-Man. 

Now you can finally listen to Spider-Man’s promotional single “Spidey-Bells” from the movie soundtrack – a song our friendly neighborhood hero made as a marketing gimmick and goes on to quickly regret.

The track starts out merrily enough, with Spider-Man (Chris Pine) belting a cover of “Jingle Bells” celebrating New York and crime-fighting during the holiday season. 

It doesn’t take long, however, for the adult Peter Parker to look inward at his life and choices, to wonder what could have driven him to be a full-time vigilante when he has so many other talents. Read more…

Critics confirm ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ is pretty amazing

TwitterFacebook

“In this telling of the story, it truly could be anyone behind that mask — a little girl, a grizzled detective, a middle-aged sad sack, maybe even another unassuming New York kid — and all the people wearing it are better together than they are apart.” 

Critics, like Mashable’s own Angie Han, come bearing excellent spidey-news: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is as amazing as fans had hoped—if not a little bit better. 

Sony’s animated take on a multi-dimensional Spider-Man filled universe has been met with across-the-board praise by early reviews, just weeks after a group of lucky New York Comic Con goers saw a 35-minute preview and reacted similarly.  Read more…

‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ puts the comic book back into comic book movies

TwitterFacebook

To say that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse feels like a comic book come to life may sound like faint praise, seeing as we’re two decades into a superhero movie boom that the original Spider-Man helped jump start. 

But few recent films have embraced the comic book style and sensibility — its visual quirks and anything-goes openness — as wholeheartedly as Spider-Verse has, or enjoyed as fully the potential in combining the two mediums.

Right off the bat, Spider-Verse acknowledges that it’s probably the 700th Spider-Man story you’ve seen in the past few years. A voiceover “yada yadas” the basics of Peter Parker’s origin story, while winking at almost every iteration of it; even the much-maligned Spider-Man 3 gets a rueful shoutout. This movie isn’t afraid of a laugh at its own expense, though the knowing humor is more affectionate than biting. Read more…

French ‘Spider Man’ returns, scales one of London’s tallest buildings without a rope

TwitterFacebook

French “Spider-Man” climber Alain Robert is back at it again, scaling one of London’s tallest buildings on Thursday  — without ropes.

The catch? He got arrested at the top.

According to Reuters, the 56-year-old climber made it to the top of London’s Heron Tower in an hour. Standing 230 metres (755 feet) high, it’s one of the highest buildings in the city, so scaling this thing without any support in sight is seriously impressive.

People watch Robert climbing Heron Tower, 110 Bishopsgate, in central London.

“Venom” is better than it has any right to be

What happens when a cast of Oscar contenders like Tom Hardy, Riz Ahmed and Michelle Williams are turned loose to chew the scenery of a (seemingly wryly self-aware) B movie? Audiences get “Venom”, the latest bid from Sony Pictures to create its own superhero mega-franchise now that storylines for the studio’s web-slinging centerpiece have merged […]
