Movie Monday: Spider-Man Homecoming

I was really curious about this movie, but at the same time I was also a bit worried. The last Spider-Man movie I saw was the Amazing Spider-Man 2 and that movie made me depressed. So you can imagine I wasn't completely certain about Spider-Man Homecoming being a fun movie to watch. But Spider-Man Homecoming is actually a very good and funny movie, so definitely a movie you would want to watch!

Peter and Tony team up?

 Well...yes and no. I don't think this is a spoiler but I think it's safe to say that this movie isn't really the focus on them teaming up. Tony Stark is more a mentor to Peter Parker, helping him out a bit and also cleaning up his mess when he makes mistakes. It's interesting  to see Spider-Man as the fan boy in this movie, because he really wants to be an Avenger so he tries to impress Tony constantly. This already leads to some funny moments but there's much more to this movie than just that. But you should keep in mind that this is a Spider-Man movie, so Ironman plays a small role (more of a support role) in this movie. But he's a nice addition to the cast and definitely makes the movie more enjoyable.

Not your typical villain?

 In a lot of super hero movie you encounter villains that want to conquer the world or destroy the world. It's usually some over the top plan or crazy idea that they want to do and it's up to the hero or heroes to stop this villain. What's interesting about the Vulture, the main villain in Spider-Man Homecoming, is that he doesn't want to rule the world or anything like that. He steals high tech to sell it for a lot of money. You could say he's just a robber, but a dangerous one with powerful weapons and his suit with wings makes him a dangerous opponent. I must admit that I like this approach to the Vulture, not some revenge motive or crazy plan but just trying to get rich. Later in the movie you might even feel some sympathy for the Vulture.

Why should you watch this movie?

 Even if you're not really into super hero movies or action movies then this movie is still enjoyable because it's also a funny movie. At times it's more of a teenage experience movie and  that's not that much of a surprise because Peter Parker is only 15 in this movie, yes that surprised me too! So be prepared to see some awkward highschool moments, which we probably all had. There is a lot of action in this movie and a lot of things happening, so don't worry if you think that you're watching a drama. The most memorable part of this movie is for me the humour, I really needed this kind of Spider-Man movie after the Amazing Spider-Man 2 depression. I can definitely recommend Spider-Man Homecoming to you because it's a lot of fun and has a lot of great moments you can enjoy!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...

Mortal Kombat X isn´t just another fighting game?

You´ve probably seen the announce trailer of Mortal Kombat X, then you probably also know that it shows two familiar characters fighting against eachother. At that point you´re probably still thinking that it´s just more of the same but with a better coat of paint, I understand that pessimist look and it´s not often wrong. But from what I´ve heard about Mortal Kombat X is that it´s going to be more than just a new game in the Mortal Kombat game series. What´s new? Apparently there will be more fighting styles for one character, giving everyone his or her own favourite style to use against opponents. There was something familiar in another Mortal Kombat game where they also had weapons in a fighting style, but this seems to go a bit deeper and more unique. Of course these are just words at this point, nothing has been proven just yet! But this would make it more fun to play against other people and see who masters the ultimate style, but I´m certain that there is a counter style f...
