George of the Jungle (1997)

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Rating: ★★★

May 5, 2007Comic-Book Superhero

Last and by general opinion the least of the Sam Raimi-Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films. With three super-villains present, the plot feels as though it is bursting at the seams juggling the various origin stories and ongoing dramas, although Raimi still delivers some solid superheroic action scenes

Director: Sam Raimi

Actors: Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church, …

While the film bombed, it emerges as a fairly good and faithful, lavishly produced adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ swashbuckling planetary adventure

Hellboy (2019)

Rating: ★

Jul 19, 2019Demon Superhero/Comic-Book Adaptation

Reboot of the Hellboy series promisingly comes from Neil Marshall but is also made by Millennium Films who have a habit of buying up previously successful properties and churning out cheaper spinoffs
