Naboo Starfighter (LEGO MOC)

For those who don't know what an "MoC" is, it basically means I designed and built this. It's based loosely off of the LEGO set 7877, but designed and built mostly from scratch.

Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 2

I know, this is a very late review, but I still see this film as worth reviewing because this is the first Spider-Man film to:

1. Be a sequel to a Spider-Man film where the actor of Spider was swinging in real life as opposed to CGI (very impressed with that), so this film is sure to also use a huge amount of practical effects.

2. Accurately portray Spider-Man's costume.

Those two things combined alone make this one of the most important movies. Ever.

Anyway, there were a lot of awesome/badass moments that Spider-Man had in this film. The action was fantastic. The action sequences and the whole film were based around what (I think) many fans believe to be one of the underlying premises of Spider-Man: he saves people. Spider-Man comics, from my small experience with them, put a lot of focus on him not just defeating super-villains in huge, epic battles, but also saving innocent New York citizens from these super-villains. This was one of the things they nailed in the film.

Another thing that they got right was that Spider-Man has a bad reputation. James J. Jameson is only mentioned in the film, and it's been a while since I watched it, but if I recall correctly you still get the idea that Spider-Man isn't getting a good reputation.

And of course there's one last thing which a Spider-Man movie always needs: Spider-Man's quips. And  he does (if I recall correctly) make quite a few jokes in the film, and to be honest though i appreciated that they put them in there, some of them felt a little bit forced.

Still a pretty great film though, I'd give it a 7.5/10.

Review, Iron Man: The Secret Origin of Tony Stark, Parts 1 & 2

Review of this book and this book.

These two books are phenomenal. I was on the edge of my seat while reading them, and they were a total thrill. The story is fantastic. The art is top-notch. Although the first book lacks very much action, the second book makes up for it with a huge breath-taking battle near the end, and the plot twist (or is it a "reveal"? I'm not sure) is excellent.

This could be the greatest comic book story I have ever read.

By the way, each book has at least one amazing two-page spread (the best one's in Part 2).

Highly recommend, 10/10.
